Is Fox News Really Doomed?
Shortly after Donald Trump lost the presidential election, two of his lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, convened a deranged press conference proclaiming that Trump had “clearly won by a landslide” but that he had been the victim of an elaborate conspiracy. It involved a then-obscure election-technology company named Dominion Voting Systems, which they accused of stealing votes from Trump and flipping them to Joe Biden through the use of an algorithm that had originally been created at the behest of former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. Giuliani and Powell had already been peddling this false nonsense all over conservative media, including in appearances on Fox News, but the news conference was apparently too much even for Rupert Murdoch.
“Really crazy stuff. And damaging,” the network’s owner wrote, as he watched the appearance, in one of many highly entertaining internal communications that have become public recently thanks to the lawsuit filed by Dominion against Fox over the network’s allegedly defamatory coverage of the company following the 2020 election. One network executive who was also watching wrote separately to someone, “This sounds SO FUCKING CRAZY btw.” The day before, star host Tucker Carlson told his prime-time colleague Laura Ingraham, “Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane.” None of this, however, prevented Powell and Giuliani from appearing on the network in the subsequent weeks saying the same transparently absurd things to Fox News’ audience.
