This is whats so crazy about all these people. theyre also rich! theyre also powerful! what? what are you scared of? theyre also desperate. now, murdaugh seems almost equally concerned about his audience going to newsmax, and about the outcome of the next big race, as the runoffs and up elections in georgia. also, that makes sense. this is, i think, genuine. its not a stick from murdaugh. its who he has. fundamentally, fox news is both a moneymaking project and a political one. its both. its bee...

Won. first, i guess, just -- your lawyer. so you read legal filings in a different way than i do. just, your reaction to what we are learning through just these first two sets of filings that have been made public. >> yeah. so, in addition to a voting rights lawyer, im actually owe so a campaign finance lawyer. and i can tell you that what you described is, i think, actually, potentially quite a bit worse. at its best, at its best, for the legal position of fox, it was handing off bidens ads bef...

Sort of functioning in tandem. and i want to be clear about that. whether thats good or bad, at a moral level, which i think its bad, its bad for american democracy, legally, thats part of the system. police saying, and i think this is important, is this easy mean -- its not even that. we know what theyre doing on their. this is something totally different. theyre taking whatever the non public material information isnt giving it to the campaign. we dont know the details here. but thats just in ...

Showing that biden really was going to try to win those elections. ive gotta tell you, the way in which fox officials, including the chief executive, hosts reacted to the journalists at fox who sought to level whether viewers and tell them the truth was extraordinary. and what it does, it gives great heft to the idea that dominion can prove this legal bar which is required a defamation of saying that either we can prove that fox put this on the air knowing that it was damaging and untrue, or tha...

Ultimately up to them. now, theyve got very strong liability but a little bit dicey there damages claim. i wont exhumed that, but just to say, it make make sense to settle, but theyve got an ax to grind. they were clobbered there evaluation was clobbered, and all they did by the way, and that 2020 election, they were only in one county in l. a. county. so, you know, there now the balls in their court and they may decide, no, lets keep going to trial. see you in court. this is the point now, post...

And what it does, it gives great heft to the idea that dominion can prove this legal bar which is required a defamation of saying that either we can prove that fox put this on the air knowing that it was damaging and untrue, or that it showed reckless disregard, willful disregard of the information that they shouldve had. therefore, they should be held responsible. in this case, folks up and down the hierarchy at fox were expressing not only doubts but contempt for the idea that there is any mer...

Lift the rock, stripped bare the curtain, whatever analogy you choose to use, to show what was happening behind the scenes. it was a time of contempt for the kinds of claims that were being put on the air. and that same time, there was this urgent drive to do so because they felt their viewers needed to hear, reassurance that their belief that trump was cheated, fostered from the very top, official in the white house himself. was right because they defended those viewers by reporting on election...

That these revelations and the dominion suit specifically, might affect foxes political influence. what is the reality on that? >> i mean, the reality is, fox is going to continue to have to have a certain number of you are to listen to what fox says, and thats why its so important that in this case, theyve decided to put ratings over truth. ultimately, the truth will come out, but you see in this communications room revealed by dominion, that you had foxhole s calling for the firing of reporter...

Integrity. but theyre finding integrity in a way that is 180 degrees distant from the ways most journalists would concede even most respected journalists who are opinion journalists. you have to start with the facts. everything radiates from that. >> the truth is the only thing that matters, harry, this just begs the question, i dont understand why fox let this go to trial instead of agreeing to settle this case? were only having this discussion now because of the facts that were presented in th...
