MSNBC host Ali Velshi praises foreign dictatorships for their access ... (Fox News)

MSNBC's Ali Velshi credited foreign dictatorships for their abortion policies, suggesting that America is “not truly a free country,” because states decide ...

As he concluded his show, he suggested the Supreme Court’s most recent session had been a "reign of terror" with "a string of decisions that will leave this country battered and bruised for years to come." "It does not matter if abortion is allowed in some states, if it is prohibited and even just one, that America is not truly a free country. Wade it is tough to characterize the legal status of abortion in America because it now varies wildly state-to-state," he said. "This is where America falls, somewhere in between Sweden and Sierra Leone, somewhere between a full ban and fully legal, that is because since the reversal of Roe v. Now there are varying limits on how far along the pregnancy is, but for the most part if you want an abortion in any of these places in green, you can get it." The MSNBC host mentioned how some countries have certain restrictions when women can get abortion but failed to mention how they were more restrictive than the United States prior to the Court overturning Roe. For example, Ireland and German ban abortion in most instances after 12 weeks.

Dinesh D'Souza Is at War With Fox News, Except When He's ... (Daily Beast)

After publicly griping that the conservative cable giant wouldn't publicize his election-denying propaganda film 2,000 Mules, which had been roundly discredited ...

D’Souza did not respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment. He continued: “The fact that all of these Facebook pages use UTM codes when posting Conservative Brief links strongly suggests that Conservative Brief is paying for traffic. With D’Souza continuing his anti-Fox campaign—he recently praised pro-Trump gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake for bringing up 2,000 Mules in an unhinged Fox News interview, for instance—why is he sharing over-the-top pro-Fox articles from a no-name clickbait website? The sycophantic praise for Carlson’s ratings especially stands out given D’Souza’s overt criticism of the Fox News star, which eventually prompted his public beefing with the network. “Fox News is on a roll!” D’Souza added a day later in another post that was shared repeatedly across all three of his social media accounts. Dinesh D’Souza has been on the outs with Fox News for months.

Fox and friends confront billion-dollar US lawsuits over election ... (The Guardian)

Rightwing networks Fox News, OAN and Newsmax could be found liable in cases brought by voting machine company Dominion.

While Fox is more financially comfortable than OAN and NewsMax, it is not invulnerable. A potential precedent in the Dominion v Fox case could be found in a recent case involving Sarah Palin, who sued the New York Times. Palin claimed the newspaper maliciously damaged her reputation by erroneously linking her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting. We also reported on critics of the Trump claims”. Dominion is already suing Fox News, as well as OAN and Newsmax. Davis’s ruling is not a guarantee that Fox will be found liable. “While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too.” “The reason Dominion is suing is because Fox and other rightwing news outlets repeated vicious lies that Dominion’s voting machines stole the 2020 election from Trump for Biden. But all of these conspiracy theories about Dominion’s machines were just pure bunk, and Fox as a news organization should have known that and not given this aspect of the big lie a megaphone.” In February a jury sided with the Times, finding that a Times employee had not acted with “actual malice” against a public figure or with “reckless disregard” for the truth – the criteria necessary to prove defamation. In a statement, a Fox News spokesperson said: “Limiting the ability of the press to report freely on the American election process stands in stark contrast to the liberties on which this nation was founded, and we are confident we will prevail in this case, as the first amendment is the foundation of our democracy and freedom of the press must be protected.” “Dominion has a very strong case against Fox News – and against OAN for that matter,” said Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, a professor who teaches constitutional law at Stetson University and a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan law and policy institute. “These allegations support a reasonable inference that Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch either knew Dominion had not manipulated the election or at least recklessly disregarded the truth when they allegedly caused Fox News to propagate its claims about Dominion,” Judge Eric Davis said. Fox Corp had attempted to have the suit dismissed, but a Delaware judge said Dominion had shown adequate evidence for the suit to proceed.

First Thing: Fox and friends face billion-dollar US lawsuits (The Guardian)

Rightwing networks Fox News, OAN and Newsmax could be found liable over election fraud claims. Plus, the amazing fates of Hollywood's greatest dresses.

Scientists at the south-west London garden suspected for decades there could be a third species of giant waterlily and worked with researchers in its native home in Bolivia to see if their thesis was correct. A giant waterlily grown at Kew Gardens has been named as new to science, in the first discovery of its type in more than a century. With leaves growing up to 3 meters in the wild, it is also the largest giant waterlily on the planet. The median monthly rent in the US hit an all-time high of $2,002 a month in May 2022. The search for survivors of a glacier collapse in which at least six people have died has resumed in Italy’s Dolomites region. On certain nights on a quiet California beach, thousands of small, silvery fish gather in the moonlight to perform a unique mating ritual. US consumer prices increased 8.6% from May 2021 to May 2022, the biggest increase since 1981, outpacing overall annual wage growth at 5.2% in May 2022. Whatever your feelings about Galagate, the furore does make you wonder about the fate of other coveted – and increasingly valuable – garments from Hollywood history. Grunion are a rare fish species that come ashore to spawn. Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) has estimated the damage done so far to buildings and infrastructure at nearly $104bn. “But there are people in the community who want me dead.” In hisfirst trip outside mainland China since the pandemic began, the Chinese president met only people who had undergone quarantine.

Kamala Harris heading to Chicago after bloody July 4th holiday ... (Fox News)

Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to travel to Chicago, Illinois, on Tuesday, following a weekend of deadly shootings across the city.

We need you, parents, please, to help us make sure your young people are safe." While her trip is not related to the surge in gun violence throughout Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's city, Harris' visit comes on the heels of a deadly weekend in Chicago. Over the July 4th weekend, 54 people were shot and seven of them were killed.

July 4th politics: Hassan charges her GOP challengers in ... (Fox News)

Democratic Sen. Hassan of New Hampshire charges in a Fox News interview that her Republican challengers in the crucial battleground state are 'extreme ...

I want to suspend the gas tax at least through the rest of the year. Pointing to the crowded field of Republicans running for their party’s nomination in the hopes of facing off with Hassan in November’s midterm elections, the senator charged that "I’ve got a group of really extreme opponents. And it would help put a little bit more money back in people’s pockets at a time when other costs are high too," she argued. And when they’re paying over $5 a gallon for gas. Wade ruling by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority and the returning the issue of legalized abortion to state legislatures. People are really feeling the hurt at the pump.

Fox News Potentially Facing Major Financial Damage In Dogged ... (HuffPost)

Discovery in the case could reveal bombshell messages among the Trump White House, Fox personalities, and even Rupert Murdoch.

All of the “conspiracy theories about Dominion’s machines were just pure bunk,” she added. Dominion Voting Systems was given the green light in June to proceed in its suit against both Fox News and Fox Corp, its parent company, by Delaware Supreme Court Judge Eric David. A massive $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit by a voting machine company over Fox News election lies got a whole lot more serious last month when a judge ruled the action can proceed in a scathing ruling against Rupert Murdoch and his son.
