Fox News’ Lack of Self-Awareness in Coverage of NBC News Drama

**Donald Trump’s Lies: A Threat to Democracy**

– Ronna McDaniel, former chair of the Republican National Committee, promoted Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election and even participated in a phone call during which Trump tried to overturn the election results in Michigan.
– McDaniel advised election canvassers not to sign paperwork to certify the election results, promising to get them attorneys if they complied.
– Fox News hosts and guests promoted the claim that a voting machine company rigged the election, leading to a defamation settlement of $787.5 million.
– Trump’s false claims of election fraud inspired an insurrection at the Capitol, yet Fox News continued to support him out of fear of alienating his loyal followers.

**The Threat to Democracy:**

Donald Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy by undermining the integrity of elections and eroding public trust in the electoral process. His willingness to spread falsehoods and incite violence in pursuit of his own interests jeopardizes the very foundation of our democratic system.
