FOX NEWS EXECS BUILD LEGAL TEAM TO FIGHT LAWSUITS for COVID19 MISINFORMATION

[Centerleftfl]

I hope every entity that can SUES THEIR ASSES OFF. FOX, dispensing medical advice without a license--that's the BIG PICTURE. Big and small. Individuals who lost family members whose loved one watched and/or quoted FOX. Do a class action suit of these people. Every association in the medical field AMA down--every one should file AMICUS briefs in every state FOX is being sued in. Perfect vehicle to attach.

Capture every internal memo, subpoena every employee on air talent or not who WAS TOLD stand down about this virus. Every EMAIL and PHONE CALL captured by FOX to WH personnel.

FOX IS CRYING FOUL. FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS. Guess the courts will decide. IT'LL BE years but the balls apparently are in motion!

Amicus briefs are legal documents filed in appellate court cases by non-litigants with a strong interest in the subject matter. The briefs advise the court of relevant, additional information or arguments that the court might wish to consider.

Fox News execs build legal team in anticipation of getting sued for coronavirus misinformation: report

On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that Fox News father-and-son owners Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch are assembling a team of lawyers in preparation for lawsuits against the news network for promoting misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic that could undermine public health.

“According to a top Murdoch executive, the father-and-son media moguls are ready to go to war with potential plaintiffs such as the Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics — aka WASHLITE — an activist non-profit that filed suit on Thursday against Rupert Murdoch, Fox News, and other defendants,” reported Lachlan Cartwright. “The 10-page complaint, first reported by The Times of San Diego and filed in the superior court of Washington state’s King County, seeks a judgment that the Murdoch-controlled outlets violated the state’s consumer protection laws by ‘falsely and deceptively disseminating ‘News’ via cable news contracts that the novel Coronavirus, COVID-19 was a ‘Hoax,’ and that the virus was otherwise not a danger to public health and safety.'”

WASHLITE is seeking only “nominal” damages. Its main goal is to obtain an injunction stopping Fox News from “interfering with or undermining the legitimate control measures imposed within the State of Washington for the limited time period under which the pandemic is brought under control and until the pandemic is brought under control.”

Lily Fu Claffee, general counsel for Fox News, blasted the suit as “wrong on the facts, frivolous on the law,” and warned that “we will defend vigorously and seek sanctions as appropriate.”

Not too long ago Fox News had some legal issues with sexual harassment, and now this, which demonstrates that Fox News is going to have to rethink its position, and become a more ethical News organization.

Become an ethical news organization? That would be one very short conversation in the board room.

That's a three laugher.

I think the total was about $70million to at least 10-12 women. Of course the lions share was 1 lawsuit settled for OREILLY'S assaults and harassment for just one of his victims.

What's more these expenditures were done off the books using secret payouts and SHAREHOLDERS sued for lack of disclosure. That could still be in the courts. DELAY, DELAY, DELAY.
