Kind of proves FOX is in the business of lying. Their on-air talent knows they are lying.
FOX viewers need the lies to stay captive. It's a massive cesspool of deception killing our families, relationships, and country.

Fox News Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them
Dominion accused Fox of defaming it by repeatedly airing, in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election, false allegations by Trump allies that its machines and the software they used had flipped votes to Biden — even as many at the network doubted the claims and disparaged those who were making them.
The company sued both Fox News and its parent, Fox Corp., and said its business had been significantly damaged.
During a deposition, Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, who founded the network, testified that he believed the 2020 election was fair and had not been stolen from Trump.
"Fox knew the truth," Dominion argued in court papers. "It knew the allegations against Dominion were 'outlandish' and 'crazy' and 'ludicrous' and 'nuts.' Yet it used the power and influence of its platform to promote that false story."

Ten days after the 2020 election, Fox News' so-called Brain Room looked into conspiracy theories that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the presidential election against Donald Trump.
The fact-checking and research division of the network came back with a clear decision: Those claims were false. But the misinformation went on the air anyway.
Details of the Brain Room's fact-check were revealed Wednesday in newly released slides from a presentation by Dominion, which the company showed at last week's pretrial hearing in its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News and its parent company, Fox Corp. The slides cite internal communications and testimony.
Fox News had redacted the Brain Room findings, but the judge ordered Tuesday that they be made public.
Testimony from Fox’s own executives underscored the importance of the Brain Room’s role in verifying information that goes on the air.
“If the brain room had concluded that the charges were, in fact, false, they never should have been aired, correct?” a Dominion lawyer asked David Clark, Fox News’ senior vice president for weekend news and programming, in a deposition on Oct. 21.
“Yes,” Clark replied.

They lied to the public about the election being stolen but their private communications proves that they knew they were lying.
The good news is, Dominion has more lawsuits pending.
There’s no telling how a legal case will really turn out, but my only regret is that there won’t be any courtroom footage of Rupert Murdoch admitting under oath that he lied and he knew he was lying.
