FILE - Images of Fox News personalities, from left, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo, Stuart Varney, Neil Cavuto and Charles Payne appear outside News Corporation headquarters in New York on July 31, 2021. In defending itself against a massive defamation lawsuit over how Fox covered false claims surrounding the 2020 presidential election, the network is relying on a 1964 Supreme Court ruling that makes it difficult to successfully sue media organizations for libel.
NEW YORK — Fox News is on an unlikely collision course with two leading contenders for the Republican presidential nomination over the rights of journalists.
Business dbauder THERE WAS AN ELECTION FRAUD AND YOU WILL SEE IT COME TO THE LIGHT. TRUTH WILL PREVAIL AND JUSTICE IS COMING TO THE LIARS AND CHEATERS.

dbauder The republican party is a disgrace, is support them you are a scumbag
dbauder
dbauder Trump promises to drain the swamp, again. Ron DeSantis Will actually do it. We can’t win with Trump!
dbauder They already lost this case No way any human could see otherwise
dbauder Fox needs to come clean, admit they lie for money and stop doing it!!
dbauder So challenging elections results could lead to a defamation lawsuit hmmmm
Go back & watch video from CNN showing Trump leading by hundreds of thousands of votes and magically inspite of polls closing more votes showed up for basement Biden. Also we saw machines able to flip votes. Come clean...
ProjectLincoln If they can just figure out how to write the law so that non-RW media can be sued but RW media can't, that would solve the problem! 🤔
I think journalists should be subject to defamation lawsuits because they have become irresponsible information sources that peddle political disinformation that include ugly personal attacks that cause real and irreversible damage to people and their families.
ProjectLincoln 😂😆🤣😅🤣😆😂🤣😆😆
ProjectLincoln Love it
💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
ProjectLincoln 😂🤣😂
ProjectLincoln Murdoch tries to hide behind Sullivan v NYTimes. If courts strike down this safe harbor precedent for media, it will be a double edged sword for right wing media ecosystem. They routinely expose themselves more than MSM, who are more cautious.
ProjectLincoln Since Fox is All Libel All the Time it needs lots of protection - Fox is Putin’s greatest triumph in his war against democracy.
I really don’t understand what either Trump or DeSantis would have to gain from this? If the laws were made more strict, most conservative media would have to change how they present their version of the “news”. Newsman and OAN would basically have to change their entire MO
There is not news organization more than the liberal ones giving US FAKE NEWS. COVID, RUSSIA GATE, STOLEN ELECTIONS.Everyone knows ! We’re not stupid AP
this goes under the category of 'so What' more nonsense from the fine folks at the who refuse to tweet about issues affecting Americans
Who cares!
This is crap. You know a change to law or precedent does not impact current cases.
Right wingers yet again living up to the 'Rules for thee but not for me.'
You need to stop a lot of lies and tell the truth about haiti my country and yes Trump did try to help President Jovenel Moise before the corrupted haitian politicians in haiti control by the core group in haiti by binuh & oea & others that assassinate President Jovenel Moise.
The liars that work for the liars, lied when they spread the lies that the knew were lies and now want to take their lies before the supreme liars.
Fox had a reckless disregard for the truth because they knew the truth, they knew they were lying & they did it anyway. And in doing so, Fox played into the hands of foreign adversaries & other enemies of our republic.
Top GOP whatever is usually at odds with reality. More force issues than find solutions. It's kind of a shame. We need far greater numbers solution wise. We have enough forcing going on.
Current libel law requires plaintiffs to prove that a news organization acted with reckless disregard for the truth. Fox is using that standard to defend its actions that promoted false claims of voter fraud.
