To the Editor:

Dominion Voting machines is suing Fox News over election lies. In the court filings (affidavits) text messages between Fox anchors were produced as evidence.

These court filings are a matter of public record. In one of the text messages between Tucker Carlson and Ingraham, Carlson said that Sidney Powell who was representing Donald Trump was lying, and that he had caught her.

To which, Ingraham replied that Sidney Powell was a complete nut and that no one would work with her, and then said “Ditto about Giuliani.”

The legal filing underscored that Fox News was worried about losing viewership to Newsmax so they kept the lies coming, even though Rupert Murdoch floated the idea of having Hannity, Carlson and Ingraham appear together to dispel the myth that Trump had won, fearing harm to the country.

But when they realized that it meant harm to their pocket book, they decided against it.

This is pretty damning.

A tale for how we almost lost our democracy, and how we may still without responsible journalism. Remember anyone can lie on the air, or in a rally, or in a campaign speech.

In a court of law, a lawyer cannot lie without risk of disbarment. Few will risk their career to lie for Trump. That’s where the rubber hits the road, and that is why their was no evidence of election fraud brought forth because there was no election fraud. Fox News knew it, and communicated that to each other.

Sallie, after your error filled post in the newspaper about Biden's "regime" launching the Chinese balloon you are no longer relevant, to anyone.

Bill Bumby

Did you happen to check her source for her balloon story? In the “About us”, Real Raw News and Micheal Baxter issue a disclaimer stating that they are “humor, parody and satire”. Once again, she’s been duped

Michael Shohoney

Sallie,

What no apology for posting satire to support your position!?

Michael Shohoney

After getting caught being duped by a satirical web site, crickets from Sallie. Hmmmm.

The Democrat-media complex knowingly lied for years about Trump-Russia collusion.

Here’s 24 minutes of Democrats denying election results:

Whoa... Whoa... Whoa... Hey now... Are you implying that Fox News... lied??? This can't be so... There is just no way this is true... No way those latte sippin', tree huggin' libruls were right all of these years. No. Way. I won't have it. So I suppose you're also saying the impossible, that all of these other alt-right traitors like OAN, Breitbart, Red State, NewsMax, Daily Caller, Daily Mail, Daily Wire, Federalist, Blaze, The National Review, *whew* among so many others who pedal the same fear, hatred, and slander as Faux News are just as traitorous as well??? Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, that just makes me madder than a wet hen! The harder part of all of this is convincing those who've been duped for the past 3 decades that they were, in fact, duped, even with the evidence staring them right in the face.

Michael Shohoney

Sallie. Stop it! Whataboutism does not make it right. These are facts! Accept the loss and the lies. You needn't try to act like the left was even CLOSE to the cesspool the right spews!

Joellyn Jaeger

After Sallie's post in the GL Newspaper saying that Biden's "regime" launched the Chinese balloon that was shot down, she is not a relevant source about anything to anyone. She should be completely ignored by any human that has any functioning brain matter whatsoever.

Michael Shohoney

The fact that the Berlin/Green Lake paper prints every piece of drivel she writes lost them my subscription dollars.

Helmer gives AI meaning. Nothing original. Before the Internet we had copy machines. With the Internet we have people lacking in original thought..

Bill Bumby

I hope Dominion bankrupts Fox News and turns that network into a 24/7 Easy Listening Jazz station
