Fox News attorneys defend 'outlandish' election fraud claims in new legal filing in Dominion case

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Fox News lawyers justified "outlandish" claims its hosts made about Dominion Voting Systems in a new filing last week in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit.

Attorneys for the conservative network filed sealed motions asking the court to dismiss the case before it goes to trial in April and offering "omitted context" -- which included long-debunked claims -- for remarks by hosts Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and their guests, including Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, reported NPR.

"There is not a single statement for which Dominion can prove every element of its claim for defamation," the network's lawyers said.

Fox lawyers brought up since-disproven claims that the use of Sharpie markers in Maricopa County, Arizona, had invalidated Trump votes and allegations of voter fraud in Detroit, and they filed a sworn deposition from an anonymous witness who claims to be a former member of the Venezuelan presidential security team and accused Dominion of committing election fraud in the U.S.

Doubling down on bullshit.

1. That's a very narrowly-tailored denial

"There is not a single statement for which Dominion can prove every element of its claim for defamation," the network's lawyers said.

But all of the statements aired by Fox, taken together, can almost certainly show every element of a claim for defamation. Fox would really like to adjudicate each statement separately while Dominion would like the totality of Fox's statements to be considered.

2. Very hard to win a Libel suit in America.

Especially against seasoned liars/propagandists.

Dominion's got a lot of footage though.
