Friend,  

Fox News settled to the tune of nearly $800 million. Yep, that was the price Murdoch was willing to pay to keep his gaggle of liars off of the deposition stand and firmly sealed inside their misinformation bubble.

I’m as disappointed as you are that we didn’t get a trial, and Fox didn’t get publicly crucified for sowing one of the most dangerous lies in American history.

But I need you to understand this: Fox didn’t get away with anything. The Lincoln Project and the pro-democracy army we built are still going to go after Fox with everything we’ve got.

We have to pick up the mantle. We have to continue the fight. Support the work we’re doing here at The Lincoln Project. 

First and foremost, that means continuing to drop our truth bombs behind enemy lines and right into the gears of the misinformation machine at Fox. 

Case and point with our ad “Fox Knew.” Way before the Dominion lawsuit went to court, we called out the fact that Fox knew they were making up bogus claims about election fraud. 

And when we got word that our targeted ads were getting play time inside the walls of the Fox HQ, it was clear that we were making up ground in this fight. 

Now, we’re not expecting Tucker Carlson to sing our song on Fox tonight (he’s too busy going down weird alt-right rabbit holes with Elon Musk in his 35-part interview series anyway). 

But it’s about continuing to hit them hard and never giving up the message war. People inside Fox have flipped before. And as long as we continue to launch truth bombs, we can continue to put that “news” network on the defensive.

I can make the exact same point with Trump and his legal troubles too (emphasis on the plural here in troubles). 

Trump’s presidential campaign isn’t going to end in the court system. It’s going to end when we defeat him again at the ballot box. 

So, Friend, don’t despair over the Dominion settlement. Just understand that you and every pro-democracy American are the only antidotes to Trump and Fox. 

We’re going to keep up our campaign against Fox and then we’re going to banish Trump from our politics for good.

The courts won’t do the job. It’s up to the work we do together. And I’d appreciate it if you could help sustain that work today.
