Did Fox News actively promote the conspiracy theory that implicated Dominion Voting Systems in a "massive fraud" that supposedly denied Donald Trump a second term? Or did Fox merely report what the president and his representatives were saying?
Those questions are at the heart of the defamation lawsuit that Dominion filed against Fox in March 2021. For obvious reasons, Fox prefers the second interpretation. But in response to questions from Dominion's lawyers, Fox Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch conceded that several Fox News and Fox Business hosts had "endorsed" the unsubstantiated fraud allegations that Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell made on their shows after the 2020 presidential election.
