Fox Sinks on Second Election Fraud Defamation Lawsuit

Investing.com -- Fox Corp Class B (NASDAQ:FOX) fell 10% after Dominion Voting System filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News Network for accusing the company of rigging the 2020 presidential election.

The lawsuit says Fox  endorsed,  repeated  and  broadcast  devastating  lies  about  Dominion, including that it committed election fraud by rigging the election, that the company is owned by a Venezuelan company that rigged elections for Hugo Chavez and that it paid kickbacks to government officials who used its machines.

"Fox recklessly disregarded the truth," Dominion said in a suit filed in Delaware on Friday. "Indeed, Fox knew these statements about Dominion were lies."

Dominion isn't the first to file such an action against Fox News. Last month, election technology company Smartmatic filed suit against Fox News for making it into a villain and perpetuating false claims about the recent election, NPR reported. That suit is seeking more than $2.7 billion.

Dominion is seeking at least $1.6 billion in lost profits and enterprise value, plus more than $1 million in security expenses and expenses combating disinformation. 

In response, Fox News said it "is proud of our 2020 election coverage, which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism, and will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit in court," NPR reported.

  •            Enrich the conversation, don’t trash it.

  •           Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed. 

  •           Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically. Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user. Racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination will not be tolerated.

  • Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases. Comments that are written in all caps and contain excessive use of symbols will be removed.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and comments containing links will be removed. Phone numbers, email addresses, links to personal or business websites, Skype/Telegram/WhatsApp etc. addresses (including links to groups) will also be removed; self-promotional material or business-related solicitations or PR (ie, contact me for signals/advice etc.), and/or any other comment that contains personal contact specifcs or advertising will be removed as well. In addition, any of the above-mentioned violations may result in suspension of your account.
  • Doxxing. We do not allow any sharing of private or personal contact or other information about any individual or organization. This will result in immediate suspension of the commentor and his or her account.
  • Don’t monopolize the conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also strongly believe in giving everyone a chance to air their point of view. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended.

Wasn't the same in 2016 when Reuters, CNN and all main stream media were" covering" Russia and Trump collusion. Still waiting for proof. Vestnik "Pravda" is more trusted news outlet.

After we find out exactly how many votes we need, then send manufactured ballots across state lines, then pull out some boxes out extra ballots from under this table, but make sure to send home all the supervising volunteers first... and oh, those thousands of people, some of whom were Dems, that provided affidavits of eyewitness accounts of fraud? Ya, those people are all crazy and conspiring against freedom.

Of course the election was rigged... you don't go from up several 100k+ votes to just losing after a mysterious simultaneous moratorium in counting across several states. Whole thing is a joke. And do people actually think Biden is making policy decisions? lol.
