Rupert Murdoch admitted under oath that Fox News hosts endorsed election fraud lies he knew were false — documented evidence
🟢 CONFIRMED

In the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit, sworn deposition testimony revealed that Rupert Murdoch knew Fox News hosts were endorsing lies about the 2020 election being stolen — and did nothing to stop it. Internal communications showed Fox hosts privately mocked the claims they promoted on air. Fox settled for $787.5 million — one of the largest defamation settlements in history. Murdoch acknowledged under oath that some Fox commentators 'endorsed' false claims about Dominion's voting machines. The case exposed how the Murdoch empire prioritized ratings and audience loyalty over truth.

What They Said Was Crazy
Fox News knowingly aired false claims about election fraud for ratings, and Rupert Murdoch himself knew the claims were lies. They deliberately deceived their own audience.
