From a Washington Post story by Jeremy Barr, Sarah Ellison, and Rachel Weiner headlined “Rupert Murdoch admitted some Fox commentators ‘endorsed’ election lies”:
Rupert Murdoch, chair of Fox News’s parent company, acknowledged in a deposition that “some of our commentators were endorsing” the baseless narrative that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
When asked in particular if Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was among the hosts who endorsed the claims, Murdoch replied “I think so.” He said that former host Lou Dobbs did so “a lot,” and that 9 p.m. host Sean Hannity did so “a bit.” Yet Murdoch denied that Fox itself endorsed the claims.
