Dominion Voting wins key decision in lawsuit against Fox News
(don't shoot the messenger unless you intend to ask questions later)
I'll only quote facts reported in the article rather than any opinion. Each fact is either true or false, regardless of the source that reports it.
1: A judge in Delaware has found that Fox News' coverage of election fraud after the 2020 election may have been inaccurate, and is allowing a major defamation case against the right-wing TV network to move forward.
2: Judge Eric Davis of the Delaware Superior Court declined to dismiss Dominion Voting System's lawsuit against Fox News in a significant ruling Thursday.
3: The ruling will now allow Dominion to attempt to unearth extensive communications within Fox News as they gather evidence for the case, and the company may be able to interview the network's top names under oath.
4: Davis called out, in the 52-page opinion, that Fox News may have slanted its coverage to push election fraud, knowing the accusations were wrong.
5: Dominion alerted the network's anchors and executives to information that disproved accusations of widespread vote-switching following Donald Trump's re-election loss, the judge noted.
6: The lawsuit alleges Fox News personalities including Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro, Sean Hannity and their on-air guests Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell spread lies about fraud in the 2020 election that hurt Dominion's business. It is one of several lawsuits Dominion has brought related to right-wing claims after the election, and is a major win for the company.
Was there bamboo on the ballots? Did the voting machines have constant contact with servers outside the US via Italian satellites?

Black box voting or Russiagate?

You don't think bamboo on the ballots is a weird conspiracy? Or voting machines tampered with by dead dictator tots? Or Italian satellites? No, none of that sounds like a wacko conspiracy to you -- because you heard it on FOX "News".

Maybe you should not post as AC if you don't want to be mistaken for someone else. Doesn't look like you were, but still you whine.

If people want to believe in that stuff, that's their business, I Ignore it, don't have the time or space to fill my head with that junk, but electronic voting is compromised, you shouldn't doubt that. We don't need it. It is not a better mousetrap. It's a gimmick, a refrigerator for your igloo on the North Pole. It has absolutely has no advantage for anybody but the people who sell the machines like a travelling medicine show

As far as conspiracy theories go, Russiagate had a lot going on for it.
The only problem is that the Democratic Party's base is not motivated by conspiracy theories. On the other hand, the Republican Party's base demonstrably is.

It is not a conspiracy when it is fact. Whether Russia hacked voting machines to change votes, or if they only used media propaganda campaigns hardly matters. They worked hard to get that grifter in office and the conflicts of interest like the tower in Moscow were conveniently ignored.
Sheeit son, just dumbo's public request for Russia to hack Clinton's email should have disqualified him entirely. Not that anyone cares to protect Clinton (we know her name us triggering and causes all sorts of propaganda primed outrage in Fox viewers) we just don't agree with allowing politicians to recruit foreign assets to help their political aspirations. You know, the sort of thing that Republicans would normally cry foul over, but when their "side" does it suddenly it umis ok for reasons. Ooh, exactly like rightwing opposition to abortion, it us immoral right up until they need one and their reasons are somehow always valid. Like, what the fuck?

Save it... "Russiagate" is just the democrats' refusal to acknowledge they lost for their own political machinations. And hacking voting machines is a real threat, propaganda is bullshit you can tune out. At worst the Russians bought ad time, paid for by Americans.. And furthermore, it's the DNC emails that are more interesting, not Clinton's. All our election issues are domestic. Russia is a whaddya call it? Strawman...
