Rupert Murdoch: Dominion's Fox News lawsuit reveals he's an ineffectual chump.

Slate  

Rupert Murdoch has earned his reputation as a ruthless, larger-than-life tycoon. The voting machine company Dominion is suing Murdoch’s Fox News network for defamation because of unproven and frequently outlandish allegations made on the channel about Dominion’s purported role in “rigging” the 2020 election against Donald Trump. Consider the order of events the lawsuit lays out: • Even before Joe Biden was widely projected as the winner of the election, Murdoch emailed a Fox executive to say that Trump would likely not be able to “credibly cry foul everywhere,” i.e., claim that fraud had taken place in every key state he lost. • Murdoch emailed one of his sons on the day that the election was widely called in Biden’s favor to express relief that Fox had not been the first outlet to make such a call, writing that it would save them from a “Trump explosion.” As late as Nov. 16, Murdoch was privately writing to a Fox executive that “Trump will concede eventually.” • Trump “cried foul” and never conceded. Hannity cheerled Trump’s effort to overturn the election, even as behind the scenes, Murdoch and other executives emailed each other their misgivings about the “evidence” of fraud that was being aired.
