Analysis by Aaron Blake: Rupert Murdoch's big admission about Fox News
Sidney Powell spouted the claim repeatedly — on Bartiromo’s, Dobbs’s, Pirro’s and Mark Levin’s shows. Mike Lindell, CEO of My Pillow, was also one of its chief promoters, even encouraging the electronic voting companies to sue him over it. As for the hosts themselves?
Dobbs’s comments are a case in point. He was clearly leaning in on the stolen election claims, but he didn’t explicitly link that “broadly coordinated effort” to Dominion. One could certainly infer that’s what he was implying, given Powell had been pushing these theories immediately before those comments, but they weren’t quite so direct.
What Murdoch and Fox seem to be doing is making the case that even as hosts were airing claims Fox executives might have known to be false or baseless, the hosts acted on their own. Murdoch in his deposition explained booking Lindell on air by saying, “It is not red or blue, it is green.”
