What’s one way to stop misinformation? It might just be a giant
defamation lawsuit. This week, media titan Rupert Murdoch was
deposed in a $1.6 billion suit brought by Dominion Voting Systems
against Fox News and Fox Corporation. They allege Fox knowingly and
maliciously aired baseless claims accusing Dominion of an election
fraud conspiracy. Somewhat surprisingly, instead of settling out of
court, Fox News is denying the allegations, and the case is
scheduled to go to trial in April. To unpack the lawsuit and
the revelations it has brought (and will continue to bring) to
light, we turned to New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters, who says
this could be “one of the most consequential First Amendment cases
in a generation.” He breaks down the case, the souring
Murdoch-Trump alliance and Fox News’s future. Plus, we review Ron
DeSantis’s chances in 2024 (outlook: not good) and Ben Shapiro and
Elon Musk’s chances of one day besting Murdoch (outlook: somewhat
better). You can find Kara and Nayeema on Twitter @karaswisher and
