“Some of our commentators backed him up.”Murdoch stated under oath in a defamation suit, when asked if some of the presenters defended the thesis that the electoral victory did not belong to Biden.
However, the businessman has denied that the company endorsed Trump’s election lies as an entity.. The publication of Murdoch’s statement has also revealed that Murdoch referred to some of Trump’s election lies as “nonsense”.
Fox News, for its part, has attacked the whistleblower company, voting machine manufacturer Dominion, calling the claim “dubious. “Dominion’s lawsuit has always been more focused on what will generate headlines than on what will stand up to legal and factual scrutiny,” reads a statement picked up by CNN.
