Dominion filed a trove of internal Fox News documents earlier this month.

An attorney for Dominion Voting Systems accused Fox News on Wednesday of improperly redacting internal materials that the network was forced to hand over as part of Dominion's billion-dollar defamation suit against it.

"They're essentially redacting embarrassing information," attorney Davida Brook told the judge hearing the case.

The claim came during a pivotal summary judgment hearing in which each side has asked the judge to rule in their favor before the case is set to head to trial next month.


Dominion's $1.6 billion suit accuses Fox News of knowingly pushing false conspiracy theories about the voting machine company in the wake of the 2020 election, in order to combat concerns over ratings and viewer retention.

In February and March, Dominion filed bombshell findings from the discovery process containing a trove of emails, texts, testimony, and other private communications from some of Fox's biggest stars and executives, privately bashing Trump and his election fraud claims while they continued to broadcast them on air.......................

1. "a pivotal summary judgment hearing"

I.O.W. Fox needs to write a check to Dominion ASAP because they have the goods on News Corp.
and don't need this to go to a jury.

8. I think...

Dominion is choosing to go to trial on purpose. To expose these criminals for who and what they really are to everyone, wouldn't happen in a settlement. And all of this trial will be documented evidence for SmartMatic whose trial begins in weeks over the same charges, I think.

For tha reason alone, I say bring it, let the jury and everyone else hear everything, under oath, and let the evidence nail them again in another trial. I bet SmartMatic takes it to trial too, just to make sure nothing was overlooked.

Fox needs to die, I hope these two are the beginning of myriad lawsuits against them that only end when Fox is dead and gone.

11. "Fox needs to die."

They are a cancer on America.

13. Turns out it's Not Wise to

accuse a Voting Machine Company of Fraudulent Actions.. Especially when the one Accusing IS A BIG FAT FRUUD!.

22. One good consequence from corporatizing our vote counting

When you slander them, they can sue you. Imagine Trump slandering the ballot hand counters. He loves slandering volunteers and election officials.

Even the lever voting machines of the 1980s had a corporation involved.

An aside, Here's an indication of how corrupt Florida and some Southern states have always been.

"But during the election of 1876, when Republican Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, disputes over ballot counts in three Southern states—Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina—delayed the results of the presidential race. Because Republican officials were in the majority on the panels that certified votes, they called for recounts and quickly declared that the states had actually gone for Hayes. Democrats contested."

27. TY for the History lesson..

[Dustlawyer]

20. One of the settlement demands must be for Fox to admit what they did on air.

[Botany]

21. Fox was built on knowingly spreading lies and misinformation

And they have hurt America deeply with their actions. And they still are doing it 24/7 such as
talking about C-19 came from a lab in Wuhan and it is somehow Dr. Fauci's fault.

[Farmer-Rick]

25. I think the redactions maybe an effort to protect corporate board members

"Fox attorney Erin Murphy told the judge that Fox Corporation and its board members, including Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch and Paul Ryan, did "not belong in the case at all" because there was no evidence that they were directly involved in the news content in question."

2. Hope they nail FoxNews to the wall.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Isn't that obstruction?

[Roy Rolling]

4. Good Strategy

Dominion lawyers are challenging any/every submission to the court that depends on Fox adhering to “the honor system”.

Fox will never tell the truth, and Dominion is reminding the judge of that with every Fox legal document submitted.

9. +1

[Farmer-Rick]

23. Wow, you mean what we have heard already had involved some redaction?

Wow, it's pretty awful what Fox released already but it was redacted. So it's worse.....how bad does it get?

[Comfortably_Numb]

5. JFC, if they're redacting "embarrassing" stuff, what might that be? The shit we know about that pig

sty of a propaganda shop is humiliating as is….I’m shivering with antic……………pation.

[Farmer-Rick]

24. Yeah...it gets worse?

OMG how bad does it get?

[LiberalLovinLug]

6. How can Dominion ever prove this though?

Would there have to be another "special master" to go through the redactions to determine which ones were legitimately done to protect Fox's business operation secrets or preparatory information related to their business, and which ones were redacted unnecessarily?

[cstanleytech]

7. If it's things like saying Trump or anyone else was nuts or a liar that they

were concealing it is relevant to the case and helps prove Dominions case.

[Ford_Prefect]

10. Not the first time a Rupert Murdoch enterprise pulled that move.

[republianmushroom]

12. like it

nail them

[Wonder Why]

14. Fox thought they were being "sly"? Nah! Would they do sleazy things like that?

[/sarcasm]

[ificandream]

15. Hit 'em again. Harder. Harder.

[robbob]

16. Fox "improperly redacts" reality every night

and presents it to their flock as “fair and balanced” news. I guess they thought they could apply the same strategy in a courtroom?

[Marcuse]

17. No settlement. I want a show trial.

[Danascot]

18. Absolutely

Put all those lying fucks on the stand for everyone to see. The fox viewers especially need to see it for themselves. And we might get a few perjury charges out of it as a bonus.

[Aussie105]

19. Let it be, let it be . . .

The death of Fox will be wonderous to behold!

Can the Murdochs have their citizenships revoked and be deported as undesirable aliens?

[Martin68]

26. The usual repertoire of Fox tricks seems to be backfiring in court. Who would have guessed?

"I’m going to destroy Sidney Powell by promoting her 24/7 on FOX worldwide! That'll facilitate Y'all Qaeda's GOP Nat-C Fascist coup by constantly promulgating the lies that Democrats rigged the election and covered up what "really" happened Jan. 6th.

That’ll show her!”

May Darwin quickly serve them their just desserts.

May Darwin quickly serve to her, her just desserts.
