Fox News loses bid to dismiss Dominion defamation lawsuit over election coverage

WASHINGTON, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Fox News Network on Thursday lost its attempt to dismiss a $1.6 billion lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems Inc, a voting machine company that says Fox defamed it by amplifying conspiracy theories about its technology.

In a written ruling, Delaware court judge Eric Davis said Dominion had sufficiently alleged it was defamed by Fox News' 2020 election coverage and the case should proceed toward trial.

"At this stage, it is reasonably conceivable that Dominion has a claim for defamation per se," Davis said in his ruling. "Accordingly, Fox’s Motion should be denied."

Dominion's lawsuit, filed in March, accused Fox of trying to boost its TV ratings by amplifying false conspiracy theories that the company rigged the presidential election against Republican Donald Trump, who lost to Joe Biden, a Democrat.

*********
Fox really is a cancer on America and they should not be allowed to use the word "News" in their title.
BTW 1/6/21 was also a Fox News fueled riot in order to promote "The Big Lie."

I don't know if she could make a case but I wish Hillary would sue the shit out of Fox. I expect that Fox
is gonna make an on air correction/apology very soon.
