eastman. one day after, january 7th, eastman was still talk at trying the get some way to overthrow then president-elect biden s incoming administration, preserving information out of georgia. this is the new testimony. eastman i don t remember why he called me, or he texted me or called me, wanted to talk with me, and he said he couldn t reach others. and he started to ask me about something dealing with georgia, preserving something potentially for appeal. and i said to him, are you out of your eff ing find? i said, i only want to hear two words coming out of your mouth from now on orderly transition. i said i don t want to hear any other eff ing words come out of your mouth other than orderly transition. repeat your words to me. what did he say? eventually he said orderly transition. i said, good, john. now i m going to give you the best free legal advice you re ever getting in your life. get a great criminal defense lawyer. you re going to need it. and then i hu
fox went further. it put the censorship goal above not only news but profits. it picked that one and only night of hearing to forego its lucrative primetime ads. that was an attempt to keep all their viewers glued, because us a may know if you watch television, sometimes viewers, you guys sometimes check what s on other channels during our commercials. i get it. but the network was so committed to trying to prevent people from seeing the hearings. it was not that the hearings were boring or unconvincing. it was more like a fear the hearings would resonate with the viewer as important and factual. here s how gene robinson put it. the big lie business is so big with fox that it s apparently worth primetime revenue. it s not like fox hosts would be
so gauched to admit they were censoring the news, that they are beings bied and just catering to their audience. it s not like you re going to find a fox host telling on themselves, unless you watch laura ingram. they re all general set that fox isn t covering it live. we actually do something called cater to our audience. our audience knows what this is. i m joined now by sam cedar, host of the majority report . as we buckle up that with an admission, in court what s called an admission of interest, how about that, sam? that s a whoops. i don t know that she meant to say that. i m not sure i fully believe it s them wanting to meet the expectation of their audience. i believe there was a certain amount of fear associated with that. i think the backlash that they got when they called the election and that final state
going to fit in a break. when we come back, fox news owning itself in his sensorship of these hearings, stay with us. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depression. i just couldn t find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark place. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. call your doctor about sudden behavior changes or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report fever, confusion, stiff or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be life threatening or permanent. these aren t all the serious side effects. now i m back where i belong. ask your doctor if latuda is right for you. pay as little as zero dollars for your first prescription. if you ve been living
their 2020 election coverage was so biassed and often wrong that it now faces more than one billion dollars lawsuit over its coverage of issues like voting machines and, although we will cover how those cases are ultimately resolved, fox is pulling back. they ve already done on-air retractions under that legal heat, so not a normal debate. something, according to the courts and lawsuit and their own retragss, something worse. while it s common for people to claim these days nothing matters and all the pressure s pointless, these hearings are testing fox s relationship with the insurrection and election in interesting ways. fox broke with all other news divisions to censor coverage of the first hearing, going full cancel culture other than show viewers their hearing where they might have viewers make up their own mind.
