Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch dismisses $1.6 billion defamation case revelations as ‘noise’
Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch on Thursday dismissed the revelations from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News as “noise,” throwing his support behind the right-wing talk channel in his first comments since the case enveloped the company in major scandal.
“I think a lot of the noise that you hear about this case, is actually not about the law and it’s not about journalism,” Murdoch told the audience at Morgan Stanley’s annual Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference.
...Apparently, elected officials probably shouldn't cry "Fraud!" when someone they don't like wins an election. That someone may take some steps to address the lies, and the actions based on them.

Arizona attorney general sues to stop county election switch
Arizona’s attorney general on Tuesday sued to stop a transfer of election duties in a
rural county where the leaders have embraced voting conspiracy theories.
The Republican majority on the Cochise County Board of Supervisors voted last
week to transfer of all election functions from the nonpartisan elections department
to the county’s elected recorder, also a Republican. The move follows the resignation
of the elections director, who had objected to the board’s efforts to conduct a
full hand count of last year’s vote.
AG Mayes' statement on the matter is here.
...Not really a lawsuit, but it involves lawyers and courts.
Apparently, even lawyers can't be liars. OK, they can't be "seen" as being liars. :)

Trump 2020 lawyer admits misrepresenting stolen election claims
Jenna Ellis, an attorney for Donald Trump who helped drive his false claims about the 2020 election results, has admitted in a Colorado disciplinary proceeding that she misrepresented evidence at least 10 times during Trump’s frantic bid to subvert his defeat.
“Respondent made these misrepresentations on Twitter and on various television programs, including Fox Business, MSNBC, Fox News, and Newsmax,” Colorado’s top disciplinary judge Bryon Large wrote in a six-page opinion. “The parties agree that by making these misrepresentations, Respondent violated [a state attorney rule of conduct], which provides that it is professional misconduct for a lawyer to engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.”
