    People arrested and charged with fraud. On a scale that has an impact of changing the outcome.

    Since there's no proof, as you stated, then that means there isn't enough fraud to change that outcome.

    I am not in the habit of believing conspiracy theories.

    EDIT:
    Certainly something that would have been real proof, if Fox went to trial and proved Dominion vote machines were indeed altered.
    They didn't, because it was known they lied.

    They have another opportunity to get Smartmatics vote machines out there for the public to see this fraud.
    But I bet, they will also admit to making false claims about that company as well.

    Then there's Guiliani, Powell, Lindell, etc who all made claims.
    And they all pretty have admitted to some degree, they had no proof.

    They are also being sued, and I bet they lose as well.

    So the real question is, why do you still believe THE BIG LIE?

    No one was arrested for lying about the Gulf of Tonkin false flag that got us into the Vietnam war. Operation Northwoods, MK-Ultra ...no arrests. No one was arrested for lying about WMD's in Iraq that got us into the Iraq war. Is it your opinion that since there were no arrests, Iraq therfore had WMDs and was a credible threat to the US, justifying an invasion?

    These are all known conspiracies, all labeled as 'theories' until long after the purpose of the conspiracy had been fulfilled, those who tried to expose them having been dismissed as 'not having proof' and 'trying to undermine the govt' and even 'foreign propaganda'. It doesn't mean all conspiracy theories are true, of course. But it does set the precedent that the govt can get away with crime on a massive scale while suppressing anything that would be considered 'proof' until long after the crime has been committed ...and rarely are the criminals ever held accountable in court.

    I noticed you didn't answer the question.

    Again, I don't tend to believe conspiracy theories.
    And as you already agreed with me, Elections are run by States. 50 different elections. Run by boards of some sort in each State. Controlled in some fashion by each party.

    Maybe they confused this thread for a Senate hearing?

    I didn't notice you ask a question. I still don't see one. ...and I already explained earlier why 'the states run elections' doesn't prevent the opportunity for fraud or conspiracy of fraud.

    You are reading what you want to read into it. It is quite specific, that Congress, not everyone, shall not abridge free speech. Hence why Congress is specifically prohibited, not private enterprises or individuals amongst other individuals.

    LOL, Again, what part of "business decision" do you not understand? It has nothing to do with Tucker's alternative reality here on whether or not he is controlled or not, whatever the hell that means in your political realm.

    Wouldn’t it be a business decision to fire someone who defies his bosses and refuses to be controlled?

    Perhaps you responded before my 2nd edit.

    You explained it, but that doesn't mean it happened. It's a theory.
    And as you said, there's no proof.
    Not from anyone.

    The conspiracy theory of election fraud and coverup is a more likely explanation than the coincidence theory that all the statistically implausible results that have never happened before had nothing to do with the individual examples of vote counting impropriety on a scale that has never been seen before. Correlation isn't necessarily causation, but its certainly the primary indicator.

    Again, i don't typically believe conspiracy theories. Nor will I promote them as evidence of something happening.

    You are the one making claims about 1 A --- things that do not exist in there .. now projecting your "reading what you want into it" onto me

    "Congress shall not abridge free speech" True but why are you saying this -- has nothing to do with affirming your previous claim which was false ... something the 1 A did not say .. go back and figure out your error .. and get back to me .. and answer the 3 questions put to you. related to degradation of free speech .. not what Congres has to say .. nor the 1 A ..

    So, why do you think CNN is Fox news?

    That would be a business decision. But it was not because he was a maverick. It was the text messages by Tucker Carlson that were 1000 times worse than what Don Lemmon did in comparison.

    I don't.
    That's an absurd assumption.

    This thread is about Carlson and fox.

    But CNN is the station which promotes conspiracy theories. Largely lies.

    Did you make a typo? Or did you mispost in the wrong thread?

    Was it CNN that just settle a defamation lawsuit for almost $800M for making false claims?

    Source pls.

    And do they have another one that's going thru the court system as we type?

    Yes.
    It's in the court record but amount sealed by CNN forced agreement.
    Actually, more lawsuits are pending against CNN.

    You do know people can lie without defaming others, right? Why are you throwing out another red herring?

    Do you believe that this was truthful reporting?

    Um -- only one who is underinformed about human nature and history thinks conspiracies do not exist in general. Those who pay attention find that such is the rule rather than the exception .. The naturre of humans is to conspire :)

    Could be business decision .. but not a very good one ..Tucker was by far the highest rated host -- by a mile.
    Could be the Woke Joke Neocon Poke ... "Censorship" and the "DEEP STATE"

    Highly doubt it was because he used "The C Word" -- a perfectly apt description . albeit slightly anti-PC language .. not ridiculously so though .. and he doesn't work for the Woke Joke Left Media .. Was not because he said he hated Trump.

    What he did do - is the one thing you are not allowed to do .. Just ask Phil Donahue or Bill Maher .. both who recieved similar spanking. I am curious if Maher has commented "New Rules" - things you can't say in US Media .. and survive.

    You do know Tucker is a news commentator right? It's not a new position and many news organizations have them now. We know Tucker wasn't catering to Fox's very important pharmaceutical advertiser, the government or the deep state. No one forces anyone to watch anyones broadcast.

    I see, another that can never provide evidence to a claim made.

    Yes, that's what I basically said in the post you responded to.
    I am glad we agree.
