LurkerMom: FoxNews is number 1 in ratings for a reason. Nuff said.
No, not enough.
Interestingly, or coincidentally, Media Matters obtained a copy of the latest Dominion filing, featuring Rupert Murdoch's deposition. Murdoch admits, under oath, that Fox News, through its hosts, endorsed the former president's "stolen election" lies.
Q. You are aware now that Fox did more than simply host these guests and give them a platform; correct?
Murdoch: I think you've shown me some material in support of that.
Q. In fact, you are now aware that Fox endorsed at times this false notion of a stolen election?
Murdoch: Not Fox, No. Not Fox. But maybe Lou Dobbs, maybe Maria, as commentators.
Q. We went through Fox hosts Maria Bartiromo, yes?
Murdoch: Yes. C'mon.
Q. Fox host Jeanine Piro?
Murdoch: I think so.
Q. Fox Business host Lou Dobbs?
Murdoch: Oh, a lot.
Q. Fox host Sean Hannity?
Murdoch: A bit.
Q. All were in the document; correct?
Murdoch: Yes, they were.
Q. About Fox endorsing the narrative of a stolen election; correct?
Murdoch: No. Some commentators were endorsing it.
Q. About their endorsement of a stolen election?
Murdoch: Yes, they endorsed.
Also within the filing, Murdoch admits that Fox made these decisions to lie for two reasons: money and ratings.
