A New York appeals court ruling requires Fox Corp. to face Smartmatic's defamation lawsuit regarding election falsehoods aired on Fox News, marking a significant moment for accountability.
Smartmatic alleges that Rupert Murdoch and his son, Lachlan Murdoch, directed Fox News to engage in a disinformation campaign, responding to the post-election audience shift.
The unanimous appeals court ruling highlighted similar findings from a previous Dominion Voting Systems case, solidifying Smartmatic's position against Fox regarding defamation.
Fox News and its parent company have faced setbacks in efforts to dismiss the defamation lawsuit, showing the resilience of legal challenges surrounding misinformation.
