How do you say “liability” in Australian?

Oh-oh SpaghettiOs:

Rupert Murdoch, chairman of Fox News’s parent company, acknowledged in a deposition that “some of our commentators were endorsing” the baseless narrative that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

When asked in particular if Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was among the hosts who endorsed the claims, Murdoch replied “I think so.” He said that former host Lou Dobbs did so “a lot,” and that prime-time host Sean Hannity did so “a bit.” Yet Murdoch denied that Fox itself endorsed the claims.

Murdoch’s sworn testimony was made public on Monday as part of a response by Dominion Voting Systems to Fox’s bid to have a judge throw out the election technology company’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit. Dominion has alleged that Fox broadcast comments made by Donald Trump-affiliated lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani that defamed the voting company.

[…]

But in the filing on Monday, Murdoch is quoted saying that it was “wrong” to allow MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, a staunch Trump ally, to appear on Tucker Carlson’s show in January 2021, during which he repeated allegations against Dominion. And he acknowledged that he could have stopped Giuliani from appearing on his network “but didn’t.”

I don’t know what the outcome of Dominon’s suit will be — I presume some kind of settlement is the most likely outcome? — but morally this is an open-and-shut case.

Always worth remembering:

And, of course, this goes double for frozen-food heir Tucker Carlson. This guys are professional fascists because they want to, not because they need to.
