According to an email part of a trove of exhibits released in the Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox, Rupert Murdoch said that hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham maybe “went too far” in their coverage of voter fraud claims.

The reams of documents that became public on Tuesday offer a window into Fox’s internal deliberations as it covered the 2020 presidential election, alienating some viewers by being the first network to project that Biden would win the crucial state of Arizona. Fox has defended its coverage, arguing claims by Trump and his lawyers were inherently newsworthy and protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The network said in a statement the documents show Dominion using “distortions and misinformation” to “smear Fox News and trample on free speech.”
According to Dominion’s unsealed filings, Murdoch emailed a friend that the notion state legislators could change the election outcome - an idea then gaining traction on the right - “sound ridiculous. There’d be riots like never before.” Fox has said that Dominion’s “extreme” interpretation of defamation law would “stop the media in its tracks" and chill freedom of the press.
