ANÁLISIS | Con el acuerdo histórico entre Fox y Dominion por difamación, Rupert Murdoch está pagando el precio de las mentiras electorales de Trump

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:15:44 GMT

(CNN) — La Gran Mentira tuvo un alto precio.El asombroso acuerdo de último minuto por US$ 787,5 millones entre Fox News y Dominion Voting Systems, que se produjo después de que el jurado se sentara y estuviera al borde de escuchar las declaraciones iniciales este martes, sirvió como un claro recordatorio de que decir mentiras tiene consecuencias.El país sufrió las consecuencias de las mentiras electorales de Donald Trump el 6 de enero de 2021. Y Rupert Murdoch sufrió las consecuencias de esas mismas mentiras el 18 de abril de 2023.Pero si bien es el acuerdo por difamación más grande conocido públicamente por un medio de comunicación de EE.UU., el alto precio no será suficiente para cambiar Fox News en su esencia. El canal de noticias de derecha aún siembra dudas sobre las elecciones de 2020 hasta el día de hoy. Y fuentes me dicen que el acuerdo al que llegó con Dominion no requerirá que sus personalidades deshonestas reconozcan la realidad y emitan retractaciones al aire.En ca...

LONDON — The United Kingdom issued a warning on Wednesday that cyber groups affiliated with Russia were targeting critical infrastructure within the country and across the West.The warning marks the latest escalation between the Kremlin and Western capitals more than a year after Moscow invaded Ukraine.

Chilly Breeze

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:15:44 GMT

April, being more like April the last few days as more of a seasonable chill has settled back in. Today, we’ll continue that theme with a busy breeze out of the west and high temps holding in the low to mid 50s for most. With chilly air aloft thanks to an upper-level low just to our north, it’ll be easy to manufacture some midday clouds, so do expect at times for the sky to go mostly cloudy. The atmosphere is dry, so despite the extra clouds at times, we won’t track any showers. Clouds fade out early this evening, as the breeze diminishes as well. Heading to Fenway? It’ll be cool tonight, but decent baseball weather overall with temps near 50. Tomorrow, we’ll step the temps up a bit as highs head for the mid to upper 60s inland. We’ll near 60 at the coast before a sea breeze to kick in. Temps Friday are even higher, low 70s inland, 50s to near 60 at the coast. The weekend is split, with Sunday being the rainy day as showers will be widespread in...
