So it appears the liar choir at Fox News has been outed.

According to court filings, the Big Three at America’s most-watched cable “news” channel all knowingly lied about the 2020 election being stolen. That’s Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity, the Fox News hosts with the largest prime-time audiences.

More than that, court documents allege all three actively promoted baseless conspiracy theories, despite not believing them. Even the man who pays these for-sale-or-rent “journalists” apparently knew that his TV cash-cow was broadcasting then-President Donald Trump’s lies as truth. At one point, Rupert Murdoch wrote that perhaps it was time to admit that Joe Biden won the election. No one at Fox took him up on it. Had to be careful, you see, not to “piss off” the audience. Fox News claims that the court filings have cherry-picked quotes and taken them out of context.

Ingraham and Hannity certainly fell from grace when their internal emails were revealed in the $1.6-billion defamation case involving election technology company Dominion and Fox News.

Hannity called Trump enabler Rudy Giuliani “an insane person.” Ingraham apparently agreed, texting that he was “such an idiot.” That said, neither of them could get enough of Giuliani on their shows. Ingraham also texted her colleagues that disgraced conspiracy theorist and lawyer Sidney Powell was “… a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy.” Tucker Carlson’s producer seemed to agree. This is how he characterized the woman who was a frequent guest on Fox. “She is a fucking nutcase.”
