Federal court hears no member of the Murdoch family has publicly repudiated the news channel’s claims of electoral fraud in the 2020 US election

Private Media’s barrister, Clarissa Amato, said Murdoch’s defence had so far produced no evidence showing that he did repudiate such claims. It is now seeking to put the question directly to Murdoch and ask him to show documentary evidence of having repudiated comments about electoral fraud made on Fox News.

“And if he did publicly repudiate it, then we will ask for any documents that evidences that public repudiation.” But Murdoch’s barrister, Sue Chrysanthou SC, resisted the interrogatory, saying it was no longer relevant. She also said the publisher’s interrogatories would require Murdoch to watch Fox News, a 24-hour channel, for the two-and-a-half years that have passed since the election.
