Plan B Forum

Oh please let it be true. Maybe Fox can go the way of Gawker.

Fox alleged News through many of its on-air alleged talent alleged people has been spreading stories that Smartmatic, a provider of voting software, is a Venezuelan front set up by Hugo Chavez and George Soros to send votes from Trump to Biden by the busload. Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo and Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell (those last two as guests) in particular seem to have been spreading this BS.

Smartmatic is now threatening lawsuits. You can read the lawyer's letter here - 30 pages of entertainment which would be more enjoyable if this were not deadly serious. They demand a full retraction which is featured on air at least as prominently as the original broadcasts.

So Dobbs has played a three minute pseudo-interview with one Eddie Perez which basically debunks Dobbs' (and others') reporting. This is hardly a retraction and certainly not at the same megaphone level as the original reporting.

I doubt that this will satisfy Smartmatic's lawyers, so here's hoping the lawsuit goes ahead.

Yeah, I wouldn't have accepted that as any sort of retraction, they basically presented it as just one more opinion on the matter, when the allegations they initially made were clearly contrary to fact. Plus, the weasel way they had a computerized voice asking the questions, so that Dobbs didn't have to participate in the debunking of his own bullshit.
