Fox News, Trump allies sued for $2.7B over election disinformation

$2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox News, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell over 'disinformation campaign.'
The lawsuit, filed in New York state court, accused Fox, Giuliani, Powell and hosts Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, and Jeanine Pirro of intentionally lying about Smartmatic in an effort to mislead the public into the false belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
"They needed a villain," the lawsuit said. "They needed someone to blame. They needed someone whom they could get others to hate. A story of good versus evil, the type that would incite an angry mob, only works if the storyteller provides the audience with someone who personifies evil."
"Without any true villain, defendants invented one," the lawsuit added. "Defendants decided to make Smartmatic the villain in their story."
In a statement on behalf of the network and the named hosts issued after the lawsuit was filed, a Fox News spokesperson said, "FOX News Media is committed to providing the full context of every story with in-depth reporting and clear opinion. We are proud of our 2020 election coverage and will vigorously defend this meritless lawsuit in court."
Asked for comment, Powell said in a statement, "I have not received notice or a copy of this alleged lawsuit. However, your characterization of the claims shows that this is just another political maneuver motivated by the radical left that has no basis in fact or law."
In a statement of his own, Giuliani said, "The Smartmatic lawsuit presents another golden opportunity for discovery. I look forward to litigating with them."

  1. “Alternative facts”?!

    If this statement is okay with you, then switch the order of the words…
    “Facts Alternative”. Does that help?!๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    Common sense is not very common!

    1. “Alternative facts” = oxymoron. By the very definition, fact can’t be alternative. Fact = truth. There is no such thing as alternative truth. It either true or not. Even in math. The value is either true or not โ€”and math doesn’t lie. The media should have shut that down at the beginning, as in, that’s stupid/stop saying that.

    1. Donโ€™t forget, there are a lot of Trumpers who canโ€™t find jobs with decent companies d/t the Trump stench. Some of them are probably doing gig work for Putin. Same ultimate employer, after all.

    1. @Susan Caldwell trying to follow you position that fluculates dramatically hardly makes you an objective observer. By the way, as far as l can tell, the only lesson Trump learned from his “impeachment” trial is that he can get away with anything.

  2. Daniel Patrick Moynihan said โ€œ everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own factsโ€.

    1. Very well said. For those interested in facts. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Free your mind. Utilize discernment. Decide for yourself.
      “However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

    2. Being outed oNLY to people who already know they’re fake news though. Those who should hear the message will never hear the message.

    1. Tucker told the judge his program a satire program like the Daily Show. To avoid prosecution and fcc fines.

    2. They’re in damage control mode. They just realized their mouths have written checks that their butts can’t cash.

    3. @Rick Evans woah what kind of news show is he running where that’s his only option to avoid prosecution or fines

  3. In America we see the upside-down of this proverb: lies are long in the leg and have arms like jelly…

    1. Exactly. Trump sent in a mob to disrupt a fair election certification for personal gain based on a lie, and some members of the GOP and networks like Fox support it.

  4. Couldn’t Fox be charged with false advertisement? They market themselves as a credible news network with the product being factual and accurate news coverage, yet they admit in court that [at least] one of their main anchors is a quack and that any layperson should already know not to take him seriously despite their marketing, and they’ve still done nothing about him.

  5. If their defense is that their Hosts shouldn’t be taken seriously, they should have to have disclaimer displayed on screen of every show!

  6. The DNC is the one who needs to sue these sewer sandwiches with dumpster sauce. Propaganda fiends like Carlson and the rest desecrated everything real Americans hold sacred, and the ultimate target was Biden, Harris and the rest of the people’s party. The DNC should be there for us.
