Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott warned colleagues not to 'give the crazies an inch' after the 2020 elections. Dominion Voting Systems revealed her words in its $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox.
Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott warned colleagues not to"give the crazies an inch" after then President Donald Trump and his allies pressured the network. Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems indicate they to use Scott's words against Fox in its $1.6 billion defamation suit against the network.
That's according to the account of a lawyer for Dominion Voting Systems, which is seeking $1.6 billion from Fox in a defamation suit over false allegations on the network that the company committed election fraud. A trial date is set for April in Delaware. For days after the election, Trump and his top aides demanded the network rescind its announcement of Biden's victory in Arizona, even pressuring the network's controlling owners, Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch. In the weeks that followed, a cadre of Fox News stars hosted Trump's advisers — and even Trump himself — to peddle baseless conspiracy theories of election fraud.
In his exchanges with the judge, Keller, the Fox attorney, drew a line distinguishing between a host or producer"who are sometimes pre-scripting material for the show that is going to be tethered to a specific channel's telecast" and a network executive. Nelson, the Dominion attorney, retorted by citing a document obtained from Fox that"talks about the daily editorial meeting that occurs, including almost all of these executives that we're looking at right now."
"Fox sought to profit off a lie. That's the allegation," Judge Davis summarized."Whether that's true or not, we'll stay for the trial.", journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser reveal that Fox anchor Bret Baier cited intense pressure from Trump's team to explore whether and under what circumstances the Arizona call could be reversed. Fox did not withdraw its projection.
