Rupert Murdoch’s bombshell deposition — in which he acknowledged that some Fox hosts endorsed false claims that the 2020 election was stolen — could be a game-changer for Dominion’s case
“It is not red or blue; it is green,” he told lawyers in a deposition made public Monday. But spreading falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election for the money may prove extremely costly for Fox. The network faces two separate defamation lawsuits from voting technology companies that collectively seek $4.3 billion in damages. Fox Corporation, the right-wing news outlet’s owner, has an estimated $4 billion in cash on hand, according to its latest earnings statement.
6 billion, accusing the network of spreading false claims that its technology enabled election fraud. A trial is set for April. A separate, similar case brought by voting technology firm Smartmatic is seeking $2.7 billion in damages. Media companies typically have insurance that would cover defamation payouts, though details of Fox’s coverage aren’t known.
