Sometimes something happens in the news that makes you think immediately of something else that just happened in the news. There are two big stories converging in my view, and I’m here for it. Check it out, in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/a-convergence-of-lies-fox-and-the?sd=pf
A Convergence of Lies: Fox and the Trump Campaign

Two separate news items broke on Wednesday that, upon closer inspection, feel closely related, even if driven by different and separate forces. First, the judge in the Dominion defamation case against Fox, Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis, sanctioned the network

The Status Kuo
@jaykuo I don't think it holds legal water, but the argument I've been seeing is that even if Trump and co. knew there was no actual evidence of fraud, they still believed it existed, and would eventually be discovered, and fundraised from that belief. Which would make the legal question hinge on whether paranoia/faith mitigates intent to commit fraud.
@jaykuo But isn't he the bad guy or just a grifter
@jaykuo ...Is this one of the new things it wants to happen...or is it one of the things that are being investigated for being more fraud raising money for nonexistant things and the need of more money for its opulent lifestyle...?
@jaykuo A 1,000% match? If that were true, we could bankrupt the guy for a few hundred bucks.
@jaykuo Thanks!. The trail is sooo messy, i find your summary helpful.
@jaykuo What we need is an "OFFICIAL IMPRISON TRAITORS FUND" that says "WE NEED TO FIGHT BACK AND LOCK UP EVERY RIGHTWING TRAITOR TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

@jaykuo I spend 9 years working in the Elections business as the Voting System Administrator. Part of my job was to ensure ballots were counted and votes reported accurately.

What concerns me is that the people who run for office do not actually know how elections work. This is especially evident when they lay out baseless claims that contain technically inaccurate information.

The compounding issue is that voters also don't know how elections work, so they believe what they hear.

@jaykuo I thought he was a billionaire?
