  1. The leaders in their debate last night accused each other of lying, EG Anthony Albanese accusing the Libs of 'ripping out $80 bn from health and education'. It's true they intended exactly that in the 2014 budget but were curtailed in the Senate with the Greens playing a prominent part. So it's a fudge by Albo. But if we are talking about lying, have we already forgotten Tony Abbott's barefaced lies about this in 2013? #Auspol, #leadersdebate, #ElectionLies

  2. Here is *every* discussion about election integrity I've seen:

    [1]

    A: "Elections are secure, and I will happily show you all the technical details about why elections are secure so you can see for yourself."

    B: "That is hard to follow! I'm bored."

    [2]

    C: "The election was stolen by *them*, the people *we* hate!"

    B: "Hmmm. That sounds right to me! It must be true!"

    Willful intellectual laziness enabled by simplistic lies.

  3. CW: USPol: Giuliani fired from radio show for insisting on spreading the Big Lie

    Even a Trump donor wouldn't put up with Rudy Giuliani's determination to spread election misinformation. (He may have reasonably worried about his entire radio station being sued.) Anyway, Rudy's intransigence has just lost him one of his few remaining ways to earn any money with which to pay back his massive debts.

  6. Fox “News” management was/is way too concerned about preserving viewership numbers.

    Which raises the question: what exactly is the correlation between viewership numbers and advertising revenue? How many $ per viewer share?

    Restated, how much money DID they make off of the big lie???

    And it’s fair to ask… how much revenue did their pursuit of the Big Lie coverage drive to CNN and the other networks?

    What if it was illegal for broadcast-media outlets to to tie advertising rates to viewership numbers during election coverage programs or segments of programs?

  7. i don't want to upset those discussing the Fox settlement but it is likely that this amount is going to be paid for by their insurance carrier

  8. I hope the DOJ thoroughly investigates Fox “News” and shuts the shitshow down, permanently. With its willful lies, Murdoch’s propaganda machine has been integral in spreading the distortions and misinformation that contributed significantly to the nearly successful coup that Trump staged against U.S. democracy.
    
The sooner Murdoch and his mendacious minions meet their demise, the better.

  10. Key leaders of “The Family,” the secretive #Christian group that started the National Prayer Breakfast in 1953, backed #Trump’s #ElectionLies and have supported #election #denialism and false allegations of #ElectionFraud in the past, both here in the U.S. and abroad.
