genesis of fox news. fox news started 25 years ago and in my view there's a direct line from the start of fox news to where we are today. fox news was once considered a conservative rational actor in this. once considered, but over the last decade, what they've done, and how they've conducted themselves, in my view has poisoned the soul of democracy and poisoned the soil of democracy in such a way it gave rise to somebody like donald trump doing the things he's done, given rise to people like ted kruz, senator holly, lauren bobert and marjorie taylor green, i mean i don't take accountability away from voters, but voters, if they've been lied to for two decades which just happened with fox news and this is the latest damaging example of it, that's, to me, the crisis of america today. because if you can't depend on a common set of facts and truth, you no longer have a democracy, if you don't have a population that can get to the truth or can get to what the facts are in this instance and we have not half, b

what is your take on fox news? >> absolutely, i think this makes a mockery out of their original mantra fair and balanced they started out with 25 years ago. like se said, chris wallace and bret baier and shepard smith certainly, gave them the opportunity to say, look, we have a even side. we challenge conservatives. chris wallace almost every week, he had access to republican insiders and he challenged them regularly. that was a service for all of us, frankly, because other media outlets don't always have access to some of these republican figures and chris wallace give he them a hard time. this is like adam kinzinger, liz cheney moment for the republican party. is there a place for moderates? is there a place for people who will question the trumpist status quo? he may have other reasons for moving on. like he said, he's been doing this for 18 years. i hope he finds incredible happiness for what he does. you have to wonder if the right rift in fox the last few years played a part in this. >> can i say -- i don't

it came out of the conservative news outlets, night after night on fox news, discrediting vaccines. it came from a cultivated group of contrarian intellectuals or pseudo intellectuals coming out of the far right think tank who weave this false narrative about vaccines and other covid prevention measures. this was deliberate anti-science aggression and out of authoritarian rule. >> elie, brazil's senate has voted to recommend charges against their president for crimes against humanity for his handling of the coronavirus or mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic. i mean, i'm not saying democrats should be calling for trump to be sent to geneva or wherever it is but i do wonder why the democrats have not talked more about trump's responsibility for a massive death toll. they are up against a party who went on and on about a handful of tragic deaths in benghazi versus 800,000 dead many of whom died on trump's watch many because of donald trump. >> look, he don't usually defend democrats. but they did try to impeach him twice. they successfully impeached him twice. not for covid. maybe

mala rivera fox news. georgia democrat stacey abrams is officially running for governor , setting up a possible rematch with current gop governor brian kemp. abrams ran for governor in 2000 and 18, losing to camp by 1.4 points in one of the most narrowly decided races for governor that year. abrams performance and activism convinced joe biden to invest heavily in the state in 2020, and he became the first democratic president to win georgia since 1992. the 2022 governor's race will test whether those gains were one time phenomenon or mark the beginning of a political shift in the south. the city of san francisco is planning to pay $2 million to have family to settle a wrongful death lawsuit on the board of supervisors last night approving that settlement. the lawsuit was filed after a 67 year old woman was hit by a department of public works truck. last year at the intersection of geary and taylor streets, according to the suit. she was in the crosswalk when the truck made an unsafe left turn. supervisors

fox news knows what viewers want. they know fox viewers are still behind donald trump for the most part. this is a $3 billion business when you look at advertising subscriptions. >> right. >> it's fox's 25th anniversary this year. they're celebrating being number one not just in news but all of cable. i think that's important to remember, that fox news is an incredibly powerful outlet when it comes to giving viewers what they want to hear, entertainment as well as what they produce in the daytime. and so this is -- what happened on january 6th created reputational damage not just for fox news hosts but for everybody associated with donald trump at that time. >> that's the thing though about the business, i was going to come and say, was this their worst week ever? i could easily make the argument this was fox's first week, losing chris wallace to cnn and having this defamation lawsuit moving forward and having to delete an anti-semitic cartoon from their instagram because they didn't catch it in time, it's been a stri

fox news this, fox news that, i think this investigation changed as far as what the public knows about it. what has always been missing about january 67th is what was going on at the white house during those hours? what was happening? now, we have a road map of at least the incoming messages here. >> and a damning portrait, i think, of a lot of inaction, right? we have someone who is occupying one of the highest positions in the white house, getting a deluge of incoming messages from people who are sheltering in place in congress saying, "please, please help me." we have a president who essentially failed to call the fire department after lighting a match that set this entire fire. and the damning portrait of inaction, i think, is what they need to flush out a little bit. because we're getting the one side of the conversation, which is, "please, please stop this." what was he saying in response? we know from so much great reporting out there that he was enjoying the spectacle on television he was watching unfold that day, but we need more information now. we just have that little slive

yamiche: go call meadows is also what fox news hosts were doing. to me, it's interesting because it reveals what fox news hosts were saying at the time and saying privately. what does this reveal for you when you look at the text messages and what they said out loud? ashley: a couple of things. first of all, these fox news hosts, they viewed themselves as on the same team as the trump white house, not as journalists covering it, but as advocates. also, what was more shocking than that, because if you watch some of those shows, that's a fair impression to come away with. what was shocking was how quickly the whitewashing began. we had fox news hosts who, in the context of the text, very clear saying your supporters are being violent. that is the subtext of those text. and you, mr. president, are the only ones who can call them off. despite knowing that and saying that privately, in public, sometimes as soon as hours later, they are saying something incredibly different, that it was aunt eva. it was the left -- antifa. it was the left. it was bad act

>> it tells you the central role that fox news played throughout the trump presidency. it tells you that they don't see any distinction between advising the president and championing his reputation, is standing, his aims, and goals from their own supposedly journalistic endeavors. they may be opinion hosts, but if you work for a news organization, you are supposed to acknowledge facts that go contrary to your rooting interest. they seem to have done none of that. and it also tells you that they know. they knew that this was a problem. they knew this was serious. they knew this represented a crisis, a violent challenge to the peaceful transfer of power that was supposed to be ceremonially certified that day. it tells you they were nonetheless willing to say something quite different to the viewers who rely on them on a daily basis. tells you they don't see their loyalty to the truth. they don't see their loyalty to their viewers' need to understand the facts as they are, but to perhaps serve their appetites in a political rooting. it is a very different journalistic miss

fox news is a closed society. they do not have anyone on fox who disagrees with them. none of these people venture into the public square to have actual debates. so they lie without consequence. and they've done it for years. and it's just gotten more and more extreme. so this is the one time we get an unfiltered view into fox, and what do we find out? they're all raging hypocrites. and trust me, this is the tip of the iceberg. if anyone thinks hannity, ingraham and kilmeade only texted mark meadows on january 6th, that's just not true. they all know trump doesn't read e-mails or texts. so they got out their white house contacts. they were texting everybody at the white house, i guarantee you. fox is a cancer on this country. it has been for years. and this is really one of the most despicable examples that we've ever seen. and to your point, they're absolutely boxed in. but they don't care. they know they can lie to their viewers. their viewers expect to be lied to. and so this is their cushion that they've always had. but they hate being exposed like this. fox news h
