When Fox News Channel was first introduced to the news industry, its top management told the public that Fox’s mission is to deliver “fair and balanced” news. But that turned out to be a lie.
Documents presented in the Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox clearly show that Fox is not a news organization, but a partisan propaganda machine with no allegiance to journalistic principles. Such documents revealed numerous episodes of deception, hypocrisy and greed among the network’s top executives and “host stars” who knew the 2020 election was not stolen. And yet they continued to tell their viewers that it was stolen.
Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion (plus punitive damages) in lost profits and “reputational harm.” Many legal experts agree that it has the truth on its side. I hope that Dominion prevails and that Fox receives a financial death penalty as a ringing warning to all media companies to keep themselves in check and uphold the truth.
