BREAKING: Rupert Murdoch admits in sworn deposition that Fox hosts endorsed false notiion of stolen election

Rupert Murdoch, chair of Fox News’s parent company, acknowledged in a deposition that “some of our commentators were endorsing” the baseless narrative that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

When asked in particular if Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was among the hosts who endorsed the claims, Murdoch replied “I think so.” He said that former host Lou Dobbs did so “a lot,” and that prime-time host Sean Hannity did so “a bit.” Yet Murdoch denied that Fox itself endorsed the claims.

Murdoch’s sworn testimony was made public on Monday as part of a response by Dominion Voting Systems to Fox’s bid to have a judge throw out the election technology company’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit. Dominion has alleged that Fox broadcast comments made by Donald Trump-affiliated lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani that defamed the voting company.

In an particularly explosive part of the filing, Dominion alleges that Murdoch provided Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, Jared Kushner, with confidential network information about Joe Biden’s ads as well as debate strategy, citing an exhibit that remains under seal.

“We were treating it as news that the president and his lawyers were saying this,” Murdoch is quoted as saying. But he also acknowledged some regret in Fox’s handling of the on-air claims. “I would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing it, in hindsight,” he said.

A previous filing from Dominion made public on Feb. 16 contained evidence that Murdoch did not believe the allegations of voter fraud made by Trump’s attorneys on Fox programs. In the latest filing, Dominion cites Murdoch acknowledging that he doubted the claims from the beginning.

But Murdoch also described himself as standing up to pressure from the Trump team. When Kushner pushed for him to recant the Arizona call, Murdoch recounted in his deposition that he refused to do so, saying, “Well, the numbers are the numbers.”

Murdoch is quoted saying that it was “wrong” to allow MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, a staunch Trump ally, to appear on Tucker Carlson’s show in January 2021, during which he repeated allegations against Dominion. And he acknowledged that he could have stopped Giuliani from appearing on his network “but didn’t.”

Hey OP, know much money did the federal government spend supporting the “false notion of stolen elections”?

And how much did they spend on Russiagate?

Bullshit opinions based on bullshit from Kraken Lady?

Yes.

Rupert Murdoch is a Luciferian globalist who publishes the Satanic Bible through Avon Publishing and owns the publishing rights to the NIV Bible. He also owns Zondervan Christian publishing which is a Jesuit ecumenical propaganda clearinghouse.

The man is only about green.

He'll publish anything.

The man will literally publish anything.

Faux news is just the propaganda arm for right leaning globalist propaganda.

Lame attempt at disinfo to excuse your tool there, Igor. But fact is:

Should we also include the Kraken Lady, Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, Jared Kusher and everyone else who feed these fake election claims to Fox, which they then endorsed?

All Murdoch and Fox did was endorse and publish them.

Murdoch must have been on tape sucking off a baby boy and murdering it for adrenochrome so they blackmailed him into saying this.

Except it wasn't a false "notion," folks!

Everyone knows that Biden stole the election!

A black baby boy.

He's a liar and a fake J!

Refer to my comments above.

If it sells and there's a buyer out there, Murdoch will publish it.

He'll promote Satan, God, Ghandi, or the newest donut shop selections if they sell.

He doesn't care.

He is an absolute publishing and media whore.

I would expect nothing less from this globalist shitbag.

What’s the problem?

Only state sponsored media is approved? Isn’t that tyranny?

He sunk the Kurtz!

Bet they also went as far and said the Covid Virus came out of a Wuhan Lab leak too!

Oh, the horror of conspiracy…… Until it isn’t!

Pedo Joe and the dizzy whore were dead last in the primaries but somehow received record number of votes in the general election.

So you’re pushing the same bullshit that Murdoch admitted Fox News endorsed?

What a sucker.
