    Rated it funny considering that Fox and a commitment to high journalistic standards are almost mutually exclusive, a linguistic oxymoron.

    I'll set the over/under on number of viewers Fox News loses over this at 4.

    Currently airing on Fox News: Elon Musk warns about the dangers of AI. Guess it is a slow news day.

    At that sum, it was a bottom-line impactful settlement. I think they needed to disclose it.

    I doubt it. Their numbers haven’t dropped at all, even with the fact that everyone knows they can’t be trusted.

    Their viewers don't watch for news they can trust; they watch for news they can trust will align with their worldview.

    Will be interesting to to see what this does to election denialism. The main pumper just admitted it was BS.

    I'm the end? Nothing. Birtherism was the trial run on election denialism. The political right showed that a significant chunk of their audience was willing to believe absolutely absurd lies that didn't even have a modicum of logic behind them if they helped them deal with cognitive dissonance and make sense of the world not being how they think it is.

    The arguments don't have to make sense. They just have to make Trump people feel better about the country that they love that also rejected their politics.

    It will be interesting to see if Tucker issues a serious statement, laughs it off, goes on offense., or maybe some combination. Here's my draft:

    [somber look] We care about you, the people, and that's why we ask questions - to hold the elitists who hate you and make fun of you for shopping at Wal-Mart accountable. It's very common in the world of business for responsible job creators to pay nine figure settlements. Lawyers make those decisions every day. It happens. What the elites want us to do is to shut up and allow the mainstream media to go unchecked....what can possibly go wrong there!!? They're so honest!!!!! [animated, forced cackling ensues]. [back to serious look] Of course, we are held to a different set of rules just like you are, and they're coming for you next. [awkward transition moment] Next up, we will supplement our reporting on testicle tanning and talk to a former feminist who explains why she no longer hates men.

    Distressingly, this will equate to nearly 300 IQ points less in their audience.

    They should follow Trump's lead and stop putting things in writing. Just speculating, but I imagine this entire case might have gone differently without the various texts and emails.

    How many hosts will they lose? That will be telling. Pirro is low hanging fruit. Maybe Bartaromo as well. The prime time hosts maybe be Ingram

    Maybe they fix their “Dobbs Problem” by terminating… Dobbs?

    I honestly have no clue who these people are you named. Is Ingram the same as Ingraham? I know her from being an idiot on Twitter. But I don't watch cable news
