Summary
Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch said some anchors of company's TV networks parroted false fraud claims in months following 2020 election. In new filings as part of Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox and its networks, Murdoch said he doubted claims being aired on Fox News and Fox Business Network. Fox News has denied knowingly making false claims about the election, and Murdoch and other Fox executives have been questioned in connection with the lawsuit. Fox has also targeted Dominion's private-equity owner in court papers, and a representative for Fox News reiterated in a statement that Dominion mischaracterized facts. The lawsuit is being closely monitored by First Amendment watchdogs and experts.
