New York, March 1 (RHC)-- Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, has admitted under oath that many hosts on his network “endorsed” Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election. Murdoch also admitted it was “wrong” for Fox to keep interviewing pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow.
But Murdoch suggested it was done for financial, not political reasons. Murdoch said: “It is not red or blue, it is green.” Murdoch made the remarks in a deposition as part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox.
In a new court filing, Dominion also revealed that Murdoch had given Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner confidential information about Biden’s campaign ads, along with debate strategy during the campaign.
