they'll be looking into his activities here in russia were heard from ah, the crumb and spokesperson ms. scott earlier said that he was caught red handed, meaning that they have the evidence to charge him. i would assume so right now will be waiting to see what the outcome is after this hearing and will no doubt be given you more information as soon as we have it will. among the reaction we got to development set on the day was sir, from independent journalist, mike jones and former us marine john, mark dilbren, let's listen to him. first is no secret, especially in this day and age that the american journalistic structure. all of them just about are working through the united states government. it really depends on what this individual was trying to get. but if you're trying to get military secrets related to like weapons, like how much they're producing or anything like this, that's very detrimental to russian security. and you know, they can't just let something like that go, unfortunately, trying to gather a secret information is not a normal thing that journalists do. i mean, they report

quote, i appointed ms. scott to the job and i delegate everything to her. but analysts say in reality -- >> stakes were far too important in the hours and days and weeks after the november 2020 elections for murdoch to completely sit back and watch it unfold. and in fact the evidence that has been brought to light so far shows that he didn't. >> reporter: murdoch admitted in his deposition that while election lies were being propagated on fox's air after the 2020 vote, that he would have liked to be stronger in denouncing it in hindsight. but he also admitted that partially at scott's urging he didn't push back for fear of losing viewers. another person at fox that could take the fall, paul ryan who is a fox board member. ryan admitted that while he advised murdoch after the election that fox shouldn't sp spread conspiracy theories -- >> i don't go out on tv and do it. >> he said i quitely voice my opinion. that is not what a director is supposed do. that is a failure of management oversight. he isis accomplice. >> reporter: and fox is not offering any publ

whether murdoch, ms. scott, whether they are all emotionally invested in the current it ration of fox and what they built, that's a trickier question. in law school they tell you, there's some magic number for settlement and negotiate to it. but law school doesn't always have the psychological components on look. chai, your response to all of the above, including the murdoch admission? >> i think the reason fox hasn't made a move to settle -- i have no real insight other than it just appears to me they've gotten away with this for so long, the conservative movement gotten away with it so long why would it be any different? well, it does feel different. as a democrat i have watch in the frustration and horror at the ability of republicans and conservatives to maintain narratives for which there is little to no evidence. climate change denial is a good example, birtherism. they seem to be able to do this because they've created a conservative media echo chamber that has allowed this to persist. that seems to me n

called arizona those three or four days following election day, our ratings would have been bigger, ms. scottre. our cnn senior media reporter is here with us. what stands out to you from this very detailed account in "the new york times"? it really takes us behind the scenes as to what they were talking about, about that arizona biden call. >> yeah, jim. i guess what stands out to me is this is not how actual news networks operate, right? the thing that's striking is there is certainly a discussion to be had, i think, after fox news became the first outlet to call arizona for biden. that was before anyone else had called it. so there was certainly a discussion to be had about the call itself. but the portrait painted by peter baker in "the new york times" suggests that they weren't necessarily worried about calling the states for accuracy as much as it offended the viewers' feelings. maybe they shouldn't have called it so that they could keep viewers in suspense. these are things that normally news networks don't take into consideration when deciding whether they should call a state or elect

i have two questions and given the short period of time, i would invite specifically ms. scott morton, mr. lewis and ms. lewis to answer as question for the record, but given we will have a little bit of time i invite you to jump in. the two questions are, first, we have the eu digital markets act coming on. and i'm interested in what the fact you see that having in this marketplace and what lessons we should take from that law in this marketplace. reasonably the minimum conclusion one could draw is you can legislate in this space and not break everything. but i would be interested in your views about that. and the second to the point suggests just howow by chairman klobuchar, is how you see section 230 as problematic or helpful in this space? and i'll flagag my bias. i think it's problematic. i think a lot of these problems would've sorted themselves out a lot earlier if these industries were not w protected from severl centuries of legal tradition that govern human behavior. >> i'll just jump in on the dma quicklymp and say that's going o be very interesting for the united st

here's what happened the morning after, quote, ms. scott suggest fox not call any more states until certified by authorities. a process that could take days or weeks. she was talked out of that but the next day, with mr. biden's meet in arizona nearing, the campaign was angry and suggested reversing the call, quote, it is hurting us, network president jay wallace and others in a previously reported email the sooner we pull it, even if it gives us a major ache and put it back in his column, the better we are in my opinion,". the decision desk overseen by bill sammon, the managing editor for washington resisted giving it back to a candidate who was losing, just to satisfy critics. in a statement to the new york times, fox news defended these internal discussions surrounding the arizona decision this way, quote, fox news did by the arizona called despite intense scrutiny. given the extremely narrow 0.3% margin and a new production mechanism that no other network had, of course, there would be a wide-ranging postmortem surrounding the call and

ms. foxx, and the gentleman fm virginia, mr. scott, will each control one hour. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from north carolina, ms. foxx. ms. foxx: thank you, mr. chairman. i yield myself such time as i the chair: so ordered. ms. foxx: mr. chairman, i rise today to recognize the profound importance of h. 5, t parents bill of rights act, and what it means for families across the country. over the pas several years, parents witnessed the consequences of lessons taught in classrooms firsthand. math scores declined by the largest mgin ever and reading scores plummeted to the lest levels in over three decades. these results are devastating. teachers unions and education bureaucrats worked to push progressive politics in classrooms while keeping parents in the dark. the parents bill of rights act aims to end that and shine a light on what is happening in schools. this bill wil reaffirm a parent's right to review course curriculum, meet with the child'seacher and be heard at hool board meetings without fear of reprisal. my colleagues on the other slside of the

scott: i yield three minutes to the the gentlewoman from oregon, ms. bonamici. the chair: the gentlewoman from oregon is recognized. ms. bonamici: i rise today in strong opposition to h.r. 5 which could be called the politics over parents. as a very involved public school parent, i can say that i strongly support parental involvement in scrags and you won't meet a member on this side of the aisle that disagrees with that. the bill today misses the mark. this could have been the opportunity to face the real challenges to make changes that would involve parents in a constructive way and make a positive difference in education and i'm disappointed we aren't doing that. house democrats are committed to providing all parents and those who face barriers with meaningful engagement in their kids' schools. it is clear tay the democratic party is the party of parental rights. we have put forward a plan that will increase the quality and accessibility of parental involvement and engagement in schools. a plan that is in evidence-based models that is shown to increase family

ms. kim prism it, district state laws, justina virginia scott, works with fellow activists in a group which counsels women on how to safely find help with abortion. we met her the day before a court case, which could see had jailed for up to 3 years. not her will happen, maybe tomorrow, will be the beginning of like, the week. justina's ordeal began during the covey to pandemic in 2020. she was contacted by women who said she was a victim of domestic abuse trapped by the lockdown and desperately needed help with an unwanted pregnancy justina's and the woman her own aversion pills. it is a thing that every decent person will do, in my opinion, and also this was the say, 1st, a recommended mentor of walsh. but that act resulted in justina being accused of aiding an abortion. i was really pretty skirt. i cried here like the 2 days he does the do you use us are as a tool to make other women afraid? the day after our meeting used to know this back in a heavily guarded court where she faced not just the state prosecutor, but also this man jakob stoney, off ski. probably believe. so. who is yackel
