Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has acknowledged that some Fox News commentators advanced false allegations from former United States President Donald Trump and his allies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, according to excerpts of a deposition unsealed on Monday.The documents also reveal that the Fox Corporation (FC) chairperson did not step in to stop them from promoting the unsubstantiated election claims. Those falsehoods and the company’s handling of them are at the heart of a defamation lawsuit against the cable news giant by Dominion Voting Systems.The recently unsealed documents include excerpts from a deposition in which Murdoch was asked about whether he was aware that some of the network’s commentators — Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro and Sean Hannity — at times endorsed the false election claims.
