Dominion: Fox News needs to 'retract the lies and tell its audience the truth'

Fox News has acknowledged in court that its on-air claims that Dominion Voting Services "rigged" the 2020 election were false — but it still hasn't acknowledged that to its audience, the voting machine company charged in a court filing Wednesday.

After giving a platform to allies of former President Donald Trump falsely claiming Dominion "flipped" millions of votes to Joe Biden, the network "still refuses to level with its audience," lawyers for Dominion said in papers filed in Delaware Superior Court.

Dominion said that Fox has acknowledged in their own court filings and through testimony that there was no evidence to back the bogus claims of a number of Fox hosts and guests such as Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani and Mike Lindell.

"Despite having conceded it was all a lie, and despite internal documents proving they knew it was a lie all along, Fox still will not retract the lies and tell its audience the truth," the company argued, pointing a finger at Murdoch.

"What is Rupert Murdoch’s rationale for not retracting? Not that the truth is still in doubt. He admitted he 'never believed' that Dominion rigged the election. And he 'could have' stopped the defamatory statements from airing at the time “[b]ut I didn’t.' Yet he believes it is 'too late' to retract and refuses to apologize," the filing said.

Texas Congressman Who Broke With GOP Is Censured

Republican U. S. Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas was censured Saturday in a rare move by his state party over votes that included supporting new gun safety laws after the Uvalde school shooting in his district.

The Republican Party of Texas voted 57-5 with one abstention, underlining how the two-term congressman’s willingness to break with conservatives on key issues during his short time in office has caused GOP activists and some colleagues to bristle.

That independent streak includes opposing a sweeping House GOP immigration proposal over the U. S.-Mexico border, which includes a large portion of his South Texas district. He has also voted to defend same-sex marriage and was an outright “no” against a House rules package after Republican leader Kevin McCarthy became speaker.
Gonzales was defiant before the vote and did not attend the meeting of Texas GOP leaders and activists in Austin.
“We’ll see how that goes,” he told reporters in San Antonio on Thursday.

A spokesperson for the congressman did not immediately return a message for comment after Saturday’s vote.
The vote followed an hourlong, closed-door executive session in which party members were allowed to debate the resolution.
