Dominion filing is 'absolute nightmare fuel' for Fox News' lawyers: legal expert

Raw Story  

The explosive court filing made this week by Dominion Voting Systems revealed multiple Fox News hosts and producers didn't believe many of the false claims that were airing on their network. In one example, Gary Schreier, senior vice president of programming for Fox Business, said in private messages to Fox Business News President Lauren Petterson that he believed host Maria Bartiromo was spouting some "crazy sh*t," to which Petterson replied that Bartiromo needed to "get off social all together." In another telling set of messages, the lawsuit notes that Ron Mitchell, the Fox News Senior Vice President of Primetime Programming and Analytics, repeatedly ridiculed attorney Sidney Powell's claims about Dominion's machines being part of a conspiracy set in motion by the late Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez to steal the election from Trump. Fox News has pushed back against Dominion's claims, however, and has accused the firm of "cherry picking" quotes to make the network appear deceptive.
