"[I]t took them 40 years to do it but they did exactly what they said they were going to do. It might be a good idea to listen to them, you know, now, and hear what they want to do next, so we don't go to bed one night and wake up 50 fucking years ago. Again."

The Dominion saga exposed Fox for the propaganda outlet it's always been, but accountability cannot end with the settlement -- from me and @bendimiero https://t.co/nxOvOOA263

[Andrew Lawrence @ndrew_lawrence]

cable companies force you to pay for this channel that admits it lies and your money will be going toward their settlement payment

[Angelo Carusone @GoAngelo]

1/Fox's statement said they acknowledge "certain" statements they made about Dominion were not accurate. But the court found that not a single thing Fox said about Dominion was accurate.

Based on this and other things, here's my warning: Fox is about to burn brighter and hotter

[Angelo Carusone @GoAngelo]

2/To use a metaphor: Fox didn't just get away with murder; they basically got a license to kill.

Unless we cut off their inflated guaranteed revenue from their wildly overpriced cable carriage fees, Fox is gonna use the license.

[Angelo Carusone @GoAngelo]

3/ Remember: Fox is renewing several cable carriage deals right now. Just to put this into context. The increases ... just the increases they are trying to get from cable companies is several times larger than the check they just wrote to Dominion.

[Angelo Carusone @GoAngelo]

4/ The only way to make sure the keyhole view we just got into the industrial scale deceit of Fox News is to make sure Fox's enablers act accordingly. That starts with cable providers.

Going back 30 years, they have not deviated from this consistent position.

Why why why aren't we seeing more news on this? Outrage from Dems? If he went through all that effort to hide one paper, it seems likely that he hid other stuff, too, no??

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

When poor people break the law, the law assumes malice and ill intent, when the rich and powerful break the law, the law assumes it’s a clerical error, a mistake, an oversight, and then officials politely suggest they correct their error when it’s convenient for them

The ease with which the right went from whining about cancel culture to this bullshit tells everything you need to know about their actual concerns

2016: [Donald Trump defeats 100 Republicans competing for Heritage scores despite lifelong history of liberal positions and a no-entitlement-cuts pledge]

2024: If I can just get to his right on every single policy issue this time I can beat him

This is a big deal: After threatening to close its libraries entirely, Llano County in Texas has backed down. Shining a national spotlight on these local reactionaries makes it harder for them to get away with book bans and other vile censorship schemes:

Gender care specialists and OBGYNs seem to be the only kinds of doctors who get routinely excluded from debates about their own field because they're presumed to have too much of an agenda to honestly discuss the science behind what they do every day.

[Matthew Chapman @fawfulfan]

"Note that this article is not focusing on gender care specialists."

Cool, so in other words, Benjamin Ryan wants to hear from doctors about transgender health care, as long as they're not the doctors who actually understand and provide it. Laughably transparent motives here.
