In his first public comments since the recent bombshell revelations in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit brought against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems, Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch defended the cable news network Thursday and dismissed the headlines surrounding the highly-watched case.

“I think a lot of the noise that you hear about this case is actually not about the law, and it's not about journalism,” Murdoch added. “It's really about politics, right? And that's unfortunately more reflective of just the sort of polarized society that we live in today.” Attorneys for Fox News have said that the network was simply “reporting on one of the biggest stories of the day” — allegations by the sitting president of the United States that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
Private communications from Lachlan Murdoch and his father, Rupert Murdoch, Fox chairman and founder, were also among those unsealed in court.
