Names of FOX News personalities keep popping up in these emails and messages in the impeachment investigation. How much are they involved?
We see names like Hannity, Ingraham, Dobbs, etc., amongst odd pieces of evidence? What was their specific role? Were they simply there for propaganda promotion?
Are they getting paid for their efforts?

We'll never know how much he's worth, because a lot is probably hidden on various islands, but it sounds like he is quite wealthy.
Ingraham also has to be complicit with a lot of information that is broadcast from FOX. She seems to glory in her connection to Trump and you can't be that close to him and not get dirty. JMVHO

(19,066 posts)Just so you know, FOX News played the Parnas interview like it was bad for Dems, that he totally dispelled Democratic theories about Ukraine, and implicated the Bidens. I'm dead serious, they had an article stating exactly that. Their lead article on their website last night was of how Mitch McConnell outplayed Pelosi badly on impeachment.
Some people will write this off as, "meh, that's hjow FOX has been for years." That's not true, they used to at least acknowledge stories and then spin them, now they've crossed over a new threshold. Pure propaganda.

(22,367 posts)Der Sturmer was the Fox News of the 3rd Reich.
He was part of the Nazi government.
His anti-Semitic propaganda enabled The Final Solution.
He was hanged at Nuremberg.

Burning at the state for all the "Witches we Hunt" down would be cheaper. Lots of blunder for that fire, trump, Barr, PompousAhole, Alex Jones, Rusty LimpBalls 🐘🇷🇺💩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

(12,382 posts)Was just thinking about the upcoming senate trial, and wondering if there were
going to be witnesses should/could Hannity/Carlson/Watters/Jennie be called as witnesses.
They must know more than they're letting on.
I then logged on to the DU and saw this thread.

How not complicit is that?

Blame Reagan, when he went along with doing away with the long standing Fairness Doctrine, he enabled Fox News. Limbaugh, etc.
