Master and servant

How the sausage is made within Rupert Murdoch’s Pravda:
On the afternoon of Election Day, Hannity texted Meadows at 1:36 p.m. to ask about turnout in North Carolina. Two hours later, Meadows responded: “Stress every vote matters. Get out and vote. On radio.”
“Yes sir,” Hannity replied. “On it. Any place in particular we need a push.” “Pennsylvania. NC AZ,” Meadows wrote, adding: “Nevada.”
“Got it. Everywhere,” Hannity said.The texts also show the two men debating Trump’s strategy to challenge the election, complaining about Fox, and plotting about what to do after Trump left office — including possibly working together. “You also need to spend at least half your time doing business with us,” Hannity texted Meadows on December 12. “And I’m serious. Did u ever talk to Fox. I’ve been at war with them.”
Yes sir!
Admittedly, Hannity is a pathetic clown nobody could possibly think has any integrity or self-respect, but it’s not like the Fox personalities still treated as actual journalists are any better:
Maria Bartiromo, in particular, asked Meadows to “Pls make sure he doesn’t go off on tangents” during a planned interview. She also supplied him with a list of questions and, in one instance, the answer:
Hi the public wants to know he will fight this. They want to hear a path to victory. & he’s in control,” Bartiromo texted at 9:21 a.m. “1Q You’ve said MANY TIMES THIS ELECTION IS RIGGED… And the facts are on your side. Let’s start there. What are the facts? Characterize what took place here. Then I will drill down on the fraud including the statistical impossibilities of Biden magic (federalist). Pls make sure he doesn’t go off on tangents. We want to know he is strong he is a fighter & he will win. This is no longer about him. This is about ????. I will ask him about big tech & media influencing ejection as well Toward end I’ll get to GA runoffs & then vaccines.
The question that contains the answer is, “Then I will drill down on the fraud including the statistical impossibilities of Biden magic (federalist).” Bartiromo is referring charges on the right that Joe Biden’s victory was some kind of statistical anomaly, and “(federalist)” likely refers to an article published by the Federalist, a right-wing publication, a few days earlier, headlined “5 More Ways Joe Biden Magically Outperformed Election Norms.”
The article’s reasoning is extremely poor, but what is most interesting about the exchange is not that Bartiromo believed the article’s bizarre claims, but that she felt the need to feed Trump a source to answer her queries about supposed election fraud.
That is how you journamalism! And needless to say when it comes to showing How to Be a Hack Howie Kurtz may be mostly forgotten but he’s still the master:
Amazing.
The story isn’t the bombshell revelations in the leaks about Fox News personalities working with/for the Trump White House.
It’s that the leaks happened and the *committee* is discredited. pic.twitter.com/ZXYdz5OIVZ— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) April 29, 2022
To be Scrupulously Fair, Fox has always had a principled opposition to leaks coming from House committees.
