Rupert Murdoch acknowledged that top Fox News hosts “endorsed” on-air what they knew to be a false narrative – that the 2020 election was stolen – according to his testimony from a deposition revealed Monday.
Murdoch gave the sworn statement last month in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox. Parts of his deposition were included in a plaintiffs’ Monday filing in Delaware Superior Court.
Murdoch’s testimony essentially corroborates what Dominion asserted in a detailed filing earlier this month: That top hosts, including Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo were privately horrified that their network was pushing Donald Trump’s “stolen election” narrative – but went on-air with it anyway.
