A judge in Delaware has found that Fox News' coverage of election fraud after the 2020 election may have been inaccurate, and is allowing a major defamation case against the right-wing TV network to move forward.
Judge Eric Davis of the Delaware Superior Court declined to dismiss Dominion Voting System's lawsuit against Fox News in a significant ruling Thursday.
The ruling will now allow Dominion to attempt to unearth extensive communications within Fox News as they gather evidence for the case, and the company may be able to interview the network's top names under oath.
At this stage, the court must assume Dominion's claims about Fox News are true.
Still, Davis called out, in the 52-page opinion, that Fox News may have slanted its coverage to push election fraud, knowing the accusations were wrong.
Dominion alerted the network's anchors and executives to information that disproved accusations of widespread vote-switching following Donald Trump's re-election loss, the judge noted.

This is dangerous.
What ever happened to discovery? Doesn’t seem like attorneys for FoxNews and/or other defendants have been able to get much information or data out of Dominion.
I would think that discovery works both ways.
faux news was dominions best pal after the election. As I recall it, faux was reporting it was the safest and most secure election in history. And accused Trump of falsely claiming the election was rigged. I have not watched faux news since the fraudulent election of biden.
Appointed by FAR lefty dem Gov. Jack Markell.
Why does THEIR defamation suit get to proceed because it might be misinformation but Mike Lindell’s got dismissed because they were statements of opinion?
More BS.
Wait until Dominion gets to nut case Mike Lindell.
You will be buying your pillows and such from Dominion.
“This is dangerous.”
It is but mostly to Dominion because now the lawyers for Fox can move on to discovery.
Silence dissenters.
Silence freedom of speech.
Elections are to be controlled by The State and are to replace apparatchiks of The State with other apparatchiks of The State.
Anyone stepping outside these dictates will be punished.
A judge is letting a suit “move forward”. Not sure this means that its time to panic on behalf of Fox News.
Based on the machine errors found in Atrim Co. MI the Fox lawyers should demand that Dominion produce the adjudication rate for every one of their machines in use in the 2020 election. Truth is an absolute defense in a defamation suit.
Unfortunately, things will never actually get this far. Both side’s lawyers will settle once Fox agrees to apologize and never discuss voting machine fraud again.
Fox CALLED the fraudulent elections in Arizona and Virginia....
Past time to stop the lawfare. Remember when the courts were not enemies of the Republic? I don’t.
A pissant Judge Eric Davis of the Delaware Superior Court, repeat of the Delaware Superior Court, figures that given his relationship to the state’s Democrat Party machine he can act the tail that wags that tired old dog of a Constitution. If anything, FOX was remiss in its reporting.
Excellent news. The false and misleading information against this company was outrageous.
Can we stop with the “what about discovery” nonsense? I’ve been hearing that for so long here but have never seen any indication that Dominion is afraid of discovery. The real discovery will be that Giuliani, Powell, etc. served up a bunch of b*llsh*t and a whole lot of people lapped it up.
And the parade of stooge "judges" marches on...
