Not just 5 years. They were lead cheerleaders for the 2003 Iraq War.
At least Rupert Murdoch's son James has split from the family media interests and spoken out:

Additionally, divisiveness is not inherently bad - or, at least, it’s often better than the alternative. The American Civil Rights Movement was extremely divisive, for example.
> Smartmatic accused Rupert Murdoch’s network of promoting a false narrative about the 2020 election I can't wait to see the evidence. That'll prove that the devices are auditable. They are, right? If anyone in government really wants to have a notable legacy, here's how: petition the USDS to create an integrated open-source election system, and get people like Matt Blaze and Harri Hursti to run a red team against it…
What makes you think people will accept The One True Machine from the feds is any better?

An important part of elections is for people to understand and trust the process. Paper is easy to understand; you and a bunch of your neighbors counting paper votes is easy to trust. Maybe mix in a machine to speed up the process that is also verified by hand.
Yet I can't help but think nothing will convince those who so easily believe in a vast conspiracy to alter election results spanning multiple states with different political leanings and cultures.

Wanting people to be less shit to each other - and to the rest of nature - is not the same as advocating for the right of the rich to shit on everyone else.
There must be repercussions for lies. There must be. It's not a free speech issue.
Also, Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine so it doesn't really matter. Basically Fox is free to lie as much as they like and it's perfectly legal because some politicians found it to be beneficial.

Any time a Fox News host is pressed about their lies they fall back to the "nobody would believe these obvious lies" defense, and it works. Accountability is dead.
