The latest legal filings in Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News revealed that executives allowed hosts to air election conspiracy theories they knew were false.
Private text messages, emails, and deposition transcripts show that the network's top hosts and executives derided the stolen election claims in private but opted to air the conspiracy theories anyway to appeal to its viewers. Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch acknowledged in a deposition that some hosts "endorsed" the false claims but he chose not to do anything about it.
