Fox News faces legal and journalistic crisis over election coverage.
TL;DR Summary
A shareholder of Fox Corp, Robert Schwarz, has filed a lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and other board members for failing to uphold the company's ethical reputation during Fox News' coverage of the 2020 election. Schwarz alleges that Fox News reported false and dangerous misinformation about the election, prioritizing short-term ratings and market share over the long-term damages of its failure to tell the truth. Fox Corp is also facing a $1.6 billion lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, which alleges that the network knowingly aired false information about its software being promoted by former President Trump's allies and associates.
