From Emerald Robinson's Substack:

quote:



Fox News might as well be Helen Keller right now: it can’t see or hear anything about the stolen election. So it cannot allow Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary “2000 Mules” to be mentioned on their shows because Fox News told its audience for the last 18 months that election fraud was a myth pushed by conspiracy theorists.

You do remember that, don’t you?



The real reason that “2000 Mules” is being ignored by the conservative corporate media and the liberal corporate media is because it’s true. The stolen 2020 election was the largest political interference operation ever conducted in America. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s charity spent more than $400 million to create a private election system in swing states — and he was hardly alone. It took massive coordination from both political parties and the corporate media and federal law enforcement and left-wing NGO’s to thwart the will of the American people in 2020.

The problem for both political parties and the corporate media and federal law enforcement and left-wing NGO’s is that they pulled it off but they got caught doing it. The fraud was much too pervasive and public to be kept secret. That’s why “2000 Mules” is creating such an awkward moment at Fox News. Our corrupt institutions have no idea what to do next. They can't admit to the fraud — but they also can't dismiss the evidence. (They tried for the last 18 months and it didn’t work.) They have to pretend now that nothing is happening and they have to keep pretending until 2024.

It’s one thing for the FBI to gaslight the American people. (That’s their specialty.) It’s a whole different matter for Fox News to spit in the face of its own audience for the next three years and call it rain. Fox executives are not going to allow Trump’s rallies to be aired on their channel; they’re not going to apologize for pushing Biden’s vaccine mandates; and they’re not going to allow election fraud to be discussed.

Add it all together: it’s a losing hand.


quote:

Fox News doesn’t want to cover election fraud because the GOP establishment doesn’t want to find election fraud when it involves cheating to defeat Donald Trump. Fox News is the voice of the GOP establishment. (That’s why Rupert Murdoch has secret meetings with Bill Barr rather than Trump at his home during the Trump Administration.) Fox News is the voice of Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and Mike Pence and Bill Barr and a bunch of other unpopular politicians who want rid of President Trump permanently.

In other words, Fox News is the voice of the uniparty regime in Washington.

That regime doesn’t have any GOP voters left. Look at McConnell’s poll numbers. Look at Pence’s poll numbers. Trump just endorsed a bunch of primary candidates and they just swept through the GOP establishment’s picks like Hunter Biden at a strip club. The GOP establishment has the voting machines, but it doesn’t have any voters.

Fox News is not on the side of the GOP voters — but they do rely on them. So they’re caught, and everybody knows it. That’s why Fox wants to strong-arm conservative influencers like D’Souza into letting it appropriate his content on voter fraud — they need to pretend to care for the sake of the audience. Just watch D’Souza’s podcast video again, and listen to what he tells you: Fox News knows that they “can crucify him” and so he has to “stay on the reservation” or he will be banned. Tucker’s executive producer (D’Souza claims) responded to D’Souza’s declining their strong-arm “offer” by telling D’Souza that “he was finished” and that Fox would “teach him a lesson.”

That’s a threat that had teeth before 2020. Now it just sounds like hollow threats from gutless people. The world has changed. The people who are going to get taught a lesson in the next few years are at Fox News.

So...to be clear...Tucker is instructed not to talk about it at all, but he has on the actual woman who did all of the actual investigation explaining why there was fraud?

Yes...he sounds terrible.

If he sucked so bad, why have her on at all? That was an option after all.

Say this part out loud a few times, and see if you can remember even several days that wet by where Tucker didn't tear this group a new a-hole on his show.

It's one thing to speak to her in a single interview. It's another thing to say "if you want to learn more about this in greater detail, there's a movie called 2000 Mules you should check out."

When the three states announced that they would stop counting ballots, that is when I knew the fix was in. Has there been any other time in modern election history where a state stopped counting in the middle of the night for a Presidential election? I've watched the election returns since 1988 and do not recall such an event happening. Anyone who could not see the bullshittery that was occurring right then and there was blind or stupid.

He started the interview saying her wanted to talk to her in a longer form. It was literally the first thing he said directly to her.

If you guys can't see the guy is doing everything he can while still having the platform he does, then there's not much hope for our side because is this guy isn't up to you liking no one is.

Click the link and listen to Dinesh. Reading between the lines here but it sounds like Fox News execs are trying to control the 2020 election fraud narrative. Tucker's producer threatened Dinesh but I question whether or not that threat was generated directly from Tucker. It's probably coming from the Murdoch boy.

IIRC, Nixon had a pretty solid lead over Kennedy when everyone went to bed..

Then woke up and found out Daley and Joe Kennedy swung the Illinois votes to Kennedy

Tucker had the Wendi Strauch from True the Vote on his show. She discussed her work, which is new evidence for what we all already know - the 2020 election was stolen. Why should Tucker promote Dinesh D'Souza new documentary? D'Souza documentaries overpromise and underdeliver. I suspect 2000 mules is no different.
I won't defend war porn promoter Fox News but I don't blame Tucker for declining to promote D'Souza.

I read the passage you quoted, and none of that reads anything like Tucker's show. That said, I watched the movie and think the company that did the research has the goods...or at least most of them.

That said, I've never been a fan of Dinesh so him simply saying some guy threatened him is not going to move me off this position unless he posted the audio.

And if he'd post audio of this exchange, that would be my take as well...that this was coming form higher up. It's clear that there is a glass ceiling that he can;t go through, and this is obvious based on him bashing into it every night and making snide comments about it...but what is he supposed to do? The equivalent of posting porn on Tiger Droppings and just go into some story he's been told he can't do and then have the show pulled off the air minutes in and fired?

Who else in main stream media is doing what he's doing nightly?

Yet employees of FOX News get free air time to promote their books every day. I see a little hypocrisy here.

I'm pretty sure we are on the same page here. The only show I can stand on TV right now is Tucker. I'm just trying to assess the dynamic at Fox News concerning the 2020 election. And I do believe Emerald Robinson is correct. Fox News wants to promote the GOPe brand of big R Republicanism not MAGA but the problem for Fox News is MAGA is their base. The Fox News customer base that likes the GOPe is extremely rare.

Pretty sure Paul Ryan is still on the board. He has a personal vendetta against Trump and would've been all in on the steal as well.

I wonder if D'Souza tried to buy advertising slots on FN.

Curious about this as well since he’s mentioned 2000 mules on about every episode of his podcast I’ve listened to the past 2 weeks
