Further revelations about Fox Corp executives were unveiled in Dominion Voting Systems court papers filed Monday.
Text messages and testimony have shown Fox executives and Fox's TV anchors were skeptical about claims that the election between Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Trump, a Republican, was rigged.
A representative for Fox News reiterated in a statement on Monday that Dominion mischaracterized the facts by cherry-picking soundbites: "When Dominion is not mischaracterizing the law, it is mischaracterizing the facts." A Dominion spokesperson said Monday, "The damages claim remains. As Fox well knows, our damages exceed $1.6 billion."
"I'm a journalist at heart. I like to be involved in these things," Murdoch said during his deposition testimony, according to court papers. Ryan also told both Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch "that Fox News should not be spreading conspiracy theories," according to the filings. Fox executives shut down Trump's attempt to appear on the network's air that evening, after he dialed into on-air personality Lou Dobbs' show in the afternoon, court filings show.
