Fox News: Fox News hit with $1.6 billion lawsuit over election fraud claims.

Even after it cuts a check to Dominion, (for $787.5 Million) Fox will not be completely out of the woods for its 2020 election coverage. Fox News faces a separate civil action from Smartmatic, also a voting-machines company for $2.7 billion

Smartmatic alleges in its $2.7 billion lawsuit that Fox News and the other defendants broadcast more than 100 knowingly false statements about the company’s involvement in the 2020 election. (It’s seeking that amount because it claims it has lost more than $2.7 billion in value since the 2020 presidential election.) According to Smartmatic’s complaint, the defendants repeated, on at least 13 different broadcasts, the following false narrative: “Smartmatic was a Venezuelan company under the control of corrupt dictators from socialist countries. In [the defendants’] story, Smartmatic’s election technology and software were used in many of the states with close outcomes. And, in [the defendants’] story, Smartmatic was responsible for stealing the 2020 election by switching and altering votes to rig the election for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”
