Republican former Lt. gov. of Georgia Geoff Duncan said it would take a decade to undo the damage to the GOP caused by Fox News in allegedly promoting conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
Speaking on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ Sunday, Duncan, who is an analyst on the network, addressed claims in a lawsuit released last week by election machines company Dominion.

Duncan said that in pushing the false narrative, Fox News was pandering to its audience’s prejudices for the sake of the bottom line.
“What happened on Fox News was hard for the Republican party, right?” said Duncan. “It allowed, it might take a decade to unwind some of those, the fanning of the flames of all these conspiracy theories, and it was painful to watch and listen to.”
He said that the news media must find a better balance between the for-profit business model and news that’s in the public interest.
