It's hard to overstate the danger to a free society, democracy and truth with Kevin McCarthy handing over 41,000 hours of Jan. 6 footage to Fox's election-denying, pro-Putin propagandist Tucker Carlson. This is a betrayal of American democracy and freedom.

This belongs to the people. Giving it to one Russian-supporting, Election-lying, racial anger fomenting propagandist is defrauding the American people. Who has standing to litigate?

@DroidEngineer @StevenBeschloss So how many years will Carlson be on hiatus to listen to it all?

Well, he is only interested in a specific subset of the footage. Maybe he'll get ex-Cambridge Analytica staff to help.

He may be trying to taint evidence.

@pjtn @StevenBeschloss It's less a question of "may" and more a question of "when" and "how much will he have tainted it"?

@StevenBeschloss @CBells I agree. I wonder if his council encouraged this move.

@MattFerrel @JDignum @StevenBeschloss @mehdihasan @AshaRangappa @anneapplebaum the time is now and their actions are weak. Ukrainians have been giving up everything for democracy and some American journalists can’t leave a company run by a foreign born fascist because they like clicks. We. Are. DOOMED

Except Washington Post readers know that the talking heads at Fox and Fox management know they're lying to the American public. It's all about ratings and money to Murdoch and his employees.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/17/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-texts-election-claims/

Fox News is worse than you thought

Internal communications among network officials show a concern for ratings and not much else.

@Godfrey642 @StevenBeschloss As a life-long American, I, too, cannot fathom why a whole bunch of traitors haven’t been put on trial—especially the ones still in elected office!

Justice delayed for such egregious offenses seems like encouragement for other scoundrels.
