Besieged by angry viewers, denounced by then-President Trump, questioned by some of its own stars, Fox News found itself in a near-impossible spot on Election Night 2020 after its election-analysis team announced before any other network that Joe Biden would win the pivotal swing state of Arizona.
Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott proved so flummoxed by what ensued that she warned colleagues, "We can't give the crazies an inch."
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.
The voting machine and technology company's attorney, Justin Nelson, revealed Scott's remarks in a court proceeding earlier this week, in which he argued that Dominion's legal team is entitled to receive the employment contracts of 13 Fox News executives, including Scott. She has served as CEO since 2018. (Dominion is also suing Fox Corp., the network's parent company.)
...
According to Nelson's remarks at the hearing, senior Fox News executives interceded to try to block Fox Business stars Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo from having Trump's campaign attorneys, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, on their shows to repeat such lies. In late 2020, Dobbs and Bartiromo hosted Trump's advocates to make those accusations.
Fox's attorney, Justin Keller, did not dispute the remarks attributed by Nelson to Fox News CEO Scott. Nor did he deny that executives sought to intervene in the two programs' efforts to book Powell and Giuliani even though their claims had been discredited. Instead, he made a broader argument against allowing scrutiny of the executives' contracts, saying that was unnecessary given how many documents the network has already turned over to Dominion.
I still believe God is going to expose it all about the election. At their most arrogant and prideful moment. Suzanne Scott seems pretty proud of herself these days.
I hope Fox has to pay, but not for the reasons they’re being sued for.
A Conservative needs to buy Fox and clean house.
Indeed DOJ turns lights off.
You realize all the approved observers, from both parties, were inside that room when they blocked some of the windows, right?
If that were so (all approved observers already INSIDE) explain why they STILL blocked the windows!
That's absolutely NO excuse to block windows. NONE. NADA. ZILCH.
Try again.
Go get 'em lefty!
“The more we dig into this and try to get information, I think the more we realize that we don’t know anything.”
Election chief on Democrat DeKalb County GA (East Atlanta). per AJC.
He is not speaking of 2020. He is speaking of the elections mess in 2022. We need to put 2020 0n hold and focus on 2022. Fool me one, ..... Fool me twice..... who is the fool?
You realize we all actually LIVED THROUGH THIS EVENT, in real time, and OBSERVED the Democrats kicking out Republican observers, so you can't lie to our faces, right?
“When President Joe Biden spoke about the nuclear risk of “Armageddon” during a fundraiser this week in New York City, it was at the home of James and Kathryn Murdoch. The youngest son of billionaire Rupert Murdoch, James is an heir to his father’s media fortune, including a trust that will control Fox News.”

“You realize all the approved observers, from both parties, were inside that room when they blocked some of the windows, right?”
You realize that the Democrat observers didn’t complain. I wonder why?
I only know what they said, which was people (not the approved challengers) were photographing and videotaping things so they blocked some of the windows to prevent from revealing personal information.
As far as I know no one is claiming there weren’t Republican observers in the room.
Don't give the left credit for wanting to deal in facts.
So, free people who expect HONEST elections are “crazies”???
Who’s the REAL crazy?..
Everything the left said Republicans would do, is exactly what they planned. They said Trump would try to stop the count etc.
Stopped watching fox years ago.
