Murdoch admitted Fox News hosts had endorsed on air the view that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump in deposition excerpts from a defamation suit.
The lawsuit not only provides a legal test of the extent to which a news outlet can publish unfounded allegations, but its outcome could also have legal implications for Trump and his allies who have espoused the claims.
Lawyers for Dominion argue that Murdoch's statements demonstrate the reports were not neutral and that the opinion defense fails if the statements are based on falsity. Deposition excerpts show Fox chiefs agreeing that those in management had an obligation to prevent falsehoods from being aired. They also argue that Murdoch engaged in the editorial process, quoting him as saying:"I'm a journalist at heart. I like to be involved in these things."
