A recent filing in Dominion Voting System‘s $1.6 billion defamation suit against the network spotlights problematic editorial decisions that came from the very top.
how Fox News executives and stars privately mocked the pro-Trump claims but continued to give them a platform, Dominion argues, in the hopes of juicing ratings and profit. Murdoch in Monday’s filing appeared to confirm just as much himself: Asked why Fox continued to feature MyPillow CEO and conspiracy theorist, Murdoch suggested the move was a business decision, rather than a political one. He agreed with an attorney for Dominion's suggestion that “It is not red or blue, it is green.
Fox News, for its part, has attempted to paint Dominion's legal offensive as both specious and legally wrongheaded. “Dominion’s lawsuit has always been more about what will generate headlines than what can withstand legal and factual scrutiny,” Fox said in a statement.
Dominion needs to prove that Fox acted with “actual malice”—that the network’s hosts and executives knew what was being said on air was false and let it happen anyway, or acted with a “reckless disregard” for the truth—in order to win, which is a high bar to meet. New information presented in Dominion’s filing on Monday seemed to bolster their case, including that Fox
about Dominion “after Fox’s own research department—the Brainroom—had fact-checked the allegations and debunked the charges,” and that Dominion “repeatedly tried to have its representativeappear on Fox’s programs in December 2020, specifically reaching out to producers for Dobbs, Bartiromo, and Pirro—and Fox did not accept the offers.”
