Dem Rep. Pallone Says Congress Needs to Hold Hearings on the Dangers of ‘Right-Wing Media’ Like Fox News, Not NPR

EXCERPT:

PALLONE: “Why aren't we having a hearing about conservative media and their efforts to stifle alternative views? Just last year, Fox News paid over $787 million to settle a defamation lawsuit efforts anchors repeatedly and knowingly lied on air about Dominions voting machines. Its owner even admitted under oath that those lies were to help Donald Trump overturn the election he lost. Fox News, One America News, Sinclair, and Breitbart are all examples of media organizations that air bias false, harmful and damaging content. Public cynicism about the media doesn't come from NPR, it comes from the right-wing media. This hearing is particularly worrisome because we have a Republican candidate for president who spends a good amount of his time peddling unfounded attacks on the media and the freedom of the press.”
