“They’ll call you a terrorist and ruin your life”: Dems sound alarm over Trump’s IRS weaponization
How do democracies die? Not with a dramatic coup, but through quiet, intentional dismantling-rules bent just slightly, laws rewritten, oppositions discredited and then disarmed. This warning from political scientists has proven prophetic across South and Southeast Asia, where the past decade has witnessed steady democratic erosion. The post South and Southeast Asia are on the front lines of the democracy-autocracy showdown appeared first on Atlantic Council.

‘Sold my soul to the devil’: Fox News staffers blast network in explosive court filing
A Smartmatic court filing revealed that a survey of employees done by Fox’s human resources department found that the staff has a “resounding lack of confidence” in the company as a news organization. Among the problems employees had with the company were ethics, fair treatment, and their efforts to fact-check and report things fairly and accurately. Smartmatic is highlighting the commentary as part of an ongoing lawsuit against the company, alleging that the network and news personalities defamed the company. The most notable comments come from pages 550-554, in which HR took commentary from some of those employees. “The racial rhetoric spewed on Air. It’s everything but [Fair] and Balanced,” another employee said, referring to the slogan the network used until it was retired in 2017. “I sometimes go home fighting back tears. This network made me question my morals. Have I sold my soul to the devil?”“I wish we would get out of Trump’s pocket and realize people like Tucker [Carlson], Laura [Ingraham], [Sean] Hannity, [Mark] Levin, etc. are a total embarrassment, peddling BS and conspiracy theories. Many days I feel like I am part of the problem and FNC is contributing to hatred in this country,” said one staffer.“There is total lack of accountability when highly rated anchors like Tucker, Hannity and Laura say outrageous things that are outright racist and xenophobic,” complained one employee to HR. “There is not enough quality control to keep conspiracy theories off the air. There is so much good about Fox, but serving as the committee to re-elect Trump puts us on the same footing as Breitbart, and it is very hard to defend at times.”Another staffer encouraged that the on-air talent make a commitment to “tell viewers the truth, and to bolster their arguments with hard, proven facts given in full context, rather than spin or reckless conjecture that causes harm to real people (just one example of many: the Seth Rich conspiracy theory).”.
