Dominion Judge Sanctions Fox News for Withholding Key Evidence

Updated Apr. 12, 2023

Chastising the network’s lawyers, Davis added that he was “very uncomfortable right now” about the appearance that Fox didn’t fulfill all of its discovery obligations as it approached trial. He went on to say he would appoint an outside attorney to investigate whether Fox made “untrue or negligent” assertions about both its obligatory duties on evidence and its descriptions of Rupert Murdoch’s role at the network.

The MAGA crowd is so obsessed with dismantling the deep state that they are willing to destroy themselves in the process. I have lost count and am probably not aware of all the professional people and organizations that 45* has destroyed in connection with his 2016 election to the presidency of the UA, but it is at least two dozen. We then add to that all of his individual supporters who have in one form or another destroyed their own personal lives and/or fortunes in support of 45*.

This appears to be a circus whose tent never comes down. As I recall the announcement, here,** of Fox’s legal team, these are reputable professionals of great experience. Yet, the team made false claims about Murdock’s official role at Fox News and fail to provide relevant evidence during discovery. What is it about 45* that otherwise sane people will destroy themselves to protect him from obvious fault.

Lying, alternative facts, conspiracies or misinformation is the norm in MAGA land, I don’t understand how Democrats ever lose elections to these people.
