Fox News’ Howard Kurtz says company won’t let him cover Dominion voting case

[Scott]

Fox News host Howard Kurtz said on Sunday that the network will not allow him to cover the defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox.

 

Kurtz said on his “MediaBuzz” show on Sunday that the company is not allowing him to cover the case, despite his belief that he should cover it since it is a “major media story.” He said that for now, he cannot talk about the case, but will let his audience know if that policy changes.

They don't want to allow the crazies to place them in further legal jeopardy. I'd say this is following legal advice as a defendant.

I think Fox has decided to use the legal situation as an excuse.  It's not hard to report the facts on a case without editorial comment.  It's not hard, as many networks do, to mention that they are reporting on the parent company.    

 

I suspect this is further evidence of just how much Fox is not a credible news source.

FOX does however have a long history of trouble reporting the facts.

Hardly surprising when yesterday new court docs reveal how Murdoch has threatened to fire anyone who told lies on the Dominion case, so does that mean a mass layoff of hosts.....lol

 

"News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch testified in a deposition that any Fox News executive who knowingly allows lies to be broadcast should be “reprimanded” or fired, a blockbuster new court filing states."

 

“They should be reprimanded – They should be reprimanded, maybe got rid of,” Murdoch said during a two-day deposition earlier this year.

So the woke mob is cancelling a Fox News host?

 

I'm sure the usual suspects will be along to scream about this injustice.

Let me rephrase that for you: –

 

Decent, sensible people who look forward to truthful and "uncontaminated" news are keen to take off air those who promote lies and mislead others with their comedy programme masquerading as a news channel.

 

There, that's better.
