‘They’re on thin ice’: NY Times reporter reveals Fox News’ perilous position

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters has been in the courtroom watching the Dominion Voting Systems defamation case against Fox News, and he said it’s becoming clear the network’s lawyers “are on thin ice.”

In a debate with the other panelists, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace questioned why Fox News hasn’t settled with Dominion.

Every day, more damaging stuff comes out,” Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said. “How many times do you have to step on a rake before you get hurt? I think they haven’t settled because they’d have to go on the air every 30 minutes and say, ‘We were wrong. The election was not stolen. Go on with your day.’ They are so worried about losing their audience with Newsmax. They’d rather go down with a sinking ship than make those admissions.”

Peters explained that he heard Fox is already focusing on an appeal because they assume they’re going to lose. Meanwhile, Dominion isn’t going to settle without a public apology. Something like that might destroy the network, though.

“That’s where executives are looking because they realize that it’s going to be a tough case for them to win in Delaware,” he explained. “They also — that’s exactly right, this point about having to apologize, Dominion wants not only a lot of money from Fox but they want an apology. They want an acknowledgment from Fox that it was wrong to report what it did about voter fraud and its machines. They are not going to get that absent some major, major change in thinking inside Fox that I’m just unaware of.”

“I’m not even aware of any kind of discussions taking place around that. So this case, I think, is going to be with us for a while. And it’s just the lack of a settlement so far is just one more way that is so extraordinary. You just don’t see cases like this go to trial. You don’t see cases like this where there are reams of damning evidence that points to actual malice in the way that there is in this case, so this one is one for the books.”

‘Godawful mess’ in US has foreign businessmen second-guessing working with Trump: NBC



Donald Trump’s desire to deport immigrants from the U.S. by force is running headlong into his drive to increase foreign investments in the U.S. in the hope that it will improve his dismal job numbers.

Asked about an immigration raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia by agents working for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem that led to a round-up of 475 employees, many of them South Koreans sent to help with the set-up, NBC’s Christine Romans said foreign investors are becoming nervous.

"So talk about the concerns you've heard from South Korean business leaders,“ she was asked on MSNBC.

“Well, it's the collision of two Trump administration policies, right?’ she began. “Aggressive immigration enforcement and then using these trade deals to to get countries to invest more in the United States. Now, are you more likely in South Korea or elsewhere to invest more in the United States? If the 200 people that you've sent over to build the factory, literally, to train the American workers around it.”

“They just said they're the top investor,” MSNBC host Joe Scarborough prompted his guest.

”That's right, that's right and this is what part of the trade policy is to get more countries to send their companies here to build in the United States,” Romans replied. “At the same time, you have this very messy public image that is being broadcast here.”

“It's just these things are at cross purposes,” she elaborated. “What you hear from business leaders, overseas business leaders ,is that the us immigration system is a godawful mess, and that they need better visa pathways for skilled workers to get here. What you hear from MAGA, of course, and from many traditional Republicans as well, is that skilled worker visas take away American jobs, so it's not an easy sell on that end. It's a big mess and this is front and center here.”

MAGA firebrand escalates fight with Ilhan Omar: ‘Needs to be removed from Congress’



MAGA firebrand Laura Loomer escalated her fight with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after the lawmaker discussed a slain conservative activist in a podcast interview on Thursday.

Journalist Mehdi Hasan interviewed Omar on Zeteo News on Thursday. The two condemned Kirk's murder and expressed sympathy for Kirk's widowed family. However, right-wing internet accounts began spinning parts of the interview to make it seem like Omar was happy that Kirk was murdered.

"Right-wing accounts trying to spin a false story when I condemned his murder multiple times is fitting for their agenda to villainize the left to hide from the fact that Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis," Omar posted on X.

MAGA influencer Laura Loomer responded to Omar's post, calling her a "terrorist sympathizer" and "the enemy from within."

"Ilhan Omar needs to be removed from Congress," Loomer posted on X. "How much more damage are we going to allow Muslims to cause our country before we say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH with these invaders coming into our country and terrorizing Americans with their caveman ideology?"
