Rupert Murdoch, the influential chairman of Fox Corporation, has been at the center of controversy surrounding the spread of election conspiracy theories in the wake of the 2020 US presidential election. Newly released documents from Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit against Fox have shed light on Murdoch's views on the matter, revealing a stark contrast to the network's on-air rhetoric. According to the documents, Murdoch expressed skepticism about the validity of these conspiracy theories, suggesting that they were unfounded and potentially damaging to the network's reputation. The revelation raises questions about the extent to which Fox's leadership was aware of the misinformation being peddled by its on-air personalities, and whether they took adequate steps to correct it.
