but if -- >> rupert murdoch and suzanne scott do nothing as brett and neil cavuto were shamed by theother hosts. let me show you what happened on tucker carlson's show yesterday. >> good evening, and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. we haven't taken a poll, but it's possible on this thursday evening you may be wondering what the hell is going on in our country. there are so many unanswered questions. some of them linnering. how, for example, did senile permit joe biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss, rock star crowd surfer barack obama? results like that would seem to defy the laws of known physics and qualify as a miracle. was the 2020 election a miracle? honestly we don't know and don't expect to get an answer to it tonight. >> they're still peddling. don't mention dominion because they're being sued for billions but still peddling the lie. >> it suits them clearly it is a financial motive to do it to keep their viewers and something you mentioned made me think about this. you know, it's not as though every host on that show is just reading. they're not ron burgun

rupert murdoch to suzanne scott, all very well for sean hannity to tell you he was in despair about trumpx news hosts knew exactly what was true, what was not, but they did not present the truth to their audience. i think this is just a really damning mountain of evidence for the network, victor. >> and then if it was the white house correspondent was trying to fact check something on twitter, and there was a host who says, she should be fired for that. i'm paraphrasing here. get back to the line. what is fox saying about this, if anything? >> well, it is not just any host either. it is tucker carlson, you know. >> sure. >> the top-rated network host who is texting sean hannity, the second highest host on the network, saying, "how can we get her fired" and sean hannity says he has brought this to the attention of the fox news ceo suzanne scott. now, the network is not commenting on the specific matter although a person familiar with it did tell me jackie heinrich, the correspondent, was totally blind sided when she read this in the legal filing yesterday. but fox news is just saying that

another part, dominion's filing, he uncovers -- or they uncover that murdoch asked fox news ceo suzanne scottcould ask host sean hannity if he could say something supportive of lindsey graham. quote, we cannot lose the senate if at all possible, and that also jives with the fact that murdoch, in the previous filing, was uncovered to have said that she needed -- suzanne scott gi s also senate ection. and another revelation from this filing here is that murdoch gave jared ckushner, apparently, confidential information about biden's ads before the republican and shared debate strategy with jared kushner, who was then a senior adviser to president trump. so really, just striking revelations from this dominion filing. things you normally would not see in an actual news network. these things would normally result in investigations, internally, disciplinary action, but at fox, it was coming from the highest-ranking executives. >> and it seems that the discipline was meted out to the people who pushed the truth. there were staffers and, you know, talent who were punished for pushing back on the elect

sean hannity, as he told suzanne scott, the ceo of fox news, knew that joe biden had been legitimately elected. the president -- and to your point about the wind, i don't think that should go lost on your audience. the evidence that sydney powell had, that she presented to fox news producers and hosts, was an email from a woman who is delusional, who said she could hear the wind speaking to her, and that she had been killed in a prior life. they have this in their hands. and they put sydney powell on the air anyway as a woman who is the voice of the trump administration, saying that this is why she believed the election had been stolen through dominion machines. that is all in this case. that's just a tip of the iceberg. let's not forget, there is a lot that we don't know, alex. there's a lot in this complaint that's been redacted that we still cannot see. if you were to look at it, there are paragraphs and pages that are blacked out that we will eventually see what is behind those. and from what i am told, what is there is even more explosive than what we have already seen. >> just fo

meanwhile, you're seeing people like suzanne scott, the chief executive of fox news, not articulating a journalistic regime or some notion of discipline, but do it care film and calmly. she's essentially saying i have to manage all these ego maniacs who are stars in primetime. they have no further control like roger ailes used to. she is trying to manage, so when journalist are are publicly affecting, you're seeing them being call the upon to be fired and some of these ultimately pull down their tweets, because it's enraging the people who make it so profitable and possible. i think something something revealatory in its their own words, when you read in the sedition trials, you see through the -- different aspect, but you see the same apparatus, make some that nobody breaks pace, nobody blowing the cover. there was in moment in july of 2018, i couldn't get over. i played it like four times it happened. it's trump saying the quiet part out loud, don't believe what you see, don't believe what you hear, believe me. watch. >> just remember, what you're seeing and what you're reading is n

>> that stood out to me, the way in which fox's chief executive, suzanne scott, expressed anger at themanaging editor, bill salmon, who is part of the team that projected arizona for going to the biden column in when rankings, she said he has an obligation to protect our brand here. and he destroyed that, i believe tucker carlson used the phrase vandalism to describe that call. at the same time, there is no consideration for the idea that there should be some damage that fox news brand, if you stray from the facts. if you hide the truth from your audience, even if it's unwelcome, the idea that it's a conservative news outlet is fine, we should have msnbc has certainly opinion journalists there. but if you are willing to admit facts against you rooting interest, if you're not willing to square with your audience, then you're really not in the news business. and i think the idea that that wasn't being considered by people at the top ranks of fox, again and again, as people were promoting or amplifying these clearly false, clearly in the moment discredited claims, tells you what they view

it's rupert murdoch and suzanne scott, the ceo.is definition testimony gives the lawsuit a lot of weight. legal experts will tell you it's a compelling case. typically with media and defamation cases the first amendment covers them broadly. in this one i think the plaintiffs have something going on that could be strong. >> she invoked your name. >> and we ask you about that? she makes a great point. the bar is high for defamation in terms of a media organization. this takes it further and this is the minion asking for a summary judgment we think the evidence is so compelling here we do not think this needs to go to trial. >> they are asking a judge to rule in their favor. the first amendment is very broad, especially for media organizations, the line here, the legal line is called actual malice and we get that from a supreme court case in 1964 with the "new york times." palm bay it seems like you went to lawsuit. >> it is the basis. the plaintiff have to show alive was told and think about the words we seek fox news anchors and exe

he is in contact with suzanne scott and apparently, the message did get down to the reporter who ultimatelyosted another version of the fact check but it is really striking to see that the people who are running this network and the people that fox executives are in line with our not the news anchors, it is the propagandists. >> thank you. >>> coming up, we are going to take you inside of a combat brigade as we are warned the war is going to drag on. you coululd earn your master's degree in less than a year for under $1$11k. leararn more at phoenix.edu. meet a future mom, a first-time mom and a seasoned pro. this mom's one step closer to their new mini-van! yeah, you'll get used to it. this mom's depositing money with tools on-hand. cha ching. and this mom, well, she's setting an appointment here, so her son can get set up there and start his own financial journey. that's because these moms all have chase. smart bankers. convenient tools. one bank with the power of both. chase. make more of what's yours. [ marcia ] my dental health was not good. i had periodontal disease, and i just didn't

he says to suzanne scott, it has been suggested our prime three should go out and say something liker and joe biden one. that statement will go a long way to stop the trump myth. it didn't happen but it was talked about. >> they were afraid of donald trump or others opening up a competitor to them. i think ultimately was what i took away from it. >> just very quickly i wonder even if they had said that, would there viewers have believed it? >> you get to a point where you reap what you sow. >> donald trump said go to another network and a lot of them did. what they are doing is looking for another opportunity to reaffirm a believe that they already had and that is what is really scary here that they are digging deeper into that mindset. >> there is this one moment and i say this because i mentioned this earlier. i remember this day. i came originally from the business journalist world. -- is a respected journalists. he had this moments where he cut off the press secretary for the white house. he cut her off. she was pushing baseless allegations of fraud and he got to the point where

sean hannity than complain, to suzanne scott, the boss of the network, relaying sean heavy's complaintsng to other fox executive saying, shawn texted me. he standing down on responding, but not happy about this and doesn't underhand understand how this is allowed to happen from anyone in news. she, meaning heinrich, has a serious nerve doing this. if this gets picked up, viewers are going to be further disgusted. by the next morning, heinrich had deleted her fact checking tweet. the dominion 178 page prove proves, repeatedly, that fox knew was lying about an election, stolen by dominion voting machines. it was five days after the election with it. tommy fourth, the producer for laura ingraham show texted, this dominion shift is going to give me an effing aneurysm. here is sean hannity, presenting sydney powell when he knew, and everyone at fox knew, and rupert murdoch knew, that she was lying. >> we have evidence of corruption all across the country, in countless districts. the machine ran an algorithm that shaved votes from trump, awarded them to biden, and they were trash to the votes

lawsuit, the day before the january 6th attack on the capitol, rupert murdoch and fox news ceo suzanne scotted the idea of having fox prime time stars sean hannity, tucker carlson and laura ingraham go on the air on the eve of the attack and make it clear to viewers that biden had won the election. scott told murdoch they needed to be careful about, quote, missing off the viewers. so none of the anchors ever made a statement like that. >> unbelievable. brian todd, thank you so much. with us to discuss, lonnie chen, a pobl policy director for mitt romney's presidential campaign, president of the center for american progress action fund. and lanhee, not only did fox peddle the election lies, but we learned that executives silenced or punished employees ops who were trying to tell the truth. schepp smith, no longer at fox. leland vittert branded as smug for a tone that was not a celebration of the president, also no longer at fox. and the washington bureau chief who called arizona for trump, bill sammon was fired to send a, quote, big message with trump people. i understand there is a need for

you saw the chief executive suzanne scott lashing out at their washington managing editor, senior executivelitical news for the network because he took part in fox news's call of arizona for joe biden, which was what its audiences did not want to hear. people talked internally about breaking credibility and trust between fox news and its viewership built up over pony five years. -- over 25 years. you don't hear them talking about how credit ability and trust can be broken by not sticking to the facts and yet fox news time again brought on people, including than president trump but also his surrogates like sidney powell, rudy giuliani and others, to make claims that they were mocking and denigrating and trashing behind the air to one another. they knew it was false but they were trying to rebuild that trust in a hurry as millions of viewers fled fox, often for a more conservative, smaller rival. geoff: you mentioned sidney powell, sean hannity said in a deposition, "the whole narrative sidney powell was pushing, i did not believe it for one second." how has fox news responded to all of this

they show in excruciating detail the highest ranking executives at fox news, rupert murdoch, suzanne scott-- fraud claims from the trump team were nonsense. they used very harsh language to describe them. but they allowed the lies to take hold on the network's air. and they show, the messages show that the talents over at fox news and the executives were very worried after the election of the audience rebelling. that they were going to news max, you remember that donald trump was attacking fox news saying turn the channel. go to this news max channel which is saturating the airwaves with election denialism. they were worried about this. and not only did they turn a blind eye to the election lies, but they even in some cases tried cracking down on those fact checking trump. there is one case where white house correspondent fact checked trump and tucker carlson and shawn hannity were talking about getting her fired. that's how lacking of basic journalistic ethics were at place in fox news. the messages really expose it. >> we've seen what fox said about this. they said there will be a lot of

in an email to fox news ceo suzanne scott, murdock wrote that news max needed to be watched and didn'twant to antagonize trump further and stressing everything at stake here. what might he have meant by everything? the big three cable news networks earned an estimated $5.7 billion in advertising revenue and license fees, up 3% from the previous year. when fox reporter jackie heinrich fact checked a trump sweet pointing out a lack of evidence of voter fraud, tucker carlson texted please get her fired, seriously, what the f. i'm shocked, it needs to stop immediately, like tonight. it's measurably hurting the company. the stock price is down, not a joke. by the way, last week that same tucker carlson had the highest rated show on cable news with 3.5 million viewers. a fox spokesperson has claimed that dominion mischaracterized the record in its court filing and cherry-picked the quotes that were stripped of any key context. regardless of the ultimate outcome of the defamation action, the evidence is a stunning indictment of the fox brand. but here is a question. will their audience ever k

but he says to suzanne scott on january 5th, it's been suggested our prime three should go out and sayis over and joe biden won. that statement would go a long way to stop the trump myth. didn't happen. but it was actually talked about. >> yeah. i think they were afraid of donald trump or others opening up a competitor to them. i think ultimately was what i took away from it. and so they ultimately decided not to do it. >> just very quickly, i wonder even if they had said that would their viewers have believed it. and i wonder -- >> you can't -- you reap what you sow. >> because donald trump said go to another network and a lot of them did. so what they're doing is looking for another opportunity to reaffirm a belief that they already had. and that's what's really scary here, that they're digging deeper into that mindset. >> and there's this one moment, and i say this because i mentioned this earlier, i remember this day. i came originally from the business journalism world. so neil cavuto is a very respected business journalist, a respected journalist at fox. he had this moment where

foxy eo suzanne scott told rupert that privately, they are all there. but we need to be careful about using the shows. and pacing off the viewers. so that nobody makes that mistake. the next day was january 6th. and so there they are, the day before. that statement could've gone up, it would've been an easy statement to, right pretty easy statement to get out there. but they chose not to do this, understanding its value, they understood that it could have real value. they didn't know what was coming the next day. but the next day, we got what was coming. and because fox did absolutely nothing to slow down what was coming. >> that's absolutely right, that's one of the biggest megaphones in the world. had they said something on january 5th, had they said something after the election, in order to affirm that the election results were fair, honest, none of this might have happened. and so the fact that they deliberately allowed them to continue lying about it, it's just such a palpable demonstration that they don't care about anything. they have continued,

documents also revealed conversations between murdoch and suzanne scott. hosts to say the election is over and joe biden won. but the documents say scott told him we need to be careful about using the shows and pissing off the viewers. over night in a statement, fox news writing dominion's lawsuit has always been more about what will generate headlines than what could withstand legal and financial scrutiny. adding violations are a blatant violence of the first amendment. dominion responded and said the company's a strong believer in the first amendment and its protections, but also makes the point that the first amendment doesn't give this broad cover for people to spread lies. >> i want to ask about the first amendment here because all of the news organizations out there work under that banner and that's how we do our jobs. it's how we can present allegations and report much of the news we report. but if you look at the time period that dominion is saying fox was slandering them. if you looked at all of the other major networks, msnbc, nbc, abc, cbs news,

suzanne scott in one message said, the arizona call, that call that fox made declaring biden winner ofht our stars and plant flags letting the viewers know we are here for them and we respect them. and then washington managing editor bill salmon said it is remarkable how weak ratings make good journalists do bad things. this is really damning admissions behind the scenes from fox executives, from fox stars, really painting a bleak picture of how this network operates. >> we also saw, oliver, an interesting tid bit about then president trump trying to call into the network to try and do an interview during the capitol attack. can you explain that? >> reporter: that's right. apparently according to this dominion filing and this wasn't even exposed during the january 6 hearings, but according to this dominion filing trump tried calling in to lou dobbs' show during the january 6th attack and fox refused to put him on air with an executive saying it would have been irresponsible given i think what the rhetoric we heard from trump during that day to allow him to go on and address viewers. so
