SEAN HANNITY NEVER BELIEVED "FOR A SECOND" ELECTION MACHINES WERE RIGGED ACCORDING TO DEPOSITION


Fox News Personality Sean Hannity

Fox News,
the largest TV news network in the United States, has consistantly pushed the narrative that the 2020 election was rigged.

The conspiracy pushed by Fox News involved machinery manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems, machines Sean Hannity and others at Fox News claimed ran an algorithm that switched votes for Trump to Biden.

Now, the New York Times has reported that Sean Hannity, under deposition for the trial involving Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News, claims he never believed the conspiracy theory "for a second."

The Times reported that other Fox News reporters have testified similarly, that they never actually believed the lie they were pushing on the American public.

Of course, Fox News solidly backed a con man for president in 2016 and 2020, so it may seem logical that they would push the Trump conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was rigged and finger Dominion Voting Systems.

Did not Fox News have an obligation to its viewers and the American public to correct this bit of misinformation, especially since they clearly knew it to be false?

Some Who Believed the Lie Spread by Trump and Fox News

Millions of American voters, many now in jail cells, believed "for a second" the lies promulgated by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News.

I'm pretty certain local Republicans Tad Hasse and Maggie Ozuna believed the misinformation Fox News was putting out.

One can understand a news outlet unintentionally putting out incorrect information, then, at the earliest opportunity, making the correction, but that's not what happened here.
