Dominion Uses Fox CEO’s Own Words Against Network, Court Rules Dominion Can See Contracts Of Fox Execs

October 6, 2022 Fox News, Trump cultists

NPR reports:

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 Daily Beast reports:



In a court proceeding earlier this week, Dominion’s lawyer Justin Nelson revealed Scott’s remarks while arguing that his legal team should be able to review the employment contract of 13 Fox News executives, including Scott’s. Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis ruled on Wednesday that Dominion is entitled to the contracts.

Additionally, Nelson argued that senior Fox News executives tried to stop pro-Trump network stars Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo from booking Trump’s campaign lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell on their shows in the aftermath of the election to push baseless voter fraud conspiracies.
