These filings suggest that Fox executives and hosts privately doubted claims of 2020 election fraud while continuing to broadcast them.

However, the hosts point out that discovery documents also contain admissions from Dominion employees, including Eric Coomer, regarding "critical bugs" and technical failings in their voting systems. They suggest the media is focusing on Fox's internal politics to obscure these technical admissions.

The influence of Discovery shareholder John Malone and the "big money" libertarian-conservative wing of the GOP is cited as a driving force behind this shift.

While some suggest he may follow the model of Joe Rogan or Adam Carolla, others believe his success depends on the production infrastructure he previously enjoyed at Fox News. His recent keynote at the Heritage Foundation is noted for its "preachy" and "televangelist" tone.

The "Joe Rogan effect" is cited as a major catalyst for independent shows, often increasing their audience by a third after a single appearance.
