‘I Did Not Believe It for One Second’: Hannity Testifies Under Oath He Didn’t Buy Trump Election Fraud Claim

[rightwinger]

And now that his wallet is on the line Hannity is squealing like a pig!

Of the Fox hosts, Hannity may have been the least egregious
But his texts declaring the stolen election claims are BS will haunt the network

 

[struth]

Wrong.

The case is about Fox implicating Dominion being involved in a ‘conspiracy’ to commit ‘voter fraud’ where the evidence clearly indicates that Fox knew there as no ‘fraud’ and lied about non-existent fraud to appease their conservative viewers and increase ratings.

It also proves that Fox ‘news’ is dishonest and corrupt, just another rightwing fake news channel propagating misinformation and lies.

it’s whataboutism…no different and actually far less damaging then the russian hoax or the race baiting. msdnc, cnn, xiden et al did

Doesn’t sound like Dominion/Smartmatic are engaging in whataboutism

Fox spread lies they knew were false and continued to do so after they were informed of the truth.

At no point did Fox acknowledge there was no evidence supporting the accusations repeatedly being made by their guests

yep that’s what it is.

fox reported the news..which was rhe allegations…no different then when msdnc reported the lies by xiden or comey et al about the russian hoax or rittenhouse

That is where Fox went wrong

If Fox just had guests that were spouting Dominion lies, they could claim ….People are saying

But their own hosts picked up the lies and reported them as fact. Even though Fox privately admitted there was no proof

That is why Fox will lose Big League

If the Liberal media was sued every time they told a lie about Trump, they would have died from starvation.

Welll.....latest does not look good for FOX, in the Dominion suit:

Fox News is in a 'world of hurt' and facing a 'gargantuan verdict' in billion dollar lawsuit

Reacting to reports that Fox News hosts were spreading 2020 election fraud conspiracies on-air while privately texting each other that there was no truth to them, a former high-ranking Department of Justice official claimed the conservative network can expect to lose big in the lawsuit filed against it by Dominion Voting Systems.
Speaking with MSNBC host Alex Witt, legal analyst Harry Litman stated the network won't have a leg to stand on as they attempt to fend off the billion-dollar lawsuit.
In short, he told the MSNBC host, Fox News is "in a world of hurt."

Trump is free to sue them as he frequently does

He loses but keeps on suing

its actually not just the lies, its the defamation, which requires a false statement to cause injury.

Its a very high bar required to bring a defamation lawsuit. The damage needs to be great and the false statements need to be clearly false.

No judge will take an anti-Liberal case; Liberals burn things down.

oh they have been…and it’s all gonna end the same way.

Biden defamed a teen? who, i cant recall.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Yet, he spread the lies

Which is exactly why I never watched Hannity from day one.
He is simply a more artful, smarter and more effective Keith Olberman or Maddow.
They are all the same. And I wish ALL of them were off the air.

 

[rightwinger]

Not even close

Fox is going to be owned by Dominion

Looks like Hannity is unwilling to lie for Trump..wise move--so it is firmly established that FOX aired lies..knowing they were lies--not a smart move:

Sean Hannity testified under oath in a deposition that he did not believe former President Donald Trump’s claims about voting machine fraud in the 2020 election, according to a piece published by the New York Times on Wednesday.
Mr. Hannity interrupted her with a gentle question that had been circulating among election deniers, despite a lack of supporting proof: Why were Democrats silencing whistle blowers who could prove this fraud?

Did Mr. Hannity believe any of this?

“I did not believe it for one second.”

That was the answer Mr. Hannity gave, under oath, in a deposition in Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, according to information disclosed in a court hearing on Wednesday. The hearing was called to address several issues that need to be resolved before the case heads for a jury trial, which the judge has scheduled to begin in April.
The paper went on to say that Hannity’s testimony “is among the strongest evidence yet to emerge publicly that some Fox employees knew that what they were broadcasting was false.”
The Fox News host responded to a question about allegations made by Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who represented Trump in election-related lawsuits. Trump falsely claimed the election was rigged against him. Powell alleged that states that used voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems were rife with fraud.
She reiterated the claim on Hannity’s Fox News program on Nov. 30, 2020, a couple of weeks after the election was called for Joe Biden. Powell stated there had been “corruption all across the country, in countless districts.”
Trump has baselessly alleged the voting machines “deleted” votes for him and in some cases “switched” votes for him to Biden.
Dominion is suing Fox News for defamation and is seeking $1.6 billion in restitution. The company is also suing Powell.
Lawyers for Dominion argued in court on Wednesday that “not a single Fox witness” has substantiated the allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
“Many of the highest-ranking Fox people have admitted under oath that they never believed the Dominion lies,” said one attorney.
Another lawyer for Dominion said the company had evidence that Fox News tried to stop Powell via the Trump White House from spreading her election fraud claims:
Another previously unknown detail emerged on Wednesday about what was going on inside the Fox universe in those frantic weeks after the election. A second lawyer representing Dominion, Justin Nelson, told Judge Davis about evidence obtained by Dominion showing that an employee of the Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, had tried to intervene with the White House to stop Ms. Powell. According to Mr. Nelson, that employee called the fraud claims “outlandish” and pressed Mr. Trump’s staff to get rid of Ms. Powell, who was advising the president on filing legal challenges to the results.

Fox News declined to comment to the Times and Mediaite.

How is he going to explain that to fat donald?

 

[JimH52]

So he helped promote wild conspiracies he didn't believe.

Guilty.

Fox has been doing that for years.
