Fox Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch acknowledged that some Fox News commentators endorsed the false allegations by former President Donald Trump and his allies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and that he didn't step in to stop them from promoting the claims, according to excerpts of a deposition unsealed Monday.

The claims and the company's handling of them are at the heart of a defamation lawsuit against the cable news giant by Dominion Voting Systems.

An earlier filing showed a gulf between the stolen election narrative the network was airing in primetime and doubts about the claims raised by its stars behind the scenes. In one text, from Nov. 16, 2020, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said "Sidney Powell is lying” about having evidence for election fraud, referring to one of Trump's lawyers.

Murdoch was asked whether he could have requested that Powell and Giuliani not be put on the air: “I could have. But I didn't,” he replied. Attorneys for Fox Corp. note in their filing that Murdoch also testified that he never discussed Dominion or voter fraud with any of the accused Fox News hosts. They say Dominion has produced “zero evidentiary support” for the claim that high-level executives at Fox Corp. had any role in creating or publishing the statements at issue.

Where's the story about covid coming from a lab cp24? Are you embolden to China as well that you can't cover that story?

Let's go back 3 years and read all the comments of those who condemmed reports of a 'lab leak' as fake news. Sorry, but Fox has always had it right. 17M votes in excess of those registered? Um, okay.

There is no way joe Biden got the most votes in history. Come on man

Fox reporting fake news. Imagine that.

Murdoch you of all ppl know media has an agenda and they have to push that no matter what the reality is . Simple and plain , can you blame the host , they gotta please an audience and keep the ratings up

Took him 2 years to figure it out , what a joke

Will this story be valid once Murdoch is confirmed an Epstein client? I’m guessing no!

Media are all lying ghouls

Liar choir at Fox News has been outed, court documents suggestAll three news personalities promoted conspiracy theories, despite not believing them. Even their boss Rupert Murdoch knew that his TV cash-cow was broadcasting Donald Trump’s lies as truth, writing that perhaps it was time to admit that Joe Biden won the election. No one at Fox took him up on it. Had to be careful not to 'piss off' the audience. HarrisAuthor Hill Times has been outed, FOI requests show. Why did you receive a nearly $600k sole source contract from Public Works to continue promoting, in biased fashion, the tyrannical and unethical Lieberal Party of a once great Canada under their inept divisive leader, Justine Turdo?

Rail could take 10,000-25,000 truckloads of freight off Island roads: reportThe report by consultant HDR Corp., completed for the Transportation Ministry, says a rail system system could provide an alternative in the event of disruptions due to severe weather. Could should might may.... Not using this rail line shows just how much of a climate emergency is taking place. Repeal the carbon tax LoL. Funny. All the island's freight loading and unloading infrastructure was torn down decades ago. And anything left is in poor condition and can't be used. It would all have to be rebuilt costing hundreds of millions.
