In the U.S., Fox News is facing another defamation lawsuit for spreading falsehoods in the wake of the 2020 election.
New York, July 14 (RHC)-- In the U.S., Fox News is facing another defamation lawsuit for spreading falsehoods in the wake of the 2020 election. Trump supporter Ray Epps sued the far-right network after former host Tucker Carlson repeatedly accused him of being an undercover FBI agent who incited the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Epps says he and his family have since received death threats.
The lawsuit against Fox News states> "As Fox recently learned in its litigation against Dominion Voting Systems, its lies have consequences.”
In April, Fox News paid $787 million to settle Dominion’s lawsuit charging the network defamed the voting machine company by airing false conspiracy theories that it helped rig the presidential election.
Fox News still faces a $2.7 billion lawsuit brought by Smartmatic, another maker of electronic voting machines.
