Rudy Guiliani and Sidney Powell on Fox News. A jury is to hear Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News in April. But in the court of public opinion, Dominion has already presented a damning case that has damaged the cable network’s reputation, according to experts.
Dominion alleges that Fox's decision to promote these false claims was part of a cynical strategy to recover viewers loyal to Trump, who had abandoned the network for other conservative outlets like Newsmax after Fox reported, accurately, that Joe Biden had taken Arizona. This, effectively, meant that the election was over and that Trump had lost.
Freedman told Yahoo News that if news organizations publish or broadcast factually inaccurate material, it is typically the result of an honest mistake, not a deliberate decision.Maybe there was sloppy reporting, maybe the verification wasn't done carefully enough. Maybe even some self-interested actor successfully planted information with a news organization," he said."But none of those apply here.
Dominion has accused Fox News of broadcasting approximately 115 defamatory statements about Dominion’s voting machines, many of which, it says, were made after Dominion began sending “at least a dozen separate and widely-circulated fact check emails each pointing to verifiable third-party information debunking the claims.”
Freedman argued that there is a “straight line” between Fox’s decision to give credibility to the fraud claims and the events of Jan. 6.'Serve the public' Examples of this included in the fillings include a Nov. 12 text chain between hosts Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, in which Carlson complained that one Fox reporter, Jacqui Heinrich, should be fired for fact-checking a tweet from Trump, which referred to Fox News' coverage of supposedly rigged voting machines.
Freedman emphasized that “there is nothing untoward about being a for-profit news organization,” noting that “there are plenty of responsible, ethical news organizations that worry about their stock price. If you're in a capitalist economy, that's a reasonable worry.”
