I'm old enough to remember when White House reporters (surely the laziest beat in journalism) railed against the Obama Press Secretary for wanting to deny FoxNews a chair in the Briefing Room, because FoxNews was "legitimate" news.The texts show Fox trapped in a dilemma of its own making, afraid to admit the election was honest bc they'll lose viewers to Newsmax. Tucker rages and tries to get Fox reporter @JacquiHeinrich fired after she admits the election wasn't stolen. pic.twitter.com/jyadnISWYK

Hannity told Carlson and Ingraham on November 12: “In one week and one debate they destroyed a brand that took 25 years to build and the damage is incalculable.”....Meanwhile, later that night of November 12, Ingraham was still texting with Hannity and Carlson. In their group text thread, Carlson pointed Hannity to a tweet by Fox reporter Jacqui Heinrich. Ex.230 at FNN035_03890511 . Heinrich was “fact checking” a tweet by Trump that mentioned Dominion–and specifically mentioned Hannity’s and Dobbs’ broadcasts that evening discussing Dominion. Ex.232; Ex.231. Heinrich correctly fact-checked the tweet, pointing out that top election infrastructure officials said that, “‘There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes ,changed votes ,or was in any way compromised'” Id Ex.232.Carlson told Hannity: Please get her fired. Seriously …. What the fuck? I’m actually shocked…It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.” Ex.230 at FNN035_03890511. Tucker added: “I just went crazy on Meade over it.” Id. at FNN035_03890512 . Hannity said he had “already sent to Suzanne with a really?” He then added: “I’m 3 strikes . Wallace shit debate [] Election night a disaster [.] Now this BS? Nope. Not gonna fly. Did I mention Cavuto?”*
Why, if I close my eyes, it's like listening in on a conversation between Walter Cronkite and Harry Reasoner with Mike Wallace!
25 years down the tubes in one night, Sean? Wow! So your network really is a house of cards? I'm sure Ed Murrow felt the same way when he was being attacked by Tailgunner Joe McCarthy.
Biden should personally chuck Peter Doocey out of the White House on his ass. And the rest of the "White House Press Corps" (what a stupid designation) should take a prolonged spiritual retreat to repent of their sins, both of omission and commission. And take their newspapers and news agencies and networks with them.
*Excerpts from the Dominion Motion for Summary Judgement against FoxNews, which means it really is "evidence" and not just the insane ramblings of Sidney Powell as gleamed from a woman who claimed she was a time-traveler.
That was too much even for FoxNews, even though they never reported it to the public. Got a brand to protect, donchaknow?According to the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News, one of the sources for the network's "election fraud" information said she got her information from "experiencing something like time-travel in a semi-conscious state" that allows her to "see what others don't see." pic.twitter.com/oFexxz01L9

Reading those internal messages from Fox News confirming they are exactly what Obama said they were. After which other press defended them.

And since we're on the subject:I know it would never happen, but if the White House ever had the nerve to revoke the Fox News press pass the time would be now.

Judges would accept "Both/and."Given his insane laugh, my money’s on Joker.
