https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/murdoch-emails-loom-large-billion-dollar-election-lawsuits-against-fox-news-2021-12-14/Dec 14 (Reuters) - Did Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch influence Fox News coverage of claims about two voting technology companies knowing that those claims were false?
That has become a significant question in defamation lawsuits filed by Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems Corp against Fox News and its parent company Fox Corp (FOXA.O). The plaintiffs are asking for more than $4 billion in damages from the media giant, on-air talent such as Maria Bartiromo and guests including Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, lawyers aligned with former U.S. President Donald Trump.

(15,556 posts)if you pay for cable, an average of $1.72 goes to Fox every month. They don't need advertisers or to sell stock.
