The propaganda outlet is trying to strong arm Media Matters because it’s releasing videos of Tucker’s vile behavior on set but off-camera–greeted with sycophantic titters by his production crew.
Media Matters tells Newsweek:
“Reporting on newsworthy leaked material is a cornerstone of journalism. For Fox to argue otherwise is absurd and further dispels any pretense that they’re a news operation,” Perhaps if I tell them that the footage came from a combination of WikiLeaks and Hunter Biden’s laptop, it will alleviate their concerns.”
This suit will go nowhere, just like Lachlan’s pathetic suit against Crikey that he had to retract.
Nevertheless, it’s clear: the Murdochs are an existential threat to journalism as well as democracy.
