#FoxNews anchor #BretBaier, acc/to the filing, notified #Fox News exec Jay Wallace that #MariaBartiromo was making false claims about the election. “None of that is true as far as we can tell,” he wrote. “We need to fact-check this crap.”

The filing, like the motions made by #Dominion in 2023, showed that many Fox hosts were concerned about audience backlash after Fox was the first network to call the state of Arizona for #Biden on election night 2020.

“Keep fighting,” #JeaninePirro told #SidneyPowell. #Fox settled a similar #defamation case brought by #Dominion for $787.5 million in 2023.

Pirro’s producer, Jerry Andrews, warned her directly to stay away from claims of election fraud as concerns spread internally about their veracity. “You should be very careful with this stuff & protect yourself given the ongoing calls for evidence that has not materialized,” he said.

Newsmax Will Pay Dominion Voting Systems $67 Million to Settle Lawsuit over 2020 Election Lies

Newsmax has agreed to pay $67 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems over the far-right TV channel’s repeated lies about the 2020 election. Following Joe Biden’s victory, Newsmax personalities and guests spread the baseless conspiracy theory that the election results were fraudulent and that Dominion’s voting hardware and software were to blame. The settlement comes more than two years after Fox News agreed to pay Dominion more than $787 million to settle a similar case.
