As the lawyer who helped lead the effort to defeat Donald Trump's bogus lawsuits after the 2020 election, I try to imagine how different it would be right now if Fox News had said at the time that Trump lost, period. We wouldn't be dealing with election deniers staffing the White House and DOJ.

Can’t FOX be held accountable? Can we do a class action suit by all the voters who voted for Kamala for $100 Billion?

they KNOW he lost. they do. It's convenient for them to tow the line so they get into or stay in lunatic Trump's good graces. Even HE knows he lost, but will never admit it and used that as a tool to fire up his base. Just like he uses racism & hate & immigrants

Appreciate the sentiment but I think you are giving Fox News a little too much credit here. They are just a cog in the giant right wing disinformation sphere. They should be held accountable but they are far from alone.

Kerry from Diversions Puzzles @kerrydiversions.bsky.social

Everything we're going thru now has been caused by three decades of Fox News. Their entire business model is to lie to their viewers. The 2020 election proved Fox viewers WANT & DEMAND to be lied to. Until they want to hear truth again (it's actually in their own best interests) nothing will change.

Election result denialism is a piece of the bigger piece of the problem that Trump and Republicans lie… but it serves a purpose which is bigger than just election denial… they are united in hate and lies. Just like Nazis… no one could reason with them, either

I wonder why all I hear from “sensible” cons is Dems set must break the laws and the rules, like GOP. No surprise Wallace and Dowd call out Dems. Why is it up to Dems? Bc GOP members won’t protect their constituents.

Blame white voters. Some 52 percent of white women voted for Trump AFTER his Supremely Corrupt Court outlawed abortion (on the basis of a made-up theory contradicted by the history it relied on). Even if they don't vote for Trump, they vote in great numbers for the Republicans who enable him.

How different it would be today if Mitch McConnell had not stopped Republican senators from voting to convict Trump. Not only would we not have to put up with Trump, the GOP would not have to either.

While there might be legal/financial ramifications, the damage has been done, is ongoing and unfortunately will persist. The far right has insisted every election since then is also tainted, underpinning every move to make fair voting harder. 2020 election denialism, like Jan 6, was merely practice.
