Rupert to the Stand

It is a good bet that Fox head Rupert Murdoch will be summoned to the stand to testify as a witness in Dominion Voting Systems.

Fox lawyers were doing all they could to keep Murdoch out of the courtroom, but the judge once again issued another blow to Fox News.

Fox News suits are not happy and issued this statement. “Dominion clearly wants to continue generating misleading stories from their friends in the media to distract from their weak case. Demanding witnesses who had nothing to do with the challenged broadcasts is just the latest example of their political crusade in search of a financial windfall.”

“Friends in the media”? Clearly, Fox News is using the Donald Trump tactic of trying to claim the media is biased against them.

The media is covering a major court case that could have a huge impact on the leading cable news operation. It’s a giant story and while Fox won’t let their people cover it, the rest of the media is doing their job.

Also, claiming Murdoch “had nothing to do with the challenged broadcasts” is delusional. Murdoch started the network and guided the tone of the network, and without Rupert Murdoch there is no Fox News.

Of course, he is a key factor in this case.

I know Fox News is scared right now, but I don’t think the Trump-like mud-slinging is the route to go.

Just saying….
