DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS is suing
Fox News for spreading conspiracies about the company’s role in nonexistent fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Dominion
submitted a bombshell legal filing on Thursday revealing that most of the Fox News hosts who pushed the Big Lie knew it was total bullshit, as well as the internal strife over how to cover the election Donald Trump has clearly lost.
Tucker Carlson was particularly incensed, the filing reveals. “Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane,” he texted fellow host Laura Ingraham on Nov. 18, 2020, referring to the right-wing lawyer who was one of the primary drivers of the conspiracy that Dominion’s machines weren’t on the level. Ingraham responded that Powell is “a complete nut,” as is Rudy Giuliani. “It’s unbelievably offensive to me,” said Carlson. “Our viewers are good people and they believe it.”
Carlson and his fellow hosts continued to push the idea that the election was fraudulent, regularly inviting conspiracy theorists onto their shows. Carlson was even pushing it on Thursday night, right around the time the filing was made public.
