From Morning Report, 7:38 am on 20 April 2023

Fox executives including Rupert Murdoch may have avoided having to take the stand after it settled the defamation suit taken against it by Dominion Voting Systems, but it now has another law suit against it pending.

Fox News yesterday agreed to pay Domionion $1.2 billion NZD, after it was accused of knowingly broadcasting lies suggesting election fraud in the 2020 vote, destroying the company's reputation.

But it's not the end of the news company's legal woes.
