A Delaware judge on Tuesday said that Fox News's parent company must face a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, ruling that the election company's allegations that Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch intentionally pushed election lies had enough merit to move the case forward.

Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis ruled in December that Dominion's $1.6 billion lawsuit could proceed against Fox News. The new decision denied a separate motion to dismiss the lawsuit from Fox Corporation, which is run by its chairman, Rupert Murdoch, and his son, CEO Lachlan Murdoch.

According to Davis, Dominion has sufficiently argued that the parent company may also be liable for pushing falsehoods claiming Dominion rigged the 2020 presidential election against then-President Donald Trump and in favor of now-President Joe Biden.

"Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch allegedly made a 'business calculation' to spread former President Trump's narrative through Fox News even though they did not personally believe it," Davis wrote, citing Dominion's filings. "Thus, Fox Corporation's employees and officers allegedly had 'direct responsibility' for airing the statements about Dominion."

So basically they're trying to take money from the messenger? According to the statement, Fox never claimed there was voter fraud, it was Trump?

That's NOT what they are saying. A Private company Dominion (voting machines) is suing FOX for continuing to push the theory that implicates them.
I hope FOX gets REKT here trash company on all fronts.

How can they be pushing falsehoods if they never claimed voting fraud happened? Objectively reporting what other people say without voicing their own opinion does not make them liable for anything.

It is generally accepted that Fox News provides biased reporting in favor of conservative political positions, the Republican Party, and Donald Trump. If you can accept that statement then you should be able to accept that sometimes they will make stories, or report made up stories to further their own agenda. thus we are where we are with this lawsuit.

Did they make up this story or take a side (saying voting fraud happened?) like CNN did with the Covington kid? That's why CNN lost their huge lawsuit, because they took a side opposing the Covington kid instead of being impartial and just reporting the story.
