defamation lawsuit against fox news brought by dominion voting systems. today judge eric davis asked the pool of prospects a number of questions, things like whether they watched fox news, for instance, or whether they have ever volunteered as poll watchers now once selected, the final group of jurors will be tasked with deciding whether or not fox news acted with actual malice in the aftermath of the 2020 election when fox news aired false statements about election interference thanks to the result of a pre-trial hearing, the falsity of those claims, those claims about election fraud, those conspiracies about hugo chavez and the machines flipping results of the election are a given. judge has already ruled on that. they are presumed false. such spur yious claims will notb debated before the jury. we have now in our possession the newly uncovered recordings, the source of all that upheaval which shook yesterday s hearing with the judge we told you about that when we came on t
told there was no problem with the machines fox news publishes this line knowingly. is that the purpose of this recording? yeah. and it also goes to show that this is not some recording that s secret, this was on fox and friends. this was information that was already put out in the public by fox and that s really what dominion is saying here. dominion is holding up fox as this prime example of how not to do journalism the right way. they re looking at this example of rudy because we already know he s having these conversations with maria bartiromo and he s having these conversations with sidney powell and all of these kind of open-ended questions and yet it s just being accepted as gospel there s no journalistic fact checking the problem is this is information coming forward from abby grossberg after the discovery process has been concluded. fox today said and i wanted to say this quickly, nicole
dominion got the evidence is because fox was playing, hide the ball that being said, it doesn t diminish the substance, import just because dominion just got it i think what s fascinating is there s this through line that we kind of forget about because there s always big news breaking every single day it s all kind of related because abby grossberg has her lawsuits and that impacts dominion. dominion impacts smartmatic. that s for 2 point something billion and there s a shareholder derivative lawsuit brought in delaware chancery court by a shareholder suing rupert mourdock, lack land, et cetera for damages he perceives for his value of his investment in fox all of it is interrelated. all of the evidence can be mutually included and used and so in this instance the jury will hear that fox news was playing hide the ball with this
checks, there s nothing onally bill barr was more brutal than the fox news fact checkers. no one s going anywhere. there s a lot more to tell you including a bombshell accusation by attorney for abby grossberg that fox didn t drop the ball but has been, quote, hiding the ball all along we ll show you that. plus, the legal battle over access to abortion pills is now heading to the united states supreme court after a late-nigh, mifepristone and new reporting reveals that supreme court justice clarence thomas failed to disclose a financial relationship with a close friend and a right wing megadonor we ve talked about and covered on this show before. we ll bring you all those showers when deadline white house comes back.
valuable evidence but at the end of the day does dominion care? that s the critical analysis. so grossberg as a witness will be on the stand will she be asked to explain how she came to be a witness for dominion and not fox, katie? no. she ll be asked what was your role at fox. what did you do? she s an insider that s always when you re a juror, you always want to hear from the people or person who are insiders that s like when we talk about michael cohen, you know what, we want to know what was really going on behind closed doors i don t know how much more closed door you can get by having abby grossberg who worked with maria bart iromo. when she felt the coercion that she stalock step she ll just be asked about that, but that really is important she s not an outis seider. she s not a stranger
