Fox Corp (FOXA.O), opens new tab, the parent of Fox News Network, failed to convince a New York state appeals court to dismiss a defamation claim in electronic voting systems company Smartmatic's $2.7 billion lawsuit over the network's 2020 post-election coverage. A five-judge panel of the Appellate Division in Manhattan ruled on Thursday that Smartmatic sufficiently alleged the Fox parent was directly liable for on-air statements suggesting Smartmatic helped rig the 2020 U.S. presidential election to favor Democrat Joe Biden over Republican Donald Trump.

Faux is hoping Aileen Cannon will ride to the rescue.

Says right here on Bloomberg that Fox has the cash, and the ability float debt to pay. Smartmatic should also ask for an invite to the Hannity-Earnhart wedding, just for the hell of it...

FOX needn't worry. They'll be Trump's official "State Run Media" soon and be able to lie their asses off with impunity.

It's only a short matter of time before Trump has the FCC licenses of liberal leaning media revoked and "Freedom of the Press" dies on the vine.
