The judge in the defamation case against Fox News signaled his interest in the duty that executives like Rupert Murdoch might have to stop known liars from going on-air.
The judge in the Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation case against Fox News signaled his interest Wednesday in the duty that executives like Rupert Murdoch might have to stop known liars from going on-air, and suggested he might force Murdoch to testify. Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis repeatedly pressed a Fox News lawyer about the role of top executives in the editorial process.
First, she said, Dominion had claimed that “nobody could have believed” that it rigged the 2020 election, and therefore Fox was reckless when it gave airtime to those allegations. But when it was time to calculate damages for the lawsuit, Dominion had claimed they’re “going to go out of business because everybody believes this, and all of customers believe this,” she said. “There’s a bit of cognitive dissonance,” Murphy said.
