Because legally, they would be found at FAULT and the BILLIONS in damages would bankrupt them. Advertisers would leave. Viewership might drop off. Money talks.

Hillary Clinton, is NOT the person FOX wants to be messing with. She knows people in the Legal world who know people.

a potential law suit from Hillary for malice and they are already looking at 1.6 billion $
law suit from Dominion Voting

Fox News loses bid to dismiss Dominion defamation lawsuit over election coverage

WASHINGTON, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Fox News Network on Thursday lost its attempt to dismiss a $1.6 billion lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems Inc, a voting machine company that says Fox defamed it by amplifying conspiracy theories about its technology.

In a written ruling, Delaware court judge Eric Davis said Dominion had sufficiently alleged it was defamed by Fox News' 2020 election coverage and the case should proceed toward trial.

"At this stage, it is reasonably conceivable that Dominion has a claim for defamation per se," Davis said in his ruling. "Accordingly, Fox’s Motion should be denied."

Dominion's lawsuit, filed in March, accused Fox of trying to boost its TV ratings by amplifying false conspiracy theories that the company rigged the presidential election against Republican Donald Trump, who lost to Joe Biden, a Democrat.


*********
Fox really is a cancer on America and they should not be allowed to use the word "News" in their title.
BTW 1/6/21 was also a Fox News fueled riot in order to promote "The Big Lie."

I don't know if she could make a case but I wish Hillary would sue the shit out of Fox. I expect that Fox
is gonna make an on air correction/apology very soon.

They exist to entertain their audience, not inform them. They're really like comedians, though just not funny. And when something doesn't work, they move on to the next "joke". They're a fraud through and through.

And when you examine how they present their programming, that's the only thing you can conclude. For example, their use of "monologues" at the beginning of opinion shows. Those hosts are basically giving sermons to their sheep. The whole "we report, you decide" thing. The way they constantly bash their competition and foster a distrust in the media (of course, except for them). They play a dangerous game and, unfortunately, they have had some success. I think Brian Stelter's great book "Hoax" has taken them down a couple of notches, but I'd love to see somebody, maybe Hillary, do some lasting damage.

against CNN, it will throw the doors wide open for suits against Fox.
Ms. Clinton does not speak empty threats. She already knows she would at least. be able to bring a suit to trial and that means "Discovery". She would not only win her suit but expose the inner workings of Fox.

But hindsight tells us all that she would have made one hell of a good President, the US Supreme Court would be better balanced with capable people, and Russia would not dare cross her due to her previous job as Sec. of State.

For America would have been well served by her.
