The Smartech and Dominion lawsuits against Fox, along with Dobbs making the voting machine allegations got him fired.









Trap was set. It's coming. :ph34r:

Everything Trump touches and everyone who supports Trump , eventually dies , gets jailed or is just diminished if they are lucky . Dobbs just another in a long list of casualties.

When do we get to see the Dominion source code to make a judgement for ourselves? I could write a couple lines of code to invalidate millions of legit lines dedicated to a voting system. There could even be trivial error scenarios that throw out votes. Who knows what mess is in there. I've spent years digging through huge corporate code bases, they are nasty bug pits.

Seems reasonable to open-source it for transparency.

I get that its easy for you to accept a result you like, but it is important that all of us trust the result. Dominion software is proprietary, pay to use. We should be using something open source and free. That eliminates 2 conflicts of interest, and open-source can be argued as more stable and less buggy, although prone to more advanced exploits sometimes.

You only had an issue with Dominion when Trump didn't win. Move on.


In other news,.

Fox News has been the top-rated cable network in primetime since July 2016, when, not coincidentally, Donald Trump became the Republican Presidential candidate. December 2020, marked the 54th consecutive month of being cable’s top-rated network. The streak ended the following month. In addition, the streak as the most watched cable news network also ended. In January 2021, CNN was the top-rated cable news network and cable network overall in primetime. MSNBC also averaged more viewers in January 2021 than Fox News. The last time Fox News ranked third among cable news networks in primetime for an entire month was September 1999.


Furthermore, in January 2021, for the total day (M-Sun 6 a.m to 6 a.m.), Fox News with an average audience of 1.3 million viewers, lagged behind CNN with 1.9 million viewers and MSNBC at 1.6 million viewers. The last time Fox News ranked third in total day viewers for a full month was April 2020.

On the two most newsworthy days of January 2021, the audience of Fox News fell behind their cable news rivals. On the day of the insurrection of the U.S. Capitol, January 6, 2021, CNN led all cable news networks averaging 5.9 million viewers (the networks most watched day ever), MSNBC averaged 4.5 million viewers. Fox News averaged 3.4 million viewers. Fox News finished third in audience on the following two days as well.


On Inauguration Day (January 20), Fox News averaged 2.2 million viewers for its daytime coverage (11 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET) and 2.7 million for President Joe Biden’s address. Four years earlier, when then President Donald Trump was inaugurated, Fox News averaged 8.8 million viewers for the day and 11.8 million for the inaugural address. By comparison, CNN’s five-hour daytime coverage of the Biden inauguration averaged 7.9 million viewers and MSNBC averaged 5.3 million viewers. During Biden’s inauguration speech CNN averaged 10 million viewers and MSNBC 6.5 million.

Besides the relentless news cycle, another reason for the decline in the audience of Fox News was Donald Trump. On Election night Fox News (correctly) declared Biden had won Arizona, ahead of other news organizations, angering Donald Trump. Throughout his Presidency Trump had supported Fox News on Twitter. After Election Day however, Trump urged his Twitter followers to watch right-wing cable rivals Newsmax or OAN instead of Fox News. After an initial ratings surge, the audience for Newsmax has not increased substantially since Election Day (OAN is not measured by Nielsen

Open source replicable trade secrets? The hardware is trivial by comparison I'm sure.
