Fox News Fears Competitors Will Steal Its "Journalistic Processes"

Faux Noise's latest attempt to hide its dirty laundry:

Media organizations have spent recent weeks feasting on all the emails and text messages emerging from the ongoing defamation case Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News. They depict a propaganda network in panicked action -- promoting election-theft theories that hosts and executives don't believe, denouncing reporters who do actual journalism, and fretting about audience loss.

Yet a motion that Fox News filed on Friday may outpace all the internal correspondence for sheer risibility. It argues that the Delaware court presiding over the case should maintain the confidentiality of discovery material already redacted by the network, shielding it from the public’s curious eyes....

Fox News lawyers say one reason for the confidentiality is that competitors will pounce: "Prematurely disclosing these other details on Fox's internal and proprietary journalistic processes may allow competitors to appropriate these processes for their own competitive advantage, to Fox's detriment...".


Apparently, the other right-wing propaganda outlets don't already know how to cherrypick data, distort facts, and tell lies, and are eager to learn Faux Noise's secret techniques.

None. Neither has anyone there. Sure they go for viewership but not one single award.

A lengthy list, but would include: gaslighting, disinformation promoting violence, suppression of "unfavorable or inconvenient" facts, corporate greed, subservience to a major political party over the country, and a complete lack of journalistic ethics.

Malicious political gossip mongering is hardly proprietary to Fox.
It's been the purview of the GOP for generations.
