Prominent stars and high-ranking executives at Fox News privately ridiculed Trump's 2020 election fraud claims, court documents show

The messages, included in a legal filing as part of Dominion Voting System’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News, showed that Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham brutally mocked lies being pushed by former President Donald Trump’s camp asserting that the election was rigged. In one set of messages revealed in the court filing, Carlson texted Ingraham, saying that Sidney Powell, an attorney who was representing the Trump campaign, was “lying” and that he had “caught her” doing so.

After the election, a furious Trump attacked Fox News and encouraged his followers to switch to Newsmax. And, in the days and weeks after the presidential contest had been called, they did just that. Fox News shed a chunk of its audience while Newsmax gained significant viewership. In multiple instances, Fox News executives and hosts expressed worry over the matter and started to crack down on those at the network who fact-checked election lies.

The bible tells us not to worship false idols.

The price of having no honor.

Yep, even they are entitled to their private opinions, they job however was to provide entertaining news coverage to Trump supporters. As history will prove, he was the victim of untrue allegations from the day he announced he was running!

When are you going to fire Don Lemon

Old white man Joe got more black voted that Obama. Makes perfect sense. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 CNN the fake news leader pushed the fake Russia hoax for 4 years.

Shows the real character of Fox News and its commentators. They pushed Trumps lie to America while simultaneously ridiculing him. They just wanted to make money and didn’t care how they achieved it. Fox and it’s commentators are examples of No integrity, No honesty, No ethics

When God pours out His Spirit on a group of kids, they don't need, holy water, stained glass, disco balls, or an adress to send money to. Thank you God for answering prayers for revival.

Even Trump knows he just made it all up. Alarming what this egomaniac can get people to say and do on his behalf.

More to the truth is rupertmurdoch was referring to 'his own' horseshit and his need to be seen as just that little bit better than the NatEnquirer 🤣

Fox News is just mainstream media.

Fire Don Lemon

At least FOX told the truth in front of the cameras. CNN spent 4 years on Russian collusion knowing it was a hoax then two years hiding hunters laptop.

TRUMP WON!!

How's ratings?

We all know that swampers stole ‘24 election from Trump! We will do what they did in 2024 and will win!!

more lies and propaganda from the biggest liars in the media at cnn! how does it feel to have your ratings in the trash? how long will you keep it there?

Of course. It was fun to annoy liberals.

My list: GA grand jury, most will be charged with perjury. Trump, Rudy Guiliani, Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Boris Ephstyn, Jenna Ellis, Lindsey Graham, Burt Jones, Mark Meadows, Cleta Mitchell, Scott Perry,all the Fake electors who fraudulently signed.

How does Don Lemon still have a job with all the ridiculous and inappropriate things he says?!

So did everyone else. This is not news.

CNN talking FOX … it’s pathetic these people are just obsessed

CNN throwing stones at FOX. That’s funny.

Who knew gay dudes could be sexist?

GAY BLACK PRIVILEGE. that’s all this is. A white straight man would have been fair. He’s not sorry. He’s sorry he got his ass handed to him. CNN GIVE LEMON ANITHER FREE PASS. Explore the Fox News apps that are right for you at

Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave.

EXCLUSIVE: Don Lemon is 'rude, self-righteous and clearly sexist': CNN insider reveals there's 'so much pressure for unpopular host to be canned after his disgusting comment' about GOP's Nikki Haley, 51... as he takes the day off

Their viewers are too stoopid to see that Fox duped them all along! It’s all about maximizing their stock values.🤯 itsacult

You guys are mucking these people. You already have enough defamation law suits lined up.

Maryam Rajavi is not approved by the people of Iran in any way.She is the leader of MEK and has committed many crimes. In the following, we will examine the terrorist crimes of MEKterrorists and IRGCterrorists MahsaAmini

Lemonhead the drama queen is at it again! A no-call no-show is an actual quit. Clean your desk out, Donny!

Anyone with a brain knows how distorted Fox News is.

Most Americans ridicule the Absolute joke BIDEN each and every day!!!!

Meanwhile CNN ratings getting worse

I am sure Gym, Bobo and Marj will want to investigate this collusion between mainstream media and the Trump administration!

It merely demonstrates how little regard Fox News has for its audience.

There's no better news story than a fake story,so Trump was right about fake news;little did he know it applied to him.

A narcissist and an Australian walked into a bar.

THIS IS WHAT DICTATORS DO!

Hey what about the chemical fires?

I still don't believe that old poof got 81 million votes. He couldn't fill up a phone booth anywhere he went.

The fact that we just had another train derailment carrying dangerous chemicals on it but this is what CNN chooses to cover tells you everything you need to know.

Prominent Stars are a conspiracy theory. Let's Just MAGA and ignore the rage stream media shall we?

DO NOT GET DISTRACTED!

MUST WATCH!!!!!! CNBC fox5ny BBCNews denhamtownhighschool Jamaica bullying bully stopbullying BreakingNews

What the “prominent stars” said privately is interesting but what they said in the air could be catastrophic to Fox’s civil suit defense, particularly since they apparently never believed a word of it. Would be hilarious though if Fox intends to lay blame on them.

For this much angry constant coverage your making me think more about why?

Fire Don Lemon!!!

And hunter’s laptop?

If they knew it was false and still promoted the lies on their shows, they all need to never report the news to anyone again. THEY LIED PEOPLE, BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION!

CNN privately drinks the Democratic Kool-Aid

They did it privately. CNN did it publicly every day and aired it 24 hours.

Trump, Trump, Trump! Move on.

TRUMP WON 2020..2000Mules..

Like anyone can't believe in Fox News it's so biased that it's boycotted by most I know

Biased reporting.

👇😡😡👇

See it shows what garbage FoxNews is

I am not distracted from Joe Biden's classified document mess. Impeach Biden now!

RussianCollusionHoax/COUP CONTINUES

Nobody looked up on google about what lemonade Don said. Women are in their prime at 20s and 30s for child bearing! Out of all the news tslking about this why did not a single person look this up and prove lemon aid wrong? Why !!

Dear CNN stop spreading lies! That would be nice!

Name them or shut up.

As bad as that may be, they're also happily laughing that they're not the ones having to work with Don Lemon

What CNN gives a shit about that. Come on look at you. Freak gay guy in the morning.

Don’t know how they sleep at night 🤮

GFY

Of course they did and they still do. Fox is the best performing network of a Dying breed. Hope they enjoy the ride while it lasts

It wasn't Trump that let most people know the el3ction was stolen. Most people figured it out without orange man. It wasn't hard.

Who cares. They pushed them on the network

So the Fox TV Hosts knew the Election Fraud lies they were deliberately spreading to gullible Fox Viewers every day, were really 100% lies? What a shock! feigns shock Even if Tucker Carlson told MAGATs to their faces that he lied to them, they still wouldn't believe it. :/

NeverTrump globalists!!! Who care! Your ratings are still crashing.

Still obsessed with Trump huh?

ElliotEBK Ted Turner is probably so depressed about seeing what these ones have done to his once respected news network. Their viewership totals could fit inside a thimble.

Dude this isn’t news, it’s gossip

It don't say not one talk show host ridiculed Trump, it talks about people in the back of Fox that nobody care about, stop the lies!

Lies

Fox News isn't the bastian of right wing conservatism that many believe it is. Hasn't been for years.

It’s cnn how can this be believed? Idk 🤷‍♀️ bigger q-tips are needed apparently

Their alliance is not to a party but to the elites who are screwing up the world right now.

Good thing you spent the time to get this story out. How will they recover?!?!! Trash

CNN (China News Network) doing all they can to remain relevant by as Trump lives “Rent Free” in their heads! Pathetic

Yeah lot of help that was

Communist News Network

brianstelter But TuckerCarlson is still slinging that BS and firing up his audience 🔥

brianstelter Hope they are held responsible. They are not worthy of being called a News organization if they knowingly spread lies.

Didn't stop them from promoting that bullshit every second they could

I say Harry hursti in his hbo documentary 5 months before the election explain how fraudulent dominion voting systems could be. Funny how not one network asked Harry or even referenced the doc!

Cowards

'Keep em angry' that is the republican way.

Say hello to NickSandmannUS

The news channels turned far too biased to watch years ago. Having this new information, would be interesting to watch how they actually covered the issue. Sad that so many bought into the egomaniacal spectacle and certain media actors pandered to the mania.

don’t you dumass americans know you are being played by cnn and fox?

First gas, than prices of eggs now The Biden Administration's blowing up trains,they'll do anything, absolutely anything to keep us down. Show them fools it won't work. IMPEACHBIDENNOW

It was a ginger mint... there was a water main break....... 😂 Yup ... nothing to see here.... check the fact checkers...no fraud....Dems cheated in 16 and came up a little short... hence the most votes in history for a guy with 35 people at his campaign events in 20 ..yyuuupppp!

I mean I’ve always known they were fake , but it’s great to see some proof .

They’re called Faux News for a reason.

Everyone in the WORLD knows that election was fake Just like everyone knows who blew up the pipelines

Well that's why I hated the gerrymandering because I didn't want any of the entrapment happening because that's why everyone kept hating on the FBI including the agents

Whaaa?!

This is CNN’s “Breaking News” feed? CNN is officially a gossip tabloid.

Just so Don Lemon and everyone else in the world know, he is PAST HIS PRIME!!

Hosts Tucker Carlson , Sean Hannity ,Laura Ingraham and others repeatedly mocked and insulted Trump's advisers .

Poor CNN. Bad ratings and always talking about Trump . East Palestine matters. It's an ecological disaster.

Than they all went on tv and pushed the bull 💩 story trying to help trump

Fox stars privately expressed disbelief about Trump's election fraud claims .

Trump Trump Trump…CNN has convicted Trump, said he was a puppet for Putin and numerous other unproven bogus BS claims.

Will FoxNews be replacing their prime time lineup with Gilligan’s Island reruns? Just asking the question. Will they be able to afford syndication fees? Just asking. We need to ask these questions.

😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This shows how pathetic Fox News is, and really IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE CALLED A NEWS CHANNEL. Fox News is pro radical republican propaganda with the agenda of the owner getting pushed on America. It’s not worth watching.

They’re all laughing at you. Yes, you, the viewers!

and meanwhile NHS

They are pure scum! Not surprised!

Fox fake news strikes again

yes still they pushed it on air continually and were part of the attempted coup

Reminds of when Kandiss Taylor only got 3% of the votes and claimed it was because of election fraud.

Sadly, the Trump cultists will dismiss any of this.

Under law fox can lie their constitutional rights Freedom of speech damn

Don't listen to anybody from Hollywood! They are the enemy of the American people. They all work for Palpatine!

The election was STOLEN! It's amazing how democrats can find just enough votes to win. Just keep making up votes.

Tucker was just asking questions like he always does. No insinuation involved.

It just shows you how much disregard and disrespect Fox News has for their viewers.

Who the F**k cares, we are not stupid, they are lying liars…we know that captain obvious.

FOX more worried about viewership than facts. This is immoral, unethical, and disgusting. I hope this network goes down in flames

All the more reason not to watch fox

Fox News knew there was no election fraud, but pushed the lies to increase ratings-they should lose the lawsuits and face prison just like tRump; they were in on the grift

fakenews NEWSMAX FoxNews

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Everyone laughs at how pathetic Trump is, even if they pretend to like him on camera. Fact.

Just a reminder, the midnight show on Fox News has more viewers than the highest rated CNN program in the line-up

Just wow.. I mean wowowow.. like unbelievable.. like OMG, so newsworthy

That’s a story?

Duh! No one believed the big lie.

Privately, as in scared to speak the truth.

Meanwhile cnn pushed, and apparently completely accepted as fact, false claims of Russian collusion. It’s a bipartisan clown show

How may times did rupertmurdoch mess his pants today?

and this is news?

Child. Talking about the clown 🤡 behind his back. 😂
