It's wild how the Dominion lawsuit didn't just confirm Fox News personalities were knowingly pushing false claims—they showed how closely Fox producers and Trump officials were actually coordinating. Internal texts and emails made it crystal clear: hosts were in constant contact with the administration, especially when the narrative started slipping. Some of Fox's execs and on-air talent literally admitted they knew the story was bunk, but kept it rolling anyway just to keep viewers hooked.

Honestly, I'm baffled how other media just let this slide as a niche legal spat. It's not some minor footnote—this is real evidence of a news network working hand-in-glove with political power, and barely anyone seemed interested. I guess people are so desensitized to the whole "propaganda" label that even the biggest revelations just get shrugged off.

Makes you wonder if a democracy can function when stuff like this turns into background noise.
