JUST IN: Fox News stars, journalists and executives knew the claims of election fraud they put on the air in late 2020 were baseless. But they condemned their own journalists for pointing that out.
The claims against the election tech company recurred on Fox News' despite Dominion sending thousands of communications dissecting and disproving the false claims - even taking to the opinion pages of its corporate cousin, the, to do so. Dominion says it sent more than 3,600 communications to Fox staffers taking issue with the false claims of election fraud.
For its part, Fox's attorneys call Dominion's suit an attempt to punish the news network for reporting on"one of the biggest stories of the day." The network says it could dissuade journalists in the future from reporting allegations"inconvenient to Dominion—and other companies." "There will be a lot of noise and confusion generated by Dominion and their opportunistic private equity owners," Fox News said in a statement today."The core of this case remains about freedom of the press and freedom of speech, which are fundamental rights afforded by the Constitution and protected by New York Times v. Sullivan."Under the high legal bar of actual malice, defined in that 1964 U.S.
The following week, a producer for Ingraham sent a note conveying similar disgust."This dominion s--- is going to give me a f---ing aneurysm."
