Both Fox News and CNN Sued Over Their Reporting

Fox News has been hit with another billion-dollar-plus lawsuit.

Dominion Voting Systems has filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, saying the network spread false claims that the voting machine company was involved in voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

"Fox sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process," according to the lawsuit filed Friday in Delaware. "If this case does not rise to the level of defamation by a broadcaster, then nothing does."

Fox News released a statement saying, "Fox News is proud of our 2020 election coverage, which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism, and will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit in court."

Fox is so proud of their reporting that after Luo Dobbs was allowed to drag Dominion’s name through the mud for weeks after the election, Fox pulled Dobbs from their air.

Over at CNN, that cable news net is also being sued.

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's brother and sister-in-law sued CNN in federal court for $75 million on Thursday, stating they were defamed by a report last month alleging they were members of the QAnon conspiracy group.

Jack and Leslie Flynn, who live in Rhode Island, alleged in U.S. District Court in New York City that the CNN report on Feb. 4 falsely portrayed them as members of QAnon by selectively airing and editing video footage of the pair.

Leslie Flynn said in a statement that her family was intent on fighting a disparagement campaign against Gen. Flynn's family.

"Enough is enough with CNN, and the lies about our family,” she said. "We cannot sit by any longer and allow CNN to disparage our good name. This has got to stop."

CNN did not comment on the lawsuit.
