The news firm says it reported what others were saying about the presidential election. While the news operation differed, the company’s top opinion personalities were chief purveyors of the conspiracy theories involving Dominion and others about irregularities in the results of the November election alleged by President Donald Trump. The motion to dismiss filed in Delaware Superior Court states: “A free press must be able to report both sides of a story involving claims striking at the core of our democracy—especially when those claims prompt numerous lawsuits, government investigations, and election recounts. “When a sitting President of the United States and his legal team challenge a presidential election in litigation throughout the nation, the media can truthfully report and comment on those allegations under the First Amendment without fear of liability. Plaintiffs’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News threatens to stifle the media’s free-speech right to inform the public about newsworthy allegations of paramount public concern.”
