"I'm not very happy right now," Judge Davis said during a hearing in Wilmington, Delaware. "You have a credibility problem." Fox News had disclaimed that Murdoch was a company officer, which shaped how Dominion litigated the case, according to Dominion attorney Nelson. As a Fox News officer, Murdoch would likely have been subject to more probing discovery by Dominion.A Fox lawyer told the hearing that Murdoch disclosed the title in a February deposition and he called the title "honorific."

Judge chides Fox News over Dominion claim of ‘missing’ Murdoch documentsThe judge in a $1.6 billion defamation case said Fox News has a “credibility problem,” based on the last-minute revelation about Rupert Murdoch’s role at the company, which may have affected his decision-making about narrowing the scope of the case.

Fox choosing to lie to a judge is not the same as how it chooses to lie to its viewers; there are consequences
