business canceled lou dobbs's show.g disappointment for his audience: a cage full of parakeets in the day room. but fox is trying to make some money back, because they're also a plaintiff in an election lawsuit on behalf of fox ceo lachlan murdoch, seen here asking rupert "what happened to my new stepmommy?" lachlan is suing an australian website for implying he was a conspirator in the january 6th insurrection. the actual name of that website: crikey news! now, and if they lose, it'll be good for its main competitor didgeri-news. "tonight's top story: [didgeridoo music] all that, and deadly spiders in your shower." so... we don't broadcast there, do we? fox news is out a whole lot of money, but they're not telling their viewers that. and they don't have to, because this settlement does not force them to own up to the damage they did to our country or apologize on their network. so... >> [booing] >> stephen: we feel the same way. so we've decided to make them apologize on our network. [cheers and applause] jim? >> befor

then we have another infamous election did not and trump supporter on the "lou dobbs tonight" show. here is sidney powell. where dobbs asked what evidence she has a fraud on the 2020 elections. let's listen to her answer. we will just fast-forward it once again. >> your reaction? >> i can hardly wait to put forward all the evidence we have collected on dominion, starting with the fact it was created to produce altered voting results in venezuela for hugo chavez and then shipped internationally to manipulate votes for purchase in other countries, including this one. it was funded by money -- >> here we have sidney powell claiming that they have proof that dominion was created to produce altered voting results in venezuela for hugo chavez, another false venezuela tie allegation against dominion voting systems. well-deserved lawsuit indeed as fox news braces for yet another 2.7 billion voting lawsuit -- voting system lawsuit coming up. his it's not over yet. >> thanks very much. that is it for the moment. more news coming up. >> albania has become a haven for afghans fleeing the taliban

but for you know, the more low hanging fruit of lou dobbs and rita bartiromo jobs already met his fatehe was he was let go, viewer, so you're right. yes. well i'm not either anymore realized. yes i have. i have absolutely no idea. i mean, one might expect it. but then hmm. why did they allow it to go this far to begin with? does i mean i don't want to get you into the middle of something, but the maria bartiromo her behavior during all of this what she said on air her hosting of sidney powell. it is really i mean it just journalistically. it's shameful. um did that surprise you? i mean, she i don't know her personally, i don't. i was on jeopardy with her once and my gosh, she did not do well, but has she? was she always like that? not that i recall, but i cannot comment on the people that i worked with. unfortunately because of my nondisclosure agreement, but as far as being surprised about it, you know, look, i think that some of the fox hosts are a microcosm of what we're seeing in the macrocosm of viewers, which is we watched news now in silos, and we only watch what we want to hear

>> well, they are separate cases, but it is going to show that lou dobbs' broadcast on december 10thnd tweet that is part of the dominion case has challenged the statements and the alleged statements against dominion as well, but it is a tricky part of the case for fox, and one source said that it confirms that it is critical key parts of this defamation suit. >> and just the fact that this settlement has happened is confirming that. >> yes. >> yes. >> jane tim, thank you. >> thanks, jane. >> we are following rare development in ukraine, and both russia and ukraine are confirming more than 200 soldiers are back home today after a prisoner swap on monday, and now a foreign correspondent is joining us on the south lawn, and what do we know about the condition of the soldiers and the fact that it went on the agreement between the two and how unusual is that type of prisoner swap? >> yeah, i mean, you mentioned that it is rare, and it is sort of rare, but it happens enough that it is going to give us a sense that there is room for negotiation, and there is room for conversation in this a

"any day with rudy and sidney is guaranteed gold," wrote one producer for lou dobbs' show.x's argument, which is you've got a sitting u.s. president and his attornys making allegations, that's newsworthy, and fox argues that it had to cover it. >> i mean, i think that's a pretty strong argument. fox didn't invent donald trump. fox didn't invent sidney powell. and even if they hadn't gone on fox they would be out there defaming dominion anyway. so i think fox would say this isn't really our fault, we're just reporting on it. >> reporter: the judge has already ruled that statements broadcast by fox were false and defamatory, and just this past week said fox cannot argue those false statements were newsworthy. still, dominion faces the biggest hurdle of all. to convince a jury that fox and its famous faces acted with actual malice, that they knew the claims were false or had serious doubts about them and aired them anyway. former fox news political editor chris stirewalt. >> didn't you in your deposition say by november 7th when the election was called nobody believed that don

she was back on the air with lou dobbs, continuing the false narrative. meanwhile behind the scenes, the hosts and the executives were all discussing powell in withering terms. in one set of messages revealed in the court filing. tucker carlson told laura ingram that powell was lying. and that he had caught her so ingram responded that sydney is a complete nut. no one will work with her. ditto for rudy. in private. it seems they knew however, in public the narrative continued dominion needs in this case. to meet the very high bar of actual malice. that means that fox had knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth. but from the outside looking in, this seems like a case where that high bar mine actually be met. joining me now is jane kirtley, former executive director for the reporters committee for freedom of the press, and she teaches media law at the university of minnesota. jane thank you so much for being here. you're one of the few. i think who's hoping for a settlement? if i'm right, how come i am hoping for a settlement and i'll tell

any day with rudy and sidney is guaranteed gold, wrote one producer for lou dobbs' show.x's argument, which is you've got a sitting u.s. president and his attorneys making allegations. that's newsworthy. and fox argues that it had to cover it. >> i think that's a strong argument. fox didn't invent donald trump or sidney powell. if they would have been defaming dominion anyway. fox will say this isn't our fault, we are just reporting on it. >> reporter: the judge already ruled that statements broadcast by fox were false and defamatory and this past week said fox cannot argue those false statements were newsworthy. still dominion faces the biggest hurdle of all. to convince a jury that fox and its famous faces acted with actual malice that they knew the claims were false or had serious doubts about them and aired them anyway. former fox news political editor chris stirewalt. didn't you say by november 7th, when the election was called, nobody believed that donald trump had won, right? >> i said no reasonable person. that doesn't include all tv anchors and the category of re

i think lou dobbs will be interesting. he no longer works for the network.rly 2021. i would be very curious to see whether or not the bad blood that may exist between the two has any affect on his testimony. i can imagine he is probably quite disgruntled because he has been thrown under the bus. i just don't know. i would have my eye on the two of them. i think also, suzann, she is key to this case because what you see in her emails with rupert murdoch is she was giving -- she provided a rationale that this is a business decision their pursuit of guests who would espouse the big lie and encouraging their hosts to tamp down on any who sutggested the big lie should not be on the air, that is all -- she makes clear that's because they were terrified of what was happening to their ratings they wanted to preserve their profits. that is the kind of cynical thinking i think that is going to resonate with a jury when it comes to deciding a decision and ultimately damages if it comes to that. >> katie, the evidence that's been amassed seems to have these things so sy

if you are running fox and you realize that having lou dobbs on your staff can be very expensive so itchange some of the internal calculus. what strikes me about this week, a lot of people have said over the years that fox has ruined the republican party. tucker and all this people took over the minds of republicans and they went crazy. with the whole trial shows is that it wasn't fox through the republican party. republican party was running fox. what the reporters believed it was not what they were saying on the air. the lesson for me from the big trial is it's a bottom-up thing not a top-down thing. >> one wonders if an on-air retraction matters at this point given election lie has taken hold. it's the bedrock of donald trump's reelection campaign and he is miles ahead of any other republican. >> i question whether republican -- public apology is necessary. it will only work if the viewers see it. they not covering the trial, they didn't cover january 6 hearings. the hope is because of the discovery and all the text messages and emails that we learned where they were telling lies, i

then you have a separate smartmatic case, firing of lou dobbs, tucker carlson and secret tapes and evidenceginal sin of bending to trump's failed coup plot you look at that up on the screen there and you could imagine rupert murdoch thinking, how many problems you've got, a lot. how many lawyers you got a lot. we first report on this program when these cases began that courts would be a forum that fox could not control or spin, and this is playing out now if you have been following it the courts have proven it much, much tougher on fox and its hosts than issues in journalism and pr that are just debated, perhaps endlessly. they're different for fox in courting a right wing audience or even the other branches of government fox has sway over politicians. the sitting speaker bent to former fox host tucker carlson but courts are not like political branches the evidence and facts revealed through these cases has been exposing these problems with fox, and it's not over there's more court cases to come, as you've seen tonight we reported on the new tapes of ted cruz that come from inside fox we le

specifically somebody like a lou dobbs who embraced some of these theories rather than just allowing people on his show to share them uncritically. so maybe this is going to be an opportunity for dominion to focus on individual actors and try to tie that into a larger case because this is such a complex piece of legislatuion. >> brian, let's talk about the business angle of this this is a roughly billion dollar case right now obviously the jury can decide damages. it doesn't have to go that high. it could go even higher. how able is fox to take a hundreds of millions of dollars hit? >> yeah, well legal experts that i have spoken with said that the $1.6 billion that dthey're askig if is to pick a higher number and set a lower floor. they don't expect that number to be what fox pays but say they pay that amount. fox would be able to pay that. that's because they had over $4 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of their last quarterly report daeted the end of december. so they have the ability to pay that large of a fine without having to sell any assets or make any dramatic changes

smartmatic has accused fox , um attorney rudy giuliani, sidney powell and host lou dobbs, maria bartiromo, jeanine pirro of intentionally lying about smartmatic. how do you prove that this was intentional? well you can start with the fact that that's inherently implausible. everything they just just could not have happened and they know it didn't happen. so we've been doing this for a long time, and there has not been one shred of evidence, not one shred of evidence. to support anything that they were publishing. that's it was all just lies, and they knew it was lies when it came out. do you believe the dominion settlement has made your case even stronger? i don't know if the dominion settlement is particularly relevant to where our cases going. dominion was a company that operated largely in north america, and i think the damages that they were recovering is reflective of some of the damages that they suffered in the united states and in north america, as well as the reputational harm throughout the country. smartmatic is a global company. we operate in the united states, but we operate
