Bette Dangerous - Where Propaganda Goes To Die

Those of you who read my Byline Supplement memoir, Confessions of a Fox Blonde, know that in the before times, the local affiliates had some autonomy from the national beast - which as I wrote is now a fully engaged weapon of mass democratic destruction. 

That’s not just one girl’s opinion. The Dominion lawsuit court documents are dropping bombs all over the network and no one who works in the belly of the beast can avoid being hit.

Dominion is suing Fox for defamation, seeking $1.6 billion in damages, alleging the network knowingly aired false information.
