Fox News’ biggest stars—and even some executives—were caught viciously trash-talking each other and even expressed doubts about the network’s reporting on the 2020 election, sccording to newly filed court documents from a billion-dollar defamation lawsuit filed against the cable giant by Dominion Voting Systems.
A number of hosts, including rabidly pro-Trump firebrands like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, lashed out at key Trumpworld figures and insulted them in bitter terms, calling their desperate attempts to overturn the election “crazy” and “insane,” according to text messages included in the filing.
Even Rupert Murdoch, the company’s powerful chairman, lashed out at Trump’s claims of widespread election fraud, describing them as “really crazy stuff.”
In one particularly revealing exchange, Carlson savaged Sidney Powell, one of the attorneys who very publicly sought to overturn the 2020 election, and appeared on the Fox’s airwaves often.
“Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane,” the primetime host wrote to Ingraham just a few weeks after the 2020 election.
“Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy,” she responded.
