Haberman describes 'striking' claim that stood out to her from court documents

A new court filing shows Fox anchors and executives privately ridiculed former President Trump's lies about the 2020 election even while promoting them on air. The revelations are part of Dominion voting systems' $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox. CNN's political analyst Maggie Haberman and senior media reporter Oliver Darcy join Pamela Brown to discuss. #CNN #News

Freedom of speech for the press does not give the press the right to knowingly spread lies. When they spread lies they are no longer the press.

People lost their lives and freedom because of their lies.

1.6 billion is too little for the damage they are responsible for.

Something needs to be done to Fox about calling its network news. They need at least have a disclaimer before every 'opinion' show.

[conniegaylord]

They should be made to apologize publicly on Fox news. The people who need to hear this won't hear it on CNN and other networks.

Looks like the chickens are coming home to roost. The Murdoch clan is going to write Dominion a fat check.

“It will be impossible to know the truth.” (If you watch Fox)

[unkleturpis]

Knowledgeable culpability sounds like. Murdoch and Fox News should suffer for putting profits over true journalism. Yellow journalism is not something we should allow back into the public discourse.

Apparently 'freedom of speech' is an excuse for blatant lies...these hosts aren't stupid, they knew it was all bull. Yet they pumped it out in an attempt to gain views from the stupid. They should have their licenses taken away, absolutely abhorrent behaviour.

[SkepticalBrother]

Faux news was doing the equivalent of screaming fire in a theatre.

[bonniegaither]

With that freedom comes responsibility. Freedom of speech is not lying.

[walterosborne]

I want to see if the Republicans going to set up a committee to investigate this LOL

[pancakeface]

So here are these anchors looking confidently into the camera, knowingly lying to their viewers. They claim to be mere entertainers while their viewers convinced they're journalists, honestly reporting the facts on the news of the day, i.e. the truth tellers.This is sick on so many levels. The whole lot of them need to be shamed, shunned, and exorcised from ever anchoring anything but a dinghy.

No wonder Fox was so terrified of Discovery and fought so hard to obstruct it.

[TheTmat]

I've long said that Fox is not a news network. Sue their ass to the last penny! And strong message needs to be sent here.

[tuffymoon]

I don't think those cherry picked quotes lacked content. They pretty much said it all. They straight faced lied to their loyal viewers for money and ratings. Is the freaking rich ever rich enough? Makes me real curious as to what was said in the texts that were blacked out.

[tieroneasset]

Trump was not only the "gasoline on the fire", he was the spark that ignited the insurrection

[janiekcarney]

It’s all about money and power and ratings.

[blose]

Trump now know his loyal FOX hosts had been laughing at him. He was the butt of their jokes.

Speech May be free, but slanderous lies cost money.😂
