rupert murdoch, testifying under oath by lawyers. when asked why he did not stop the lies about dominion, the lawsuit is about, said i could have, but i did not. in any other civil case, that would be an admission of liability that the defendant could not survive. but with that admission under oath, the only thing standing here between rupert murdoch and the billion dollar judgment against him in court, it's the first amendment. fox defense so far, it rests entirely on the first amendment journalistic principle that what donald trump was saying about the election was newsworthy, and fox had a first amendment right to cover it uncritically. dominion needs to prove that rupert murdoch and fox executives, in the fox entertainers, on television, they knew it was all a lie, and they pushed it anyways. dominion has taken the discovery process a long way to proving that everybody at fox knew that it was a lie. dominion's filing today, as we've learned, the fox lawyers were worried about sean hannity saying that it will be impossible to ever

rupert murdoch's deposition. the filing goes on to say, there you have it, foxcorp chairman rupert murdoch admitted under oath that the host of the accused fox shows endorsed this idea of a stolen election. jason johnson, you're nodding your head. i don't have words yet. i'm not shocked. it's so disinagainous. >> it's shocking to read it in black and white. it's like, we're not crazy. they knew it was b.s., too. built barr knew it. they all knew it was a lie. >> right, right. to throw all of this on lou dobbs, no, no, he was the ohm outliars, and it's disingenuous, it wasn't our hosts, bur our guests and comment tailors, your hosts were bringing those people on, while texting to others that they're nut jobs, and everything else. i don't know how legally fox can get out of this, but i think it's very, very telling to me, again, nicolle, as we were just talking, it's not going to change a thing how they operate unless they get hit with fines or penalties. >> what i keep thinking we only know this, because -- has mo

rupert murdoch responds: thanks, paul.wake up call for hannity privately disgusted by trump for weeks but scareed to lose viewers. it is inexcusable. >> privately disgusted. private not so much. when i covered it, so much evidence showed fox played some sort of role, hosts discussing election lie. january 6th panel continuously mentioning. they kind of drop bread crumbs. when i was sitting in the hearing room, whether live testimony of one of the rioters or tape interviews, how baked in the misinformation was. yes, i believed that the election was stolen. i kept thinking, how do they get to that point they stormed the cap capitol? this is a personification what we heard from rupert murdoch, misinformation did lead to these events. >> it has been a long, long, long time especially prime time, fox is about opinion. rupert murdoch specifically named sean hannity, and maureen and lou dobbs. >> it will be impossible to ever know the true, fair, accurate election results. >> sydney powell leading charge against dominion, she has

but on election night, rupert would not help with the or arizona call as rupert said my friend jared kushner called me saying this is terrible. i could hear donald trump's voice in the background shouting. and he said the numbers in the numbers. he said you seriously deny, any claim election fraud? he doubted it from the beginning? yes. we thought everything was on the up and up, i think that was shown when we showed arizona that is the point. however, he shared debate strategy with the trump campaign and confidential information about biden's ads? >> i think there's two ways to look at what we're looking at. what is a legal case, so whether dominion has any legal action against fox and whether they went. but outside of that, this exposes fox news for what it is. in this case we're seeing now that murdaugh was seemingly willing to help jared kushner and the trump campaign have an edge over biden. we saw in the previous filing, where he said do whatever you can to help in the georgia special election. i'm assuming that doesn't mean helped emma crowds. so it really has exposed fox for

now, rupert murdoch is a survive. we've never underestimated him here on "the beat" and the way we cover how he moves. he thinks this is his best play right now. he also has lived a live in politics where just about everything is negotiable to him. as another student of politics once explain, mos def, numbers is hard and real and they never have feelings. you push too hard, numbers got limits. why did one straw break the camel's back? here's the secret, the million other straws underneath it. a pile of lies finally possibly catching up with fox, whether it breaks the camel's back for a billion dollars is actually the next question in this high-stakes case. emily bazalon and rick wilson are here. we're back in 60 seconds. 60 secs with a majority of my patience with sensitivity, i see irritated gums and weak enamel. sensodyne sensitivity gum & enamel relieves sensitivity, helps restore gum health, and rehardens enamel. i'm a big advocate of recommending things that i know work. (vo) with verizon, you can now get a priva

rupert murdoch, i think you've shown me material in support of that.stion, in fact, you are now aware that fox endorsed the false notion of a stolen election? answer, no, not fox. maybe lou dobbs. jeanine pirro? i think so. lou dobbs? oh, a lot. sean hannity? a bit. all were in that document, correct? yes, they were. about fox endorsing the narrative of a stolen election, correct? >> no, some of our commentators were endorsing it. he's literally saying only the people on our air were saying it, but not fox news. that doesn't sound like a defense either. >> it's definitely not. what's amazing about this is it's bad enough as a tv host if you put somebody on and give them a platform. that's actionable, meaning you can sue somebody for that and recover for that. there's also evidence that's come out of this case that rupert murdoch, lachlan murdoch, they had their hands meddling in the day-to-day operations. they weren't benevolent dictators that didn't know what was going on. the defamation and responsibility goes from top to bottom. that's a critical po

it's just crazy, and it's all about the green, as rupert says.s all -- you know, on page 17, there's a section that starts with how frantic the executives are at the thought that they're going to lose viewers to news max and oan if they tell the truth. we can't do that, we can't level with our audience, because heaven forbid we will lose viewers. that's not the way journalism works. >> right, and we have a recent one to one comparison. there are many newspapers that for a range of structural reasons were losing a lot of reader and losing traction and losing money, and many of those papers continued to keep their factual boundaries, and some of them pivoted and survived, and some of them we know hit harder times and layoffs. of course if you print lies on the front page, if you abuse and corrupt the one thing that is the baseline of journalism, you can find an audience for that. that's why conspiracy theories move so far. none of those newspapers that i'm aware of, did anything like what fox was doing on the road to the insurrection. so, again, th

rupert murdoch.the deposition compared with what the hosts were saying in realtime, telling people who were watching on air. one of the questions he was asked was, you're now aware that fox endorsed times this false notion of a stolen election. murdoch answered, not fox, no, not fox. but maybe lou dobbs, maybe maria as commentators. the lawyer asked, question, we went through fox host maria bartiromo, yes, come on. >> sidney, we talked about the dominion software. i know there were voting irregularities. tell me about that. >> that's to put it mildly. the computer glitches could not and should not have happened at all. that is where the fraud took place. >> then murdoch was asked, what about fox host janine pirro, he answered, quote, i think so. >> the president's lawyers alleging a company called dominion, which they say started in venezuela with cuban money a back door is capable of flipping votes. >> another question posed to murdoch, fox business host lou dobbs, his answer, oh, a lot. >> this pre

rupert murdoch said, yes, they endorsed.veals, again, the disdain that rupert murdoch has for these election lies. he referred to them at one point as bs. and damaging in an e-mail, and he's also said that he wishes the network did more to tamp down these conspiracy theories. of course hindsight, wolf, is 2020, and when you're being sued for $1.6 billion, that might result in doing things a different way. >> what else stands out to you in this brand new brief that has just been released. and just how serious is the legal threat right now that is available for fox? >> well, i think it's quite serious because when you go beyond reporting, fox defense is, well, we were just reporting. but when you go beyond reporting and your chairman admits there was endorsement, then that opens you up to liability under the actual malice standard. and, wolf, it's not just $1.6 million. if the jury decides that this conduct was egregious enough and much that is in here continues to be shocking, that's bristling almost 200 pages, every page has

>>> swearing to tell the truth, rupert murdoch admitted fox lies to its viewers. "the lead" starts right now. top fox executive rupert murdoch under oath admitted election lies peddled on his network were simply a business decision, saying, quote, it is not red or blue, it is green. what else did murdoch admit? plus, when winning the battle does not end the danger. cnn treks across a booby tracked land littered with mines in ukraine. >>> but first, the supreme court on the record. hear what the justices said about president biden's plan to cancel billions of dollars in student loan debt, and whether biden even remotely has the authority to do so. welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. we're starting today in the money lead in fate of president biden's plan to wipe out $400 billion, that's b with a billion now rests with the supreme court. justices today heard oral arguments in two cases challenging biden's plan. the biden administration argued yeah, they have the power to forgive financial loans in order to protect americans brought in by the covid pandemic. six

rupert murdoch's testimony is disastrous.as going to be or what i thought it would be as we were covering this because it was newsworthy and we were endorsing it it. in this testimony he said, we did endorse it but he tries to draw this artificial line. it's all our anchors but not outs. what is fox, if not it's anchors, it's not going to work. >> big picture more conservative justice mark to revisit times versus sullivan and the malice standard trying to potentially change where the boris. could this case to change that president overall? >> it is possible but i don't think that will happen. the movement and the chatter has been why don't we make it easier to sue media organizations. i don't think ultimately the supreme court will want to go down this path. the bar is high and it has been high for 50 years and frankly i think right, left, conservative and liberal the supreme court wants to keep it hot as well. >> they were trying to get them not to put too giuliani on the air. about platforming election liars. >> and without

rupert murdoch essentially throwing several reporters under the train.ire organization knows that it's a lie and they continue to push it. as he also detailed, you know, they're basically acting not as a news organization, but as an arm of the republican party. so it's all revealing and stunning, as you say, it's also totally down the middle for the legal claim they're making, because we know it's false and it really will come down to, did they know it's false? and this most recent filing has vivid details, especially including murdoch, who oddly is ready to give up on a lot of reporters, but wants to say that fox itself didn't do that. that's not sort of a legal distinction. and dominion, i think, will get to trial in a couple of months and will be able to prove, it seems, an overwhelming case, that fox news and at a minimum was reckless about that. and also counts under the law that it was spreading falsehoods that translates into defamation. >> all right, harry lipman, you gave us a lot to chew on there. thank you for breaking all of that down for us.

that is how the head of the fox news empire when rupert murdoch describes the lies being beamed into the homes of millions of americans every single day by his network in the wake of the 2020 election. an extraordinary new filing by dominion voting systems, the voting machine company that was the target of baseless conspiracies by the ex-president and his allies including in the media. in its $1.6 billion defamation case pierces the hermetically sealed bubble that is fox news. the network that drives the conversation and conduct in the republican party and on the right like none other. it shows that hosts on fox news either peddled the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen from trump or gave the platform for people to spread the big lie that the election was stolen from trump for one reason and one reason only, fear, terror really of losing viewers and tumbling stock prices and viewers migrating to more radical outlets. messages and emails obtained by dominion along with testimony from fox news employees and hosts reveals that it was well known and bantered about inside fox news
