Fox is facing a $1.6 billion defamation suit alleging that employees knew claims that the 2020 election was stolen were false but continued to broadcast them.
The News Corp. building, home to Fox News, is pictured on March 20, 2019, in New York City. In the insert, Rupert Murdoch, executive of Fox Corporation, is pictured at The Plaza Hotel on November 19, 2019, in New York City. In new court filings released as part of a defamation suit against how Fox covered the 2020 election, Murdoch said during a deposition that some Fox News hosts"endorsed" false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
"Under Dominion's approach, if the President falsely accused the Vice President of plotting to assassinate him, the press would be liable for reporting the newsworthy allegation so long as someone in the newsroom thought it was ludicrous," the network added in its own filing released Monday, Reuters reported.
