Fox Chairman Rupert Murdoch said that hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham maybe ‘went too far’ in their coverage of voter fraud claims, according to an email in a trove of exhibits in a defamation lawsuit against Fox
More than 6,500 pages were released on Tuesday, although the full extent of the evidence is not clear as many filings are heavily redacted.
In one exhibit, Murdoch emailed Fox News President Suzanne Scott on Jan. 21, 2021, asking: “Is it ‘unarguable that high profile Fox voices fed the story that the election was stolen and that January 6th an important chance to have the result overturned'? Maybe Sean and Laura went too far. All very well for Sean to tell you he was in despair about Trump but what did he tell his viewers?”
“Stupid and damaging," Murdoch continued, referring to a news conference by then-Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. "The only one encouraging Trump and misleading him. Both increasingly mad. The real danger is what he might do as president.” Fox’s exhibits include more context of testimony and messages that it says Dominion “cherry-picked” and “misrepresented” in its summary judgment filing.
