Fox News producer alleges network "coerced" her into giving misleading testimony in Dominion suit
CBSAPR 2023
The series of defamation suits against Fox raises the issue of how far the media can bend the truth before they are held accountable. Fox knew that many of its claims were untrue, yet it continued to push its on-air narratives to prevent viewers from leaving the network for the likes of Newsmax or One America. No matter the verdict of the cases, the limits of lying in the news have now been firmly established.
While right-wing outlets get all the attention, one need look no further than MSNBC to see how left-wing establishment media are protected from defamation cases like these, as the left-wing network is still airing segments accusing Trump of being a Russian operative. Years after the Russia hoax was debunked, these news outlets still allow accusations like these to reach millions of viewers with no fear of retribution. There are clear double standards at play.
