MoveOn Targets Fox News' Corporate Advertisers Funding Dangerous Lies and Disinformation

After Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787 billion in a negotiated settlement of the landmark defamation lawsuit, Fox had no obligation under the agreement to admit wrongdoing or apologize to their viewers that they’d lied to. Over many decades, Fox has disseminated disinformation on a range of political and social issues stoking racism, hate and fear. But Rupert Murdoch’s network’s amplification of Trump’s Big Lie, falsely claiming that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen from him, were in large part responsible for the violence and deaths that occurred during the Jan. 6 Trump-incited insurrection and coup attempt to overthrow U.S. democracy.

Dominion will be proceeding with additional lawsuits against Trump associates Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, as well as News Max and One America News Network (OANN). Fox, and many of the other Dominion targets continue to face a parallel $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed by the Smartmatic voting technology company, alleging that Fox lies decimated its business.
