This story is bigger than dead fish, alien balloons and nuclear precipice combined.

The Dominion versus Fox Lawsuit.

Once more, a multi-faceted story is reduced to a tagline--and not even an accurate tagline--"There is no such thing as election fraud."  That is the mainstream takeaway.

Excuse me, there is a second tagline. "Fox News lies." Yes, Fox News is dishonest to the core, but not for the reasons cited by MSM. Fox News is threading a haystack of needles. They have to support their "alternative news" branding as they slavishly endorse the mainstream agenda. They do an Et Tu Brute on Trump (and his supporters) all the while pretending there is no blood on their hands. They feel the need to destroy the Trump presidency (as well as the will of the people) as they pretend to support Trump's professed values. They have to smear, if not discredit, anyone who had supporting evidence of election fraud in a way that does not alienate their viewers. They have to fire Lou Dobbs for discussing election fraud without revealing that they fired Lou Dobbs for discussing election fraud. The talking heads are forced to disguise their motives in such a way that it does not prompt millions of cable subscribers to cut the cord when the sole station that justified the pricey subscription--the one reason for paying a monthly ransom to Comcast--spits directly in their faces. And they have to thread these needles without shedding viewers to Newsmax.

The ever-catty mark Dice is one of the few pundits to examine this story.

Dice reveals the most significant aspect to this saga: Internal Dominion documents reveal an ongoing concern for the security of their system. Dice also serves up a montage featuring vintage pre-November 2020  Democrats  warning us of the threats presented by flawed voting machines. Yet another facet of the story is that it is being told by Snidely Mark Dice..

Dice grossly misstates Powell's assertions and calls her "a kook." This editor is not certain that Powell is a kook, but he is certain that Dice is a buffoon and a shill, who makes Tucker Carlson look great by comparison.
