“There has been a nonstop avalanche of embarrassing revelations in the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News, including particularly damning texts from host Tucker Carlson. Carlson, an ardent on-air election denier and Trump supporter, wrote in private shortly after the 2020 election: ‘We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.’
Look, I know he was never going to say that on camera, but it would’ve been so fun to see Tucker after the election being honest on TV like a shellshocked basketball coach giving a post-game press conference after losing by 50 points. It’s such a stunning admission that undercuts the entire premise of the Trump presidency and the devil’s bargain the conservative movement has made with him. It exposes their entire project as a sham and a fraud.
They debased themselves for a guy they were personally disgusted by and at the end of it they admitted they had nothing to show for it. It was all a lie and they all knew it, and now it’s all coming out. One message from host Maria Bartiromo, who said ‘to be honest, our audience doesn’t want to hear about a peaceful transition’. That’s the key right there. That explains it all. Fox’s audience doesn’t want to hear the truth, so Fox chose not to tell them. Fox News doesn’t deliver the news, they take requests and do their best to fulfill them. They’re basically overpaid wedding DJs.” —Seth Meyers

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
