.speechboy71: It’s hard to see how a public apology would change the cultlike hold that Fox News has on its viewers. They want to be lied to.
. “It’s measurably hurting the company,” Carlson told Hannity and fellow talking head Laura Ingraham in a group chat. “The stock price is down. Not a joke.” Soon after, Heinrich deleted the tweet. And when host Neil Cavuto cut away from a White House news conference after press secretary Kayleigh McEnany made false fraud allegations, Fox executives complained about “the brand threat” from his actions.
Behind the scenes, Fox personalities and executives knew that Cavuto, Heinrich, et al. were correct — and said so in text messages and emails that Dominion publicized in legal filings. But they also understood that they must uphold the deal they’d long ago made with Fox’s viewers: tell them exactly what they wanted to hear in return for their loyalty.
This is how the conservative echo chamber has long operated. Since Trump first ran for president nearly eight years ago, he has taken standard Republican mistruths and. Trump told his supporters that he wouldn’t just stop illegal immigration but build a wall. He said he wouldn’t just defeat Hillary Clinton but lock her up. And he wouldn’t just ban some Muslims but prevent all of them from entering the country. “I alone can fix it,” he said at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
