Fox opposes fellow journalists trying to uncover documents

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News is opposing a renewed effort by three news organizations to unseal documents related to its recently settled defamation lawsuit, saying it would do nothing but “gratify private spite or promote public scandal.”
The Associated Press, The New York Times and National Public Radio asked a Delaware judge earlier this week to reveal mostly private text messages and conversations between Fox employees shortly after the 2020 presidential election that were uncovered during the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit.
Fox lawyer Katharine L. Mowery, in a letter sent late Wednesday to Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis, said much of the material its competitors sought wasn't relevant to the issues of the lawsuit. She said the media has no right to access such records.
Many of the already-uncovered conversations have proven newsworthy, showing that Fox hosts and executives didn't believe the false allegations about Dominion's voting equipment but still continued to air them. Another batch of messages revealed former Fox host Tucker Carlson's scorn for former President Donald Trump, including one text where he declared, “I hate him passionately.”
“They have not been shy about sharing the communications with the most potential to grab headlines,” Mowery wrote of the media challenging the sealed documents.
One of the reasons Fox agreed to settle the case was to “buy peace and bring an end to the media spectacle,” she wrote.
The news organizations said the documents, most of which Fox said it redacted because it contained proprietary information about the company, were still relevant.
Fox agreed last month to pay $787 million to end the case. Dominion had accused the network of repeatedly airing bogus claims that its voting equipment rigged the 2020 election against Trump, despite knowing those claims were false.
& we all know the last thing Fox News wants to do is gratify private spite or promote public scandal.
why. fox has portrayed and continues to portray themselves in a certain light. these redactions would seem to factually contradict that portrayal.
fox doesn't need or care about ad revenue to be profitable. its all about carriage fees, which they look to increase as they renegotiate contracts in 23 and 24 from a total of 1.3 billon to 1.8 billion. they only reason I can see they can command such fees, is eyeballs.
the truth of these redactions would seem to be to put those negotiations in jeopardy.
unseal and show that company for what it is. then let the shareholders sue.

It's very evident as it is. They had to pay a lot of money to have those sealed too, not that it's right but it was part of an agreement. You shouldn't be allowed to unseal a document after it's legal agreement in a court of law.

unsealing happens every fucking day. you petition the court, if your petition has merit , documents unsealed.

Faux needs to be exposed for the frauds they are for the “public interest,” particularly since they advertise themselves as “fair and balanced,” and have yet to air any retractions of their knowingly and admitted false reporting. As they are still allowed to broadcast, it’s in the “public interest” to report on their internal chicanery so that consumers and advertisers can make an informed decision as to their legitimacy, and decide whether to “consume” their content or spend their money on them.

No shit sherlock. I should have been more clear so the vultures don't come after me as usual...
I don't see what good opening these will do? Everybody seems to know the shit show that went on over there. I don't think they are reopened. What "merit" is going to come from it?

But, what bad would come of them being unsealed?

What's that they say about sunlight being the best disinfectant?

Maybe Faux viewers will come out of their coma and join reality?
I have noticed Fox News repeatedly posting a story about how Bud Light is being given away free to distributors because it isn't selling...that it is losing it's status as the top light beer in the US, etc.
I'm not seeing that story anywhere else.
It's literally 18 straight days with a deadline. I've been counting. No joke
Also, the other day three of the top six stories were about trans people. And if you read the comments, people post "yeah I'm sick of these trannies shoving it down our throats." Not recognizing for a moment that it's Fox doing it.
You gotta love the purposeful display of their “Christianity” with their ability to dog whistle. ‘Murikkka, yea! And apparently, Faux hasn’t learned a thing.

I just read that NYT article. I actually don't think her joke was that bad.
"After coming out of video showing a drum-beating mixed-race crowd chanting about Neely’s death, McEnany said “Justice or burn it down — well at least they have rhythm,” evoking a stereotype about Black people."
According to that, they were apparently using a drum as part of the chant, and she commented about the rhythm. I haven't seen the video, but based on the description, you have a dream-beating protest and someone comments on the rhythm, that's not that big of a deal. Find something else to get upset over.
