CNN — The voting technology company Smartmatic can move forward with its defamation lawsuit against Fox Corporation, a New York judge ruled Wednesday, dealing a blow to the parent company of Fox News, which is already fighting the massive lawsuit over its repeated airing of 2020 election lies.
The decision from Manhattan Supreme Court Judge David Cohen represents a significant setback to Fox’s corporate leadership, including the powerful Murdoch family, who will now face more scrutiny in the litigation. Cohen already let the case proceed against Fox News — and on Wednesday, he rejected a request by Fox Corporation to throw out the claims against the parent company.
Yeah, right. They already settled the Dominion case for almost a billion dollars. This case is practically identical. I actually hope they’re stupid enough to take this one to trial.
They don’t have a Tucker to fire this time. Better be ready to spend a bit more.
