Explosions In The Sky Reveal “The End” Tour

photo credit Nick Simonite

• No Comments

For the first time since 2020, Explosions In The Sky are hitting the road. Their “The End” tour will have the band traversing the States from September 15 to October 3 before they make the trip overseas for a string of dates that will lead them into late November. Although there is no word on new music, the name of the tour has sparked rumors of the band calling it quits after these shows wrap up deep into Fall. 

The Austin natives have been staying under the radar since the release of their 2016 album, The Wilderness , their last studio effort. While the bad was the driving force behind the soundtrack to the 2021 film, “Big Bend”, the band has been laying low since their 20th Anniversary tour back in 2020. 

Since their debut record came out in 2000, Explosions In The Sky have been one of the most prolific and consistently impressive bands to emerge from their era. Their creativity hit a new high with the release of their critically-acclaimed 2003 album, The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place . Since then the band has scored multiple appearances in film and television including providing full soundtracks for films like “Lone Survivor” (2014) and “Manglehorn” (2015). 

While specific details on the tour are slim, you can check out the full list of dates below and keep an eye out for any updates on an explanation of the cryptic tour name.

Explosions in the Sky Announce 2023 “The End Tour” Dates

The post Explosions in the Sky Announce 2023 “The End Tour” Dates appeared first on Consequence .

Explosions in the Sky have very mysteriously announced a run of 2023 tour dates. The post-rock group will embark on “The End Tour” beginning this fall, and as for what the “end” actually entails here, your guess is as good as ours!

Much like Explosions in the Sky’s music, press materials for “The End Tour” are composed 0f very few words. We  do  know the dates, which begin on September 15th in Houston. The band will then make stops in cities including Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New Haven, before heading off to Europe; that leg will include shows in London, Dublin, Berlin, Barcelona, and more.

Still, no clues as to how “The End Tour” gets its name. For all we know it could be a farewell tour, a new album, or the anticipation of societal collapse. Either way, a ticket pre-sale begins tomorrow, April 19th, at 10:00 a.m. local using the fan code THEENDTOUR  or the LiveNation code VINYL . General sale follows this Friday, April 21st at 10:00 a.m. local, and you can grab yours at Ticketmaster .

Once tickets are on sale, you can also find them at StubHub , where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. See Explosions in the Sky’s “The End Tour” itinerary below.

In 2021, Explosions in the Sky provided the score to the PBS documentary Big Bend: The Wild Frontier of Texas . They also landed on our recent list of the top 10 post-rock albums .

Explosions in the Sky (formed in 1999) is an American post-rock band that has surpassed the popularity of the post-rock genre with their instrumental-driven, symphonic playing style, hailing from Austin, Texas, U.S.

Formerly of the moniker Breaker Morant, Explosions of the Sky was formed in 1999 by drummer Chris Hrasky and guitarists Michael James, Munaf Rayani, and Mark Smith. The band made their debut recording at KVRX with the track “Remember Me as a Time of Day”, followed by the group’s full-length debut “How Strange, Innocence”. Distributed locally on CD-Rs, the album earned Explosions in the Sky a small local following and rehearsal footage found its way onto the feature film “Cicadas”, which later won an Austin Film Festival award.

Shortly after, the band signed with Temporary Residence Limited after fellow Austin band The American Analog Set submitted an Explosions in the Sky demo. The group’s sophomore album “Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever” came under particular scrutiny for the connections with the September 11 World Trade Centre attacks. The album art work depicted an airplane with the caption “This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow” and was released on September 4, 2001. Explosions in the Sky supported the release opening for post-rock band Fugazi in 2002 and went on to release their poignantly-thick third studio album “The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place”. The album continued the band’s luscious and layered trend of musical production, however introduced an element of predictability that had been absent on its predecessors.

In 2004 the band scored the soundtrack to the 2004 film “Friday Night Lights”, and a year later re-released “Explosions in the Sky” to a growing and enthusiastic fan base. 2007’s “All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone” once again introduced a beautifully layered and unpretentiously chaotic album, followed four years later by “Take Care, Take Care, Take Care” once again on Temporary Residence. With the success of “Friday Night Lights” the band scored the soundtrack to the David Gordon Green film “Prince Avalanche” in 2013 and “Manglehorn” in 2014.

Live reviews

Let's start with the fact that I came in 40 minutes before the opening of the Roxy, did not expect, but in front of me stood 40 bodies, I met a friend from Russia, which left at the end, during this time i could see the bus for group and transport equipment. Czech warm-up appeared, they started playing music in the post-rock genre with psychedelic vocals in some moments, it is not surprising to me. After an hour they said goodbye, got good applause, and the time of waiting, when the first not much goes their chief technician and part of their main Rowdy and begins to check the equipment with other techniques, all of course professionally and very quickly. Well, that's the time when the band takes the stage smoothly, fly obligatory applause in length to the first composition, they are starting to make a re-review of its instruments, the setting, the group makes a lot of preparations before the concert, so the first few minutes of an organized moment. Traditionally Munaf says something on the language of the country where they stand, but he says that the Czech complicated language and could not understand it, in other matters, I understand it. When they played the first notes of Wilderness, I have as much goose bumps, next I'll be a little philosophize, Catastrophe, which is just awakened and opened the accumulated rage and let it go, it was very relaxed and easy on the soul. Greet Death, oh, it is simply a positive aggression that tells you "do in the life what you want and do not listen to anyone," a third-minute begins incredibly beautiful ambient instrumental that made me open it on a new, and love. Ecstatics returns positive energy and gives the mind a rest, First Breath After Coma, for me it is something more because combines motivation, struggle with himself, however this is not true obsession. Under The Birth and the Death I just withdrew into himself,i closed eyes, I had so many bright colors, sensations, I just enjoyed it. With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, for me it has always been a kind and difficult, but on a ninth minute waiting for a very nice surprise melancholic. Here eits acted very cleverly, Colors in Space, is perhaps the most relaxing for me, and it is smart because it really gives time to relax before two very beautiful and emotional creatures. I knew every song from the set list so it was very easy to listen and anticipate each note, it was clean, no bugs, traveled of delays, lost fingers on the other trouble, smooth, even too much, all perfectly trained. By tradition, the last 3 of the track: Your Hand in Mine, on something bracing, in my case it Disintegration Anxiety, to be prepared for a rather emotional and, in my opinion, with respect to the best The Only Moment We Were Alone, which may seem incredible if you listen to it several times.

At the last note Munaf effectively cut down the light, the rest of the band left to applause. That's all, my hands were given automatic applause for 5 minutes, as well as everyone do.

Report as inappropriate

Where, so often, post-rock live shows can represent exercises in overblown self-indulgence, Explosions in the Sky do their best to bring things back to basics. The Texans tick all of the right boxes for instrumental rock; setlist staple ‘The Only Moment We Were Alone’ has the exhilarating, sudden jumps between loud and quiet guitars covered, whilst cuts from latest record Take Care, Take Care, Take Care - such as the gorgeous ‘Postcard from 1952’ - have delicacy and nuance covered, too. They seem to have fallen into the positive habit of avoiding most of the obvious post-rock pitfalls, too; their sets tend to run to around the ninety minute mark, relatively pithy for their genre, and there’s no paranoid over-reliance on garish visuals to somehow make up for the lack of a frontman - the Texan state flag draped over an amp is about as showy as the spectacle usually gets. They’re living proof that instrumental music can be life-affirming without resorting to melodrama, and genuinely evocative without needing to be overly dark; with a seventh studio album surely not too far away now, it shouldn’t be long before a protracted UK absence is brought noisily to an end.

The post rock quartet Explosions In the Sky have been touring for over fifteen years and in this time they have become masterful instrumentalists due to the ability to continuously tweak and develop a live show whilst constantly testing out new material and differentiation with the baying crowds that continue to flock to their stage.

Despite having recently took off commercially in the US, they are still considered an acquired taste in the UK yet their latest tour could have easily turned around even the most skeptical of critic. Beginning with a celestial, dreamy 'Postcard From 1952' the band briskly gets to work proving exactly why they have garnered such critical acclaim.

The audience is instantly transfixed beneath the hazy multicoloured smoke as the band weave tales through their riffs and percussion. The poignancy of the vocal found on 'Catastrophe and the Cure' is chilling and by the finale of 'The Moon Is Down' the crowd is so secure and comfortable within the ethereal, majestic world of Explosions In the Sky it makes reality seem somewhat of a disappointment.

I've been lucky this summer. I've seen Explosions In The Sky twice. Thankfully, one of those shows was at a venue with a decent sound system. Or a decent sound guy. Or both.

Sadly, last night's show was a disappointment based purely on the sound. The visuals, marrying the amazing, emotive soundscapes with such atmospheric lighting creates a wildly impressive experience which worked in the Academy as well as at a much smaller venue earlier on this tour.

What really disappointed was the quality of sound coming from the stacks at the numerous drops, either screeching with feedback and little else or filling the room with the dull thud of the bass and low-range drums. I left well before the end, disappointed that a band with such captivating music failed to truly excite a partisan crowd.

Surely I wasn't the only one to feel sorry for both the band and the crowd who'd made as much effort to be there as the five guys on stage? The connection was clearly there, just not through the sound.

When I discovered Explosions in the Sky I was at least 15 years old and I was very impressed by the feelings they gave me when listening to their music, 15 years later the feeling is still alive and seeing them live has been, personally, one of the experiences most rewarding of my life, for the long wait, for the reward. The sound was beautiful, as far as they are concerned, its performance was impeccable (maybe the sound of the room was not the most appropriate but let's say that in terms of quality we give it 85%). Each passage of the concert has been magical and unforgettable. Many thanks to Explosions in the Sky for reviving me once again.

This was one of the very best live shows I have ever seen. The band hardly talks at all--they just show up and play with feeling. They didn't miss a single note, and the audience gets a chance to see how some of the more creative sounds are made (i.e., Munaf Rayani letting the reverberations from the different amps play the strings of his guitar). The music only stops when silence is the appropriate sound; the rest of the show is nonstop, one song bleeding over into the next. The synchronized lighting was true art. The band's capacity for putting 100% of their emotion into each song was amazing to see.

It's been a long 5 years since I've seen them and wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't think they could get any better than the last time I saw them live, but I was wrong. It was an Amazing show at Terminal 5. They've added another musician to the live act, which I was not aware of before the show. Originally wasn't crazy about the newest album, but I grew on me and after seeing 4 of the new songs performed live, I am now a huge fan of the new album. Setlist available at:

The venue is really nice and the performance was flawless. It was done in a way where one song blends with the next.

Acoustics of the Fox Theater suck for loud concerts though, the reverb was making it sound very busy at times and the subtleties of the new album's glitches and electronics were mostly gone.

As for the band, they not only don't have lyrics, they also don't speak to the audience at all. And there's no encores. So that was unusual.

All in all though, we enjoyed the concert a lot.

Incredible and moving. They played a continuous set for over 90 minutes, seamlessly bridging each song. It was a sonic opera/opus. I've never had a concert experience like it before. They gave a true gift to the audience, and as I was watching I had the repeated thought, "Thank God for artists!" Restored my faith that there are really good people in this nation even if crooks, liars and power-hungry scum dominate our media, corporations and politics.

Seeing EitS live compared to listening to them on a home setup is a completely different experience - their concert could best be described as a living wall of noise, with almost no let-up between tracks. A stunning lightshow further adds to the intensity of the experience.

My main gripe would be that they didn't play Your Hand In Mine live, which was heartbreaking as it was the deciding factor in making me buy tickets to go see them.

Explosions In The Sky

• This event is GA (Standing)

selling fast

Following their critically acclaimed new album End , and sold-out international tours last year, Explosions In The Sky  have announced a string of Australian and New Zealand live dates and festival appearances in May.

 Long renowned for their cathartic and euphoric live shows, the dates mark the band’s first Australian appearance since their 2017 run, which saw them perform two sold-out headline shows at Sydney Opera House.

 Their latest full-length release End  is arguably the grandest Explosions In The Sky album to date - melding the quiet restraint and crushing weight of their early recordings with the aural exploration and ornate experimentation of their later works all the while incorporating skills and insights gleaned from their increasingly deep film and television scoring experiences. While End  was inspired by darkness, it became a loud, dramatic, wild rumination on life and death.

 Over nearly 25 years of being a band Explosions In The Sky have achieved remarkable critical and commercial success while making an especially non-commercial style of music - having sold nearly two million albums worldwide and scored five major motion pictures to date. They’ve become the sound of modern sports films, documentaries and television series - due largely to their genre-defining Friday Night Lights  score - and have found a diverse array of major artists as fans as well, having been invited to tour with Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, and many others.

Ukraine war latest: 'Undeclared Russian military intelligence officer' expelled from UK

The Home Office has expelled a Russian defence attaché as part of a series of measures against Moscow. James Cleverly said the attaché was an "undeclared military intelligence officer". Ask our military analysts or international correspondents a question in the box below.

Thanks for following our live coverage, we'll be back soon with more live updates. 

Kosovo's foreign minister has said her country is convinced Russia must lose the war in Ukraine for conflict not to spread further in Europe.

Donika Gervalla-Schwarz said her young nation's support for Ukraine was unconditional - despite Kyiv not having recognised Kosovo's independence.

Ms Gervalla-Schwarzd her small Balkan nation, which declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, is repeatedly reminded of the aggressive intentions of both Serbia and its ally Russia.

"Ukraine hasn't recognised the Republic of Kosovo as a state, but we really believe that we know exactly what Ukraine is going through," she told The Associated Press in an interview.

"And we know that there is only one solution, not only for Ukraine, but for Europe," she said.

"It can only be Russia to lose the war and Ukraine to win this war. Otherwise, Europe should prepare for other conflicts in our continent."

The people of Kosovo were the targets of war crimes and other atrocities by Serbia's security forces in the 1990s, an experience that led Kosovo to seek independence.

"While Kosovo is a small state with very modest possibilities to help, we have tried to be very helpful with Ukraine and have not hesitated to show our unconditional support and sympathy to the people and to the state of Ukraine," Ms Gervalla-Schwarz said.

Lord Cameron has called the UK's measures on a Russian defence attache "an unequivocal message" to Moscow. 

The foreign secretary was replying to James Cleverly's post on X in which he said the Home Office expelled a Russian defence attache as part of a series of measures against the country.

Other measures in the package include removing the diplomatic premises status from several Russian owned properties in the UK and capping the amount of time Russian diplomats can spend in the UK.

Budapest is once again raising eyebrows across the world's biggest military alliance as it pledges to defy a NATO initiative. 

The alliance's long-term plan to support Ukraine militarily was agreed in April, but was dubbed a "crazy mission" by Hungary's foreign minister today. 

Under the plans, NATO would take over some coordination work from a US-led coalition known as the Ramstein group.

Discussing the plans today, Peter Szijjarto said: "Hungary will stay out of NATO's crazy mission despite all the pressure."

Relations between Budapest and NATO have soured because of Hungary's foot-dragging over the ratification of Sweden's NATO accession - finally passed by Budapest in March - and also over nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban's close ties with Moscow. 

The Russian embassy in London has said there will be "an appropriate response" after Britain expelled a Russian defence attache.

The embassy said the restrictions that had been imposed were done under a "groundless and ridiculous pretext", according to Russian state news agency TASS.

It comes after Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was reported as telling journalists that the Kremlin will respond appropriately following the expulsion.

Dominic Waghorn, international affairs editor

It's always assumed defence attaches play some kind of role gatherling intelligence and that is generally tolerated by their host countries. 

They could be gathering data about weapons production for instance or ship building but there is a line they are expected not to cross. 

The assumption here is that the Russians have broken the rules of the game.

But the British government will have thought long and hard before expelling the Russian. It doesn't come without cost.

In their day jobs defence attaches play a crucial role in liaising with their hosts.  That can be very important in terms of avoiding misunderstandings that could lead to unnecessary and dangerous escalation. 

Losing Russia’s defence attache in London deprives the UK of one more line of liaison at a time when clear understanding and clarification could be essential to avoiding deepening conflict.

That is not ideal at a time of war. 

What is not clear is how much these moves are connected specifically to the conduct of the Russians involved or should they actually be seen more as another chapter in the diplomatic war underway between Russia and the UK.

The UK has undoubtedly weakened Russia's ability to spy in the UK and gather intelligence but these measures will also affect Britain's ability to predict and avoid potential escalation. 

That will be made even worse if Russia, as may be expected, responds with like-for-like retaliation

Seven people have been injured by Russian shelling in eastern Kharkiv, according to the region's governor.

Oleg Synegubov said among those wounded was an eight-year-old girl and three boys, two aged 14 and the other 15. 

"Two [of the] boys are in serious condition, [the other] boy and [the] girl are in average condition," he said. 

One 55-year-old civilian of unspecified gender was also hospitalised. 

Two women had minor injuries. 

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has offered his thoughts on the expulsion of a Russian defence attache the government has accused of being an undeclared military intelligence officer. 

"Today we've expelled Russia's defence attache who has been working as an intelligence officer for Putin in the UK," he said on X. 

"We will not tolerate Putin’s efforts to undermine our nation and democracy and will continue to stand up for freedom here and in Ukraine."

Each week we ask readers for their questions on the war for our military analysts and international correspondents.

This week,  military analyst Sean Bell  answers:

Why is Ukraine focusing its drone attacks on oil refineries rather than near the front lines? Mike

Thanks, Mike, for this topical question.

Although the ultimate metric of success in this brutal war is territory gained, to achieve that outcome requires a more complex strategy than simply focusing on the frontline battle.

One of the reasons that the Royal Air Force was formed as an independent service was the recognition that greater impact could often be achieved by targeting enemy logistics and supply lines behind the frontline, rather than simply focusing effort on the "close battle".  

Military action is ultimately driven by political will to achieve a desired end-state; the military simply creates the conditions in which a political outcome can be achieved.  

At the tactical level of warfare, the focus is on the battles of individual soldiers and units prevailing against tactical targets.

However, at the other end of the spectrum, senior military strategists seek to attack the enemy's "centre of gravity" - the one thing that the enemy cannot afford to lose and thus must protect at all costs.

'Fight smarter'

In the Second World War, much of the Allied bombing effort was targeting German industrial capacity, as without the ability to regenerate military equipment and ammunition, the war would not be sustainable.  

Ukraine has a smaller army than Russia, and so any conventional attritional battle would favour Russia.

Therefore, Ukraine has to try to "fight smarter" and erode Russia's will - or capacity - to fight.  

A war on this scale consumes huge quantities of resource, which has to be funded in some way.  

Russia's oil exports fund Vladimir Putin's military campaign and also pay for imports of vital munitions from North Korea and Iran.  

By targeting the enemy's oil facilities Ukraine will be aiming to reduce Russia's export capacity, which in turn impacts Russia's ability to fund the war.  

That might not help the close battle, but could undermine Russia's commitment to a longer-duration conflict.

And, although drones are an "irritation" to the frontline forces, the quantity of explosives they are able to deliver is relatively small, so their effect is relatively limited.  

However, an oil facility is very vulnerable to a relatively small-scale explosion, which can spread swiftly to destroy a crucial part of Russia's critical national infrastructure - more bang per buck.

So, although Ukraine desperately needs to stop Russia from breaking through its frontlines, we can expect to see Ukraine continue to target energy infrastructure as part of a broader strategy in its war with Russia.

We now have more details regarding the freshly expelled Russian defence attache we reported on in our 1.10pm post. 

The attache accused by the Home Office of being an undeclared military intelligence officer spying for the Kremlin is Colonel Maxim Elovik.

Sky throttle Liberty 101-53 in their final preseason game

Any concerns over whether or not angel reese could return from the met gala ready to play were put to rest by her 13-point, five-rebound, two-steal performance..

Angel Reese finished with 13 points, five rebounds and two steals in the Sky’s win over the Liberty on Tuesday.

Tuesday marked a number of firsts for the Sky.

It was the first time Teresa Weatherspoon took the court as their coach, the first time rookie Angel Reese played in front of her new home crowd and the first time fans saw their new-look team after the WNBA failed to stream their preseason opener Friday against the Lynx.

With this first opportunity, the Sky delivered by crushing the Liberty 101-53 in a preseason game at Wintrust Arena.

Marina Mabrey made a three-pointer in transition to put the Sky ahead by 29 with 3:44 left in the third quarter, and Weatherspoon celebrated as though it was a playoff game. The moment was a glimpse of what Weatherspoon brings to the franchise.

‘‘She just tries to put everybody in positions where she knows they’ll be successful,’’ Mabrey said.

Mabrey finished with a game-high 20 points, four assists and three rebounds.

• WNBA will let teams use charter flights for 2024 season

Any concerns about whether Reese would return from the Met Gala on Monday in New York ready to play were quelled by her 13-point, five-rebound, two-steal performance.

‘‘She understands how to prioritize,’’ Weatherspoon said. ‘‘She takes very good care of her body and knows what’s important.’’

Dana Evans added 19 points, seven assists and five rebounds.

The Liberty’s starters didn’t play a minute in the fourth quarter.

Vandersloot bike tour

Liberty — and former Sky — guard Courtney Vandersloot kicked her season off with a five-borough bike tour of New York.

The reason? To raise money for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. Vandersloot’s mom, Jan , was diagnosed with advanced multiple myeloma in 2022.

Vandersloot couldn’t take part in the tour last year because she was dealing with a concussion she suffered in training camp. Former Sky guard Allie Quigley , Vandersloot’s wife, rode in her place.

This year, the two completed the 40-mile bike tour together alongside MMRF members.

‘‘It was for a good cause,’’ Vandersloot said. ‘‘That kept me going. And it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime things. When are you ever going to be on the freeway with no cars in New York?’’

Vandersloot raised more than $10,000 for MMRF this year.

Injury news

Weatherspoon updated the media on rookie center Kamilla Cardoso’s injured right shoulder before the game, saying, ‘‘We’ve been told four to six weeks, but she’s a tough young lady, so it could very well be before that.’’

Weatherspoon didn’t share the specifics of Cardoso’s injury.

A priority for Weatherspoon will be ensuring that Cardoso feels fully integrated into the team despite being unable to participate in practices or games.

Along with Cardoso, rookie guard Brynna Maxwell (knee) and forward Taya Reimer (concussion protocol) are out. The team said Maxwell will be reevaluated in three to four weeks.

The Sky will have to cut their roster to 12 by Monday. In response to a question about how injuries affect the evaluation process and finalizing the roster, Weatherspoon said, ‘‘It’s a tough situation because training camp is so short.’’

UPDATE: Fox News has removed the series The Trial of Hunter Biden from it subscription streaming service Fox Nation following a legal threat from Biden’s attorneys.

“This program was produced in and has been available since 2022. We are reviewing the concerns that have just been raised and — out of an abundance of caution in the interim — have taken it down,” a Fox News Media spokesperson said.

Trump's Lawyer Tries To Cast Doubt On Stormy Daniels' Claims Of Sexual Encounter And Threat To Stay Silent -- Update

PREVIOUSLY: Fox News is responding to Hunter Biden’s legal threat after his attorneys claimed that the network was engaged in a conspiracy to defame their client.

Biden’s attorneys contend that Fox News’ use of sexually explicit images of Biden are from hacked material and violate some states’ revenge porn laws, according the CNN, which first reported on the legal threat. The attorneys also are seeking retractions of stories about claims that Biden and his father, President Joe Biden, engaged in a bribery scheme. The FBI later indicted an informant, Alexander Smirnov, for lying about the Biden claims. Prosecutors also have cited Smirnov’s contacts with Russian intelligence.

In a statement, Fox News Media said, “Hunter Biden’s lawyers have belatedly chosen to publicly attack Fox News’ constitutionally protected coverage regarding their client. Mr. Biden is a public figure who has been the subject of investigations by both the Department of Justice and Congress, has been indicted by two different U.S. Attorney’s Offices in California and Delaware, and has admitted to multiple incidents of wrongdoing. Consistent with the First Amendment, Fox News has accurately covered these highly publicized events as well as the subsequent indictment of an FBI informant who was the source of certain claims made about Mr. Biden.”

Some of the images appeared on The Trial of Hunter Biden , a fictionalized show that appeared on its subscription streaming service, Fox Nation.

Biden’s legal team also noted that despite the indictment of Smirnov, Fox News hosts have continued to claim that it was part of an effort to silence whistleblowers.
