Sean Hannity admits in court that he never believed The Big Lie

Trump has a fragile ego and couldn't accept the fact that he lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden. For 2 years he has claimed that it was "rigged and stolen" and that there was widespread fraud. There wasn't. There hasn't been a shred of proof to demonstrate that and Trump's 60+ lawsuits were thrown out of court for being baseless. FOX News gets ratings by playing to the MAGA crowd, though, so the big 3 (Tucker, Ingraham, and Hannity) pushed The Big Lie and regularly hosted guests like Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Alina Habba, Mike Lindell, etc. The "news" network wound up as part of a $1 billion dollar lawsuit from Dominion which manufactures voting machines. Sean Hannity was deposed in August and straight up said that he didn't believe Trump's claims of election fraud. Straight up he said: "I did not believe it for one second." He had no problem pushing that garbage on his show to stay in Trump's good favor and to get ratings but at least he was smart enough not to lie under oath. FOX News and its principals regularly use the defense that it is an "entertainment" network and that they can't be held liable if viewers believe what their presenters say. This is just one more piece of evidence that what people on that network say is trash and should not be believed.
