Are you ready for it? -- But FOX!
.
FOX is a publicly traded company and with FOX cheating so blatantly on a presidential ELECTION OUTCOME and being a news agency with the protections afforded a free press have essentially engaged in something akin to insider trading by KNOWINGLY LYING ABOUT THE ELECTION RESULTS. The fact INTERNAL FOX DOCUMENTS (obtained under court ordered subpoenae) proving that the BIG LIE was A LIE, is huge. BUT THIS DID NOT CAUSE FOX to be shut down.
.
It will be interesting to get to the bottom of what actually happened. E.g., ...
1. ABC sent the same preliminary info regarding topics to be discussed to BOTH campaigns? But the whistleblower only blew the whistle about Harris and ignored the equal treatment?
2. A rogue ABC insider sent info to one or both campaigns without the knowledge or permission of ABC managers? But the whistleblower learned of the rogue action and only blew the whistle on Harris?
3. ...
4. THERE WAS NO UNFAIRLY LEAKED INFO.

Re: If I understand this correctly
ABC and its parent corporation Disney are publicly traded companies and with ABC cheating so blatantly on a presidential debate and being a news agency with the protections afforded a free press have essentially engaged in something akin to insider trading by rigging the debate. The fact the whistle blower sent a copy through the mail the day before proving that the fix was in, is huge. Like this could cause ABC to be shut down.
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/06/trump-fbi-foreign-election-interference-gore-downey/591748/ Tom Downey was advising the Gore team in 2000 when he received documents stolen from George W. Bush. His first reaction was to turn them over to the FBI. [dateline June 2019]
.
"In his interview with George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday [2019], President Donald Trump tried to imagine a scenario in which someone involved with a presidential campaign would call the FBI if that person was offered dirt from a foreign government on the opposition. “Okay, let’s put yourself in a position,” the president begins. “You’re a congressman. Somebody comes up and says, ‘Hey, I have information on your opponent.’ Do you call the FBI? … You don’t call the FBI. “Life doesn’t work that way,” Trump added.
.
"In 2000, life did work that way for Tom Downey, a former Democratic representative from New York who was helping his friend, Vice President Al Gore, run for the White House. Downey, who had served in the House for 18 years until becoming a lobbyist in 1993, had been preparing to play Gore’s opponent, George W. Bush, in the presidential debates when, in mid-September, he received a package in the mail. It contained briefing materials and a videotape. When Downey started watching the tape, along with his assistant, he quickly realized it was a video of Bush practicing as if he were being interviewed by Tim Russert, the late Meet the Press host who was a contender to moderate the first debate. ..."

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=122921 Gore Confidant Turns Over Debate Plans.
The FBI is assessing a videotape and documents sent to a confidant of Al Gore that relate to George W. Bush’s debate preparations.
.
"Tom Downey, a former New York congressman who had been helping the vice president prepare for debates, received the mysterious package at his Washington office Tuesday morning. After viewing the enclosed VHS tape for less than a minute and looking through the half-inch thick stack of written documents, he contacted his lawyer Marc Miller, the attorney said. Miller than contacted the FBI which took possession of the package and its contents Wednesday afternoon.
.
" “When Mr. Downey determined what it was or what he thought it was,” Miller told ABCNEWS, “we decided we didn’t want to have anything to do with it.” A Democratic lawyer knowledgeable about the contents of the package told ABCNEWS that the videotape and papers are “the real deal” and appear to be actual material from the Bush campaign’s debate preparations. “Clearly, this is something that should not have been sent to me,” Downey said in a statement. Downey told associates that the tape showed a mock-debate session between the Texas governor and New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg, the Bush camp’s stand-in for Gore, the Associated Press reported.
.
"The package, according to Downey’s attorney, was shipped via 2-Day Express Mail and has a postmark of Austin, Texas, where the Bush campaign’s headquarters is located. Miller added that the package had a return address as well as a typed, but unsigned note addressed to Downey. The bizarre incident occurred on the eve of a meeting between Bush and Gore campaign officials and the Commission on Presidential Debates to resolve a longstanding dispute over the date, venue and format for televised debates this fall. ..."

.
"It was a tweet that set off a storm. Was President Trump admitting to collusion between his campaign and Russia? Was he stipulating that the now notorious June 2016 Trump Tower meeting arranged by his son Donald Trump Jr. really was all about getting dirt on Hillary Clinton from a Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer and not adoption issues as President Trump had earlier claimed? "This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere," the president tweeted early Sunday. ..."

It WAS illegal but the DoJ determined that Don Jr. was too stupid to know it was illegal and did not press charges against him.
