‘Incredibly damning’: Fox News documents stun some legal experts, The Washington Post, February 23, 2023

[JohnEngelman]

The disclosure of behind-the-scenes emails and texts greatly increased the chances that Dominion will win its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox, experts say.​

The disclosure of emails and texts in which Fox News executives and personalities disparaged the same election conspiracies being floated on their shows has greatly increased the chances that a defamation case against the network will succeed, legal experts say.

Dominion Voting Systems included dozens of messages sent internally by Fox co-founder Rupert Murdoch and on-air stars such as Tucker Carlson in a brief made public last week in support of the voting technology company’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against the network. Dominion claims it was damaged in the months after the 2020 election after Fox repeatedly aired false statements that it was part of a conspiracy to fraudulently elect Joe Biden.

Dominion said the emails and texts show that Fox’s hosts and executives knew the claims being peddled by then-president Donald Trump’s lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell weren’t true — some employees privately described them as “ludicrous” and “mind blowingly nuts”— but Fox kept airing them to keep its audience from changing channels.

Because I enjoy investigating various points of view, press bias is not an issue for me. I accept that journalists may have different opinions from me, and that these may effect the way they report the news. What I demand of journalists is press honesty. The lies of Rush Limbaugh have been documented since 1994.

That was Klobuchar voicing concerns about vulnerabilities.

The Fox issue is them reporting that the machines were factually used in a conspiracy to steal an election with the only evidence coming from someone claiming to have gained the knowledge through some supernatural clairvoyance.
