Chelsea Handler Responds To Tucker Carlson And Other Attacks On Her “Childless Woman” Sketch: “You Guys Seem So Triggered By Me”

In new filings from Dominion Voting Systems, even more messages from Fox hosts were revealed, including ones where Tucker Carlson admitted he hates Donald Trump. And on Wednesday morning’s episode of “The View,” host Sunny Hostin couldn’t help but laugh at the latest developments.The court filings from Dominion Voting Systems were made public on Tuesday as part of their ongoing $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News.

A huge release of text messages, emails and deposition transcripts dropped today in the Dominion vs. Fox litigation sheds further light on the scramble among Fox News personalities and Fox Corp. executives to respond to the backlash in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election and then the repercussions after the attack on the Capitol on January 6th.

The chief of Capitol Police blasted Tucker Carlson’s characterization of the January 6th attack on the Capitol, calling the Fox News host’s conclusions “offensive and misleading.”

Gigi Sohn is withdrawing her nomination to the FCC, after a 16-month battle in which she faced relentless attacks from industry lobbyists and from commentators on the right.

The New York Times examined the response of those networks to the private messages that were made public in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News. According to the NY Times findings, only four publications – Gateway Pundit, Newsmax, the Washington Examiner and the Western Journal – mentioned the suit in some way. However, none of them worked the Fox employees’ private comments into their coverage.

filing earlier this month: That top hosts including Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo were privately horrified that their network was pushing Trump’s “stolen election” narrative – but went on-air with it anyway.“Is there really that much going on at two in the afternoon on Fox News that you can’t cover him live?” the popular “War Room” podcaster asked the crowd. “They don’t respect you, read the depositions.

deposition he gave last month that he knew Fox News Channel was spreading false claims about the 2020 presidential election. Claims that Dominion voting machines were compromised are the basis of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems. Darcy said Murdoch’s deposition will be detrimental to the channel, especially the case goes to trial.“It will be devastating for Fox, I mean this is a taste of what’s to come. Imagine Rupert Murdoch on the stand, Lachlan Murdoch on the stand, Sean Hannity on the stand, Tucker Carlson on the stand,” said Darcy. “This will be weeks and weeks of damning headlines, which could really damage Fox’s brand.

explosive texts from Fox News hosts revealed in February as part of Dominion Voting System’s defamation lawsuit against the network, Hasan Minhaj is still a bit gobsmacked. On Tuesday night, the “Daily Show” guest host joked that, in reality, it seems Fox personalities are more like those on MSNBC.A quick refresher on those messages: in a court filing on Thursday, February 16, Dominion Voting provided texts, emails and other forms of communication between Fox News hosts from after the 2020 election, in which they called out some of the network’s guests for perpetuating unsupported claims that voting was electronically rigged against twice-impeached former president Donald Trump.Among the messages were ones that said things like “Sidney Powell is lying,” sent from Tucker Carlson to his producer Alex Pfeiffer on Nov.

the former president wrote on Truth Social. “There is MASSIVE evidence of voter fraud & irregularities in the 2020 Presidential Election.

filing earlier this month: That top hosts, including Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo were privately horrified that their network was pushing Donald Trump’s “stolen election” narrative – but went ahead with it anyway.“I would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing it in hindsight,” Murdoch told the Superior Court of the state of Delaware, according to the filing.The documents revealed that top executives also reacted with incredulity – bordering on contempt – to various fictitious allegations about Dominion, including that a secret algorithm in its voting machines allowed ballots to be switched, and that the company was founded in Venezuela to help its former president, Hugo Chávez, fix elections.“Executives at all levels of Fox … knowingly opened Fox’s airwaves to false conspiracy theories about Dominion,” the filing states.Murdoch also said in his testimony that it was wrong for Fox hosts to “endorse” lies if they knew them not to be true: “Fox has a role in making sure people can agree on a basic set of facts,” he said last month. “Yes.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Fox Corp. sought to tamp down furor around a series of implicating quotes and texts culled from corporate executives and Fox News anchors, in the newest filing, part of a closely watched defamation lawsuit from voting-technology firm Dominion Voting Systems. Fox Corp. and Fox News Channel made the case in two filings in the Superior Court in Delaware that many of the colorful utterances from Fox News stars such as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity and even some from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch were beyond the scope of Dominion’s case, and urged the court to reject the company’s call for a summary judgement, or a ruling in Dominon’s favor that would negate the need for a trial. Dominion is suing Fox for $1.6 billion in damages it alleges it is owed after Fox News made false claims about the Dominion’s actions and influence on the 2020 election. It is the second legal proceeding made against Fox News for its coverage of the aftermath of the 2020 race for the White House. Smartmatic, a voting technology company, has filed a massive $2.7 billion suit against Fox News. At issue in the suits, are allegations that Fox News falsely claimed the companies had rigged the election, repeated items about the matter and refused to engage in efforts to set the record straight. The 2020 election was not fixed and its results were certified by multiple legal processes.

After learning that House speaker Kevin McCarthy turned over 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from Jan. 6 exclusively to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, “The View” host Sunny Hostin speculated Wednesday that he did so at the behest of one of his congressional coworkers.During Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” the hosts unanimously agreed that turning the footage over to Carlson was “dangerous,” because it both exposes where exactly cameras are within the Capitol, and because “it allows Tucker Carlson to invent his own narrative about what happened.”Host Joy Behar argued that, in all likelihood, Carlson and his team are “going to be cherry-picking it in order to, you know, corroborate however they can their absurd conspiracy theories.” That’s when Hostin wondered aloud if McCarthy is allowing this because it was a promise that got him the job in the first place.“I think — well, I don’t want to guess but, you know, he had to make a lot of concessions to become speaker,” Hostin said.

News broke Monday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Fox News host Tucker Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 of surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol, and Stephen Colbert is very concerned about what message that footage will be used to send.To start with, the “Late Show” host made sure to point out that Carlson himself has cast doubt on the events of Jan.

Carlson took a dig at Colbert, saying the late-night host was scared to tell authentic jokes while congratulating the Fox News late-night show “Gutfeld!” for overtaking Colbert and other shows in ratings, which it in fact did not.Watch the full “Late Show” segment below.The Late Show has acquired Tucker Carlson's alternate narrative of January 6th.

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor How can trees be racist? That’s the question explored in a new documentary, “Racist Trees,” about a historically Black neighborhood called the Crossley tract in Palm Springs, Calif., whose residents suspected a dense row of tall tamarisk trees might have been planted decades ago to segregate them from the adjacent golf course. While putting a close-up on the residents’ campaign to have the messy, view-blocking trees removed, the film deftly explores wider issues, like the troubled racial history of the idyllic resort town, gentrification and generational wealth – all with a light touch that includes plenty of colorful historic footage of swimming pools and movie stars.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reportedly has given Tucker Carlson exclusive access to tens of thousands of hours of surveillance footage from the attack on the Capitol, a move that is drawing concerns among former members of the January 6th Committee that the video will be misused.
