Fox News on election fraud

Did Murdoch just hand Dominion the case?
A second batch of documents supporting Dominion Voting System’s motion for summary judgment in its defamation lawsuit against Fox News was released on Monday, highlighting deposition comments made by Rupert Murdoch—chair of Fox News’ parent company—that seemed to acknowledge several Fox commentators promoted false claims about the 2020 election, and that he could have stopped them if he wanted to. “I would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing it in hindsight,” Murdoch said, acknowledging that Fox was “uniquely positioned to state the message that the election was not stolen.”

@jon-nyc said in Fox News on election fraud:
Paywall, but CNN has a similar story:
From a totally legal standpoint, I have a couple of questions (not that I'm agreeing with Hannity, etc).
“Some of our commentators were endorsing it,,” Murdoch said, according to the filing, when asked about the talk hosts’ on-air positions about the election. “I would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing it, in hindsight,” he added.
Why is Dominion asking Murdoch what the on-air hosts said while on the air? Should that be a matter of public record because...it was on the air?
If the hosts publicly said something, that should be easily provable. If the said something privately, does Dominion have a case?
And this:
Also revealed in Dominion’s filing, Rupert Murdoch gave Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, “confidential information about [President Joe] Biden’s ads, along with debate strategy” in 2020, “providing Kushner a preview of Biden’s ads before they were public,” the court filing states.
Geezbus. Rupert. What were you thinking?
