The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

<<That's pre-trial. As bighairymike wrote upthread, Cavuto spent a minute on it at 4 PM ET, otherwise, not so much. Kind of a let down by Dominion but more trials to come.>>

I didn't think it was a let down because:
1) Fox News' $787.5 million settlement with Dominion is the largest publicly known defamation settlement in US history involving a media company. Fox making history!
2) We got to see what some of the folks at Fox really thought and this stuff is priceless!...
Tucker Carlson had some classics,
"I hate him (Trump) passionately."
And "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait." -Tucker Carlson
And "The last four years. We're all pretending we've got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn't really an upside to Trump." -Tucker Carlson
Rupert Murdoch said, "His businesses are now ruined! Who is going to throw a party at one of his golf clubs or hotels? Let alone a tournament. So he has more than just legal problems, bad though they are. The brand is now poison! Who wants Ivanka's fashion lines, jewelry, etc?!"
Hannity said, "I did not believe the election fraud stuff for one second."
Bill Sammon, Fox managing editor, "More than 20 minutes into our flagship evening news broadcast and we're still focused solely on supposed election fraud ' a month after the election.
It's remarkable how weak ratings make journalists do bad things."

Up next the Smartmatic lawsuit which is for $2.7 Billion! Get your popcorn ready!
