Unsealed brief with Fox News execs' 2020 election outtakes is media lawyer's 'nightmare' (Feat. Jeff Kosseff)
Top Fox News executives, right up to Rupert Murdoch, were quoted deriding the same 2020 election conspiracy theories some in their network pushed, in an explosive new legal brief unsealed last week. Those revelations could prove damaging to Fox in defending a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion, one of the two voting machine companies scapegoated to explain Donald Trump’s defeat in the last presidential race. On the latest episode, Professor Jeff Kosseff — a prominent First Amendment and cybersecurity scholar, and the author of the soon-to-be-released book “Liar in a Crowded Theater” — unpacks why the messages quoted in Dominion’s brief might be the stuff of "nightmares" for Fox.
