It's not just that Fox News audiences don't care if they're lied to. Lies are what they crave. They tune into Fox News because lies are exactly what they want to hear.

I'm going to indulge for a moment in told-ya-so: I've long written about my view that Republican voters don't really believe the Big Lie, even as they claim they do to pollsters. Instead, I've argued, it's less a sincere belief than a collective lie Republicans tell together, as a power play and a show of tribal loyalty. In other words, Republicans aren't fooled by Trump's claims he "won" the 2020 election. They just think they're in on the con. Yet every time I write about this, I get serious pushback from people insisting that Republicans "really" believe this stuff.

Well, if that were true, then audiences would be angry at Fox News for lying to their faces. That isn't happening, and no one expects it to.

    If only state laws could be changed by executive fiat on how they conduct elections you might have a point. The dazzler must have missed the explanation about how a statute is changed by the legislature through this thing called a bill and then signed into law by the governor. It's almost like he never went to law school.

    When the dazzler looks to Salon for an honest assessment of anything, then you know the fix is in.

    Really scintillating analysis of nothing whatsoever to do with the Dominion lies, Gasbag.

    Strong work!

    Tucker says you girls believe a bunch of bullshit. But not to your faces, so it's okay.

    The texts are irrelevant. Fraud has been mentioned enough by them to make the base forever question elections, which was the only intent.

    Eagle Freedom Arms Bearer News will keep running with it though.

    If the racist Democrats thought black and brown folks capable enough to get an ID, we? could put the whole matter to rest.

    Don't hold your breath.

    People forget that Mexico is surprisingly good with voter ID. People forget that.

    What’s your definition of a “journalist”, Mr. Salon.com?

    Embarrassing that you admit to reading Salon. Now I know for sure you’re a mouth agape moron posing as a lawyer here.
