The far-left is using the coronavirus pandemic as the latest excuse to destroy Fox News. This time left-wing activists are using a coordinated strategy to allege that Fox offered viewers dangerously misleading information about the virus that cost lives.

The latest campaign against Fox has culminated in a consumer protection and emotional distress lawsuit filed on April 2 by the Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics (WASHLITE). 

To the untrained eye, it appeared WASHLITE enjoyed every advantage in the case. The activist organization filed the suit in King County Washington, the bluest county in a deep blue state. 

Public records showed Judge Ken Schuber, who oversaw the proceedings, donated to and received support from liberal groups.

However, WASHLITE has since successfully disqualified Judge Schuber from the case, reaffirming the consensus that everyone involved with the case knows it has no chance of success.

Per Law&Crime:

In a court document entitled an “affidavit of prejudice,” WASHLITE’s attorney, Elizabeth Hallock, states only as follows: “I believe that a fair and impartial hearing cannot be heard before the Hon. Judge Schubert, Judge of the above case.” In an email to Law&Crime, Hallock acknowledged that her affidavit was not required under state law and noted, legally, that “[d]isqualifying one judge under that statute is automatic.”

The judge, Hon. Ken Schubert, agreed Thursday afternoon to have the case reassigned, but took a swipe at Hallock’s affidavit through this footnote:

“Plaintiff submitted an affidavit wherein her counsel swears under penalty of perjury that a ‘fair and impartial trial’ in this case cannot be had before this Court. As of July 23, 2017, [state law] no longer requires a party seeking to disqualify a judge to file an affidavit or make such assertions.”

The judge the plaintiffs successfully disqualified generally hears criminal matters. His biography states that he was previously a chief civil judge, and he has been on the bench since 2013. Judges run for office in nonpartisan elections in Washington State, but a Law&Crime review of election expenditures from Schubert’s 2012 election committee shows payments to Northwest Passage Consulting, a group which states on its homepage that it tends to work with Democrats and progressives. Schubert reportedly ran unopposed in 2016 and did not report expenditures. Hallock, the plaintiff’s attorney, is running for governor of Washington on the Green Party ticket according to news reports and her campaign website.

It seems unlikely that WASHLITE will find a much more sympathetic judge.

  1. As far as FOX News input into the virus, FOX repeated Fauci and Birx and CDC who are the miscreants in the contemptible plot to kill this country.
    It’s going to be fun watching FOX destroy those Leftists groups who’re Globalist Democrats by submitting all the Democrat Governors and Mayors who’ve disallowed the use of known treatments that save lives of the those afflicted with the Virus right in their faces.
    Let’s get to it !

    1. When a radical liberal judge is NOT liberal enough for the rabid communists, you know that the agenda has moved MUCH much further to the left.
      Just like in the Democrat primary, the left is fighting themselves. We can hope they all win this fight.

  2. I guess cnn and the rest of the liars that clutter up the cable networks, don’t deserve a second look?

  3. Sue the living hell out of FOX. Make them go bankrupt the have Hannity, Trump, Limbaugh, etc. buy the network and throw out:Baier, nut Wallace, Hemmer, Cavuto, Kurtz, Bream, Smith and all of the others who get a ‘second paycheck’.

    1. Only in your wildest, wettest dreams, Tom — only then! 🙂 If people haven’t sued the “living hell” out of the vacuous liberal media with all the downright lies and half-truths they spew? They certainly aren’t going to do it for a network that sticks the truth and facts. 🙂

    2. You are a true socialist. No voices contradicting your socialist “truths” must be heard. Everybody disagreeing with you belongs in jail, it seems. Your mental demeanor is the one which ruled in Soviet, DDR, Cuba. Nazi-Germany and still North Korea. You are a standard socialist.

      1. You need a comprehension intervention. Tom was saying sue the new left Fox, then have Hannity, Trump, Limbaugh but the channel. Win/win!!

      1. You too need a comprehension intervention. Tom was saying sue the new left Fox, then have Hannity, Trump, Limbaugh buy the channel. Win/win!!

    3. Not much hell in those you named. You will have to find a socialist/progressive/liberal/democrat/snake to find enough hell to sue.

    4. Poor Tommy, I can see him now, his face all beet red while banging on the keyboard and yelling up at the basement door: “MOMMMMMMM…. BRING MORE HOT POCKETS!!!!!”

      1. You need a comprehension intervention. Tom was saying sue the new left Fox, then have Hannity, Trump, Limbaugh buyt the channel. Win/win!!

    5. I agree with some of your choices but not Bill Hemmer or Brett Baier. They are pretty honest in their reporting and basically giving their opinions.
      These people going after you really do have comprehension problems!

  4. Gee, I guess the lies and obfuscations spewed 24/7 by the liberal media don’t count as “dangerously misleading information about the virus that cost lives,” right? Or maybe Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics, doesn’t know the meaning of “transparent” and “ethics?” Prime example of “truth is lies, and lies are truth” for so many liberal groups today!

  5. Pure Hegelian dialectic theater to distract attention while the globalist pedophile elitists press their agenda forward aggressively under the radar and cover of these attention distractions.

  6. I can only add one thing to Leif’s comment. That is that if Fox News were broadcasting lies and propaganda, it would not be the top ranked cable network.

  7. These Liberal mongrels are just using the virus to benefit them.
    They need to be proven to be the ignorant liars they have always
    been. Theatrics and Drama is all they have to back them up. They
    need to be shut down so they can not do any more damage. If
    there is any lying going on it is from this group of ingrates.

  8. I am a conservative and I follow Hannity, Limbaugh, and President Trump. In defence of Tom earlier when you read what he is saying in between the words bankrupt and have he ment then instead of the. That makes the big 3 owners of the station. Sounds good to me. Thw “NEW” Fox is no longer truely conservative and telling both sides and finding what the trueth really is. They have started down the path of follow the leader where the deep pockets and lies lay.
