Survey responses cited in $2.7bn defamation lawsuit filed against Fox by voting technology company Smartmatic
Multiple Fox News employees expressed concerns about the network’s editorial standards and the conduct of top hosts in an internal survey conducted in the summer and fall of 2020, with one going as far as to wonder if they had sold their “soul to the devil”, according to legal filings.
The employees’ statements were excerpted in a 771-page filing released last week, made public as part of a defamation lawsuit filed against the network by voting technology company Smartmatic.
The comments come from an anonymous internal survey – the “Fox News 2020 Great Place to Work Trust Index Survey” – of 1,040 employees conducted between 24 August 2020 and 8 September 2020. Several employees expressed concerns that the network was intentionally aiding Donald Trump and the Republican party.
Hey, I still firmly believe that the network was somehow connected to the election of George W. Bush. How else do you explain a Bush relative working for the network and the network being the first to call the race hours before any other outlet would call it for Bush.
So I’m far from surprised they would outright aid a President and their party.
and fox working behind the scenes with the 1/6 insurrection, at least laura ingarham was involved with mark meadows on what to and how to frame the “Riot” if antifa showed up.
I mean - helping republicans to do what they’re doing was always the goal - it’s the founding principle. Anyone who wasn’t aware must have been a child or not born at the time.
It’s never been in doubt.
I was a baby during Watergate, and I know that.
