Dominion defamation suit argues Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch had misgivings about Fox News' coverage after 2020 election

Court exhibits in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News show that some of Fox News' top executives harbored misgivings about what was being said on its shows after the 2020 election, and even after President Biden had been inaugurated.

A day after Inauguration Day, on Jan. 21, 2021, Fox News chairman Rupert Murdoch exclaimed, "Still getting mud thrown at us. Is it 'unarguable that high-profile Fox voices fed the story that the election was stolen and that January 6th an important chance to have the result overturned?"

"Maybe Sean (Hannity) and Laura (Ingraham) went too far," Murdoch then wrote. "All very well for Sean to tell you he was in despair about Trump but what did he tell his viewers?"
