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.

A headline about then-president Donald Trump is displayed outside Fox News studios in New York on Nov. 28, 2018. Fox Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch acknowledged in a deposition that some Fox News commentators endorsed the false allegations by Trump and his allies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and that he did not step in to stop them from promoting the claims.

The unsealed documents include excerpts from a deposition in which Murdoch was asked about whether he was aware that some of the network's commentators — Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro and Sean Hannity — at times endorsed the electoral fraud claims. Murdoch replied, "Yes. They endorsed." Murdoch was asked in his deposition whether he could have requested that Powell and Giuliani not be put on the air.According to multiple U.S. media reports regarding the unsealed deposition, Murdoch also shared unaired Biden campaign ads with Trump son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner.

Dominion, which has its American headquarters in Colorado, is suing both Fox News Network and parent company Fox Corp. for defamation and is asking for $1.6 billion US in damages. Furthermore, Dominion has said, rulings in other cases establish precedent that publishers can't hide behind the fact the false utterances were made by non-employees.

Lawyers for Fox Corp. noted in Monday's 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.

Unfounded allegations = allegations not investigated

China has placed spies in the house and Senate and has donated to the Trudeau foundation to influence government policy in their favour and to our detriment and Trudeau is trying to cover it up. Who the hell cares what FOX news did?

Is CBC upset that Fox let's their reporters do their own stories? It's gotta be hard having Trudeau dictate what stories your allowed to do, or lose your funding! Where's your news about China interfering in the election? Trudeau say not to report it? I prefer news not propaganda

Elections in US are bought, not stolen.

Not just FOX news, the far left media owned by the Democrats lie as well. You have to think for yourself.

CBC reported daily for years the unfounded and ultimately debunked story that Russia colluded with Trump to win the 2016 election .... Pot meet Kettle

But he probably loved the ratings.

Pedo Joe Biden didn't win

This is Canada where is the Chinese election interference headlines involving her hero Trudeau CBC! Deflection and ignore helping the master try to weather the storm!! But the storm is too BIG

Hmmmm a warning for DefundTheCBC

CBC panelist defending Trudeau's election interference is much much worse.

Seriously? Reporting on this but not the crazy CPC infiltration into the liberal party right here at home? Pathetic

Our election was stolen, the Chinese helped get Trudeau elected in a sham election.

Hey, now do the CBC with Covid misinformation!

Much like the CBC did for Trudeau during the trucker protest - Russia money is funding the convoy!!! Hypocrites and corrupt

Wonder how many didn’t step in to prevent on-air personalities from airing 4 unfounded allegations regarding the Freedom Convoy? It’s funny when you criticize others for doing exactly the same thing you do. There is a word for that. Doubt any ‘journalists’ there know it.

Defund the CBC

Where is news on China/Trudeau/Liberal/Elections interference

OK..for all the people defending FOX and trying to deflect to the click bait generating NOT CONFIRMED story from Global..here you are. “Global News has not confirmed the CSIS allegations in this story.”

Hey CBC, Are there any stories you want to run about how *Canadian* elections may have been unduly influenced? Any breaking news on that front? Didn’t think so.

Meanwhile CBC has nothing on Trudeau today.

It’s all BS. No wonder conspiracy theories and misinformation/disinformation gain so much traction. Stop making news entertainment. That goes for you too CBC

Fox duped the dupes and they won’t care

Canadians don't care about election corruption in the US. Canadians care about election corruption in Canada.

It seems like should be reporting on another election related story today? Maybe one that's a bit more relevant to Canada....

Hamilton 68 shows the election was stolen. Conservative view points falsely labeled Russian propaganda by US intelligence for years. Thousands of news articles generated, hard to imagine that not having an impact on the election

DefundCBC

CBC endorsed lockdowns 'two weeks to flatten the curve'. Waiting for admitting wrong doings
