A “news” agency pushing the “big lie” knowing that it was false. You got to feel bad for the people who get their information from them. What else are they being lied to about? How many other daily lies are they being innocently fed? It’s a huge betrayal to them & the rest of us.

“Murdoch said Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro all endorsed the notion that the election was stolen.”

@MarkRuffalo The question that occurs to me is why isn't this illegal? We have legislation in place to prevent misinformation being broadcast online here in the UK (although enforcement is an obvious issue) so why shouldn't traditional broadcast media be included? If the BBC were found to be doing this, they'd be shut down in a week.

@benjamincox @MarkRuffalo Because Murdoch’s pals are in charge. Fox News is GOP’s propaganda arm.

@benjamincox @MarkRuffalo The 1st Amendment protects speech, even lies. But Fox may soon at least pay for it
