Dominion says its lawyers sent Fox employees more than 3,600 emails attempting to correct Fox's reporting on the issue. The company identified 20 specific statements from Fox broadcasts between Nov. 8, 2020, and Jan. 26, 2021, that it says were legally defamatory. This illustrates Dominion's extensive effort to address inaccuracies in Fox's coverage relating to the 2020 election.
Fox argued that the First Amendment protects them, claiming their hosts were simply presenting newsworthy claims made by Trump and his allies. This defense underscores the complexities involved in legal proceedings between media outlets and defamation cases, particularly against influential figures.
Evidence in the case "demonstrates that it is CRYSTAL clear that none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true." This assertion reinforces Dominion's position that Fox's reporting was not only inaccurate but potentially harmful to their reputation and business.
Fox News stated, "Dominion's lawsuit is a political crusade in search of a financial windfall, but the real cost would be cherished First Amendment rights." This highlights Fox's argument that a ruling in favor of Dominion could set a dangerous precedent for journalistic freedoms.
