A new filing in Dominion's defamation lawsuit against Fox includes claims that Rupert Murdoch gave Jared Kushner confidential information about Joe Biden's campaign in the lead-up to the 2020 election. Which would prove what we've been saying all along: Fox is a Republican propaganda machine masquerading as a news organization. News organizations at least attempt to tell the truth. Via Business Insider:

Dominion Voting Systems opposed Fox News' move to throw out the lawsuit in a new filing on Monday, in a high-stakes case set for an April trial. The voting company alleged through depositions, and internal texts and emails, that Murdoch provided Jared Kushner with advance knowledge of then-candidate Joe Biden's political ads and debate preparations.

"During Trump's campaign, Rupert provided Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor, Jared Kushner, with Fox confidential information about Biden's ads, along with debate strategy (providing Kushner a preview of Biden's ads before they were public)," Dominion's lawyers wrote in the filing.

But wait, there's more!

We also learned that when Fox did attempt to correct factual misinformation, their viewers changed the channel. They have been so thoroughly trained to swallow the bullshit, they don't want anything else. What a dilemma. As Tucker Carlson whined, the stock prices went down!

But here's the really sad truth: Most Fox viewers won't know a thing about this lawsuit. How would they find out? By watching Fox?
