Here's a look at what Fox News stars were privately saying about election fraud claims—versus what they were saying on-air to viewers, according to court documents.
12:15As information from the Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit against Fox News reveals more about what allegedly occurred behind the scenes at the cable network in the wake of the 2020 election, below is a look at what some the biggest Fox stars wereabout election fraud claims -- versus what they said on-air to their viewers around the same time.
A Fox News channel sign is seen at the News Corporation building in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, June 15, 2018.Fox News has said that Dominion in its filings has "mischaracterized the record" and "cherry-picked quotes stripped of key context." Below are some examples of Fox hosts' private communications, as cited in the filing, versus what they said on their broadcasts at around the same time.On Nov. 8, Carlson privately texted his producer that the allegations about Dominion were "absurd," according to the Dominion filing. Also that day, Carlson's producer texted him about his own doubts.
Carlson during this show also said that "false claims of fraud can be every bit as destructive as the fraud itself," according to the filing, and that "[T]he fraud that we can confirm does not seem to be enough to alter the election results. We should be honest and tell you that..."On Nov. 7, host Maria Bartiromo scoffed at an email she received from attorney Sidney Powell forwarding her evidence of fraud, calling it "kooky," the filing said.
It's "shockingly reckless" to claim Dominion rigged election "[i]f there's no one inside the company willing to talk, or internal Dominion documents or copies of the software showing that they did it" -- "as you know there isn't," he wrote, according to the lawsuit.Two nights later, on Nov. 23, Carlson told his viewers during his show that security surrounding electronic voting machines was a "real issue.
