Fox News is facing another defamation lawsuit, this time from the former executive director of a Department of Homeland Security division tasked with monitoring the threat of disinformation
sued the network and parent Fox Corp. in Delaware Superior Court. That’s the same venue where Dominion Voting Systems was poised to go to trial in its case against the company before Fox agreed to pay a whopping $787.5 million to settle it.
But Fox News falsely claimed that she was trying to censor Americans’ speech, that she was fired from her position at the federal government, and that she wanted to give verified Twitter users, including herself, the power to edit others’ tweets, her lawsuit claimed. Her lawsuit singled out Jesse Watters and Tucker Carlson for saying that she was fired when, “as Carlson and Watters both knew, Jankowicz resigned due to harassment arising from Fox’s defamation.” The lawsuit also cites comments made by a number of other current and former network personalities, including Maria Bartiromo, Dan Bongino and Harris Faulkner.

Fox Corp. dinged by Dominion settlement in third quarterFox Corp. moved to a loss in its fiscal third quarter, weighed down by Fox News’ nearly $800 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. The company said Tuesday that the difference in its performance was mostly due to charges related to legal settlement costs at Fox News Media. The company still topped Wall Street expectations. Fox News agreed to pay Dominion to avert a trial in the voting machine company’s lawsuit that would have exposed how the network promoted lies about the 2020 presidential election.
