Ex-Fox Reporter Sues: I Was Fired For Calling Out Lies

The Daily Beast reports:

Jason Donner, a former reporter for Fox News, is suing the right-wing network for retaliation and discrimination, alleging the conservative cable giant fired him because he opposed Fox’s “false coverage of the January 6th insurrection.”

Donner, who started at the network in 2010 and worked his way up to Capitol Hill reporter and producer, was terminated by the network in the fall of 2022. Since then, he has gone to work for Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) as a senior adviser.

Claiming he had already been reprimanded for a Nov. 2020 tweet fact-checking the infamous Rudy Giuliani press conference alleging rampant voting machine fraud, Donner says in the complaint that the “toxic environment for Fox News’ reporters attempting to report truthfully reached its peak” after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
