Re: "Fox News is under an enormous, ongoing lawsuit. Look it up."

I have not heard one word about it.

Tell me the basic details.

Then, I will decide about looking it up.

From Wikipedia:

'On February 4, 2021, Smartmatic sued Fox Corporation, Fox News Network, and its anchors Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, and Jeanine Pirro for $2.7 billion in the New York State Supreme Court as well as Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, who spread baseless claims of election fraud on Fox. The 276-page complaint alleges that Fox, its anchors, Giuliani, and Powell spread a "conspiracy to defame and disparage Smartmatic and its election technology and software" by making new business opportunities increasingly scarce. Since February 5, Dobbs has been replaced with other anchors at Fox Business. On August 17, 2021, a New York State Supreme Court judge questioned lawyers for Powell, Giuliani, and Fox News about the claims made about Smartmatic. On November 3, 2021, Smartmatic sued Newsmax and One America News Network for promoting false claims of election fraud. On January 18, 2022, Smartmatic sued Mike Lindell and My Pillow for defamation, accusing Lindell of defaming the company to sell pillows.

'A New York State Supreme Court judge ruled in March 2022 that the suit against Fox News could proceed, though he dismissed allegations against Powell and Pirro, and some claims against Giuliani. The judge allowed allegations against Bartiromo and Dobbs to stand.'
