Karma, Going Around

NOW THAT FOX NEWS has admitted before God and country that as a corporation it behaved nefariously, broke the law, and sank to shocking depths of journalistic depravity in its coverage of Trump's big election lie and its consequences, the right wing television network is now a known felon. FOX "News" had it coming, and it came. It is a propaganda slinging pro terrorist organization, supportive of Trump's attempt to overthrow the government, and the criminal network may change it ways, or may not. Only time will tell, as we say. Justice is, wisely, deliberative, but inexorable. According to sworn testimony by Ivanka Trump, two weeks before the election her father told her: "No matter what happens, we'll just say that we won. Fuck it". FOX knew Trump's lie was and is ridiculous, like everyone else. But tellng the truth cost it much coveted ratings, and so, it persisted with the lies. Now its more than half a billion dollars poorer, its reputation, such as it ever was, severely damaged. But one must never lose sight of the profound depravity of millions of Trump supporters, and their willingness to let their lies and fantasies endure by clinging to them. The lawsuit by Domininon and the resulting out of courst settlement with FOX will not doubtless become another "witch hunt" for far right wing Christian conservative Trump America, another in the seemingly endless list of hit jobs fabricated and perpetrated by the many foes of the Donald; the media, the Chineese, Democrats, all the usual suspects. Neither Mr. Trump nor FOX News is finished dealing with lawsuits. More are in the pipeline for both criminals. Trump will likely be indicted by Georgia, and by the U.S. Department of Justice, among others. Currently one of the women he allegedly raped is having her day in court. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they turn... Long ago it was proven that Donald Trump knew full well that he lost the election to Biden, but chose to pepetuate the big election lie nonetheless. It is difficult to think of any greater betrayal of America, any more vile criminal act by a sitting president. Now that FOX has been clearly exposed and confirmed as complicit with Trmp's criminal behavior, his millions of cultish followers, many of whom still embrace the lie, are finding themselves on ever shakier ground, in terms of evidence and valid support for their fabricated claim. But so what? They'se always been on shaky ground, and it never stopped them before.
