Lady Discovery is kin to Karma but faster on the uptake. Fox should have known better and settled as soon as possible, even if it did take an official retraction and a few million. If theyād done that super early, the media coverage of the settlement would have gone away pretty quickly
Glad they didnāt. I hope this tears them apart

Yeah, the article feels a little like wishful thinking. Or ādecent people with capacity for shame would feel anguish over thisā.
I also hope itās true, and I would love to see some more evidence of this anguish 
along the lines on an implosion.

It seems that from the stuff thatās come out, that Carlson and others only care about the economic viability of the network, and their own bottomlinesā¦ I have little doubt that people would just go find more fashy pastures should Fox implodeā¦

Ding ding ding!
The part I find so utterly cognitively dissonant is that Fox News has periodically claimed that āFox is entertainment, not newsā (aka the Alex Jones defense):
while ok ok yeah insisting that they are a ānewsā āoutletā WTFTM.
This bizarre song-and-dance gaslight-y shit only āworksā on the public when unimaginably huge piles of money are used to warp space, time, politicians, agencies that ought to be holding them accountable, etc.
Sigh.
If only this statement were true:
From that Salon article, I found this interesting:
Trump himself is, in many ways, the typical Fox viewer: Elderly, obsessed with his baseless grievances, and hostile to anything resembling reality-based journalism. His response to all this has been telling. Unsurprisingly, he has a sociopathās lack of remorse for getting Fox News into this situation in the first place, by making the Big Lie a thing their audience wanted to hear more of. Instead, heās been raving on Truth Social about āhow weak and ineffective Fox News isā and how they should defend themselves instead by doubling down on the lies, but this time in a court setting.
One can only imagine how things are going to go, if or when 
gets to the discovery phase in any of his pending cases.

I found this mildly encouraging, though some of the people who Fox loses may, as MindySan said, go to a competing fascist news source.

Yeah, the people moving away from 4chan Fox are not going to CNN. They are going to 8kun Breitbart and kiwifarms OAN.
