The ouster of Dobbs, who was Fox Business’s top-rated host, is merely the latest evidence of the very real impact of the legal threats from Smartmatic and another voting machine company, Dominion.
After the initial threats were made, Fox News and Fox Business https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2020/12/19/lou-dobbs-debunk-fact-check-smartmatic/?itid=lk_inline_manual_5 (ran deposition-esque segments) on the shows of the three anchors now sued by Smartmatic — Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro — downplaying the evidence for such claims. Newsmax read a statement on air saying pretty much the same thing, and it has since https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2021/02/02/newsmax-mike-lindell-my-pillow/?itid=lk_inline_manual_5 (awkwardly tried to shut down MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell) when he made such claims. One America News has ridiculed its far-right competitor for “censoring” Lindell, but it has quietly removed several stories about Dominion from its website. And the station carrying Rudolph W. Giuliani’s radio show on Thursday played a disclaimer distancing itself from claims made on the show, to Giuliani’s chagrin.
Also reinforcing the potential legal jeopardy: Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel recently acknowledged that, during a particularly far-flung news conference held by Giuliani and then-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell at the RNC, she was “concerned it was happening in my building” and thought about “what is the liability of the RNC if these allegations are made and unfounded?”
We’re about to find out — not for the RNC, which hasn’t been sued, but for the parties it hosted and for the media companies that provided often-credulous airwaves to them. Along with Smartmatic suing Fox and its three hosts, both it and Dominion are suing Giuliani and Powell. And Dominion has signaled its legal action could expand significantly.
