In one revealing December 2020 text exchange, former Fox News managing editor for Washington Bill Sammon called the 2020 election an “existential crisis” for the network.
Fox News faced a new crisis Thursday after a Delaware judge unsealed hundreds of pages of damning text messages, testimony and emails from top executives and its most famous faces—adding to the trove of explosive documents releasedFirst reported by, the documents show a network at war with itself over how to handle then-President Donald Trump and his repeated false claims in the days following the 2020 election.
His colleague Chris Stirewalt, one of the network’s politics editors, agreed: “What I see us doing is losing the silent majority of viewers as we chase the nuts off a cliff.” “I’ve seen no evidence that they did,” Murdoch answers in a Jan. 19 deposition when asked if he believes Dominion committed election fraud by rigging the 2020 presidential election.
In a Nov. 19 email, Murdoch describes a Rudy Guiliani press conference promoting Trump as “stupid and damaging.” In texts surrounding a Fox appearance by Trump attorney Sidney Powell, Fox officials texted each other to say Trump attorney Sidney Powell was “problematic” and “crazy”.
