................Attorneys for Dominion said Fox News behavior differs greatly from that of other media outlets that reported on the claims.
This was a conscious, knowing business decision to endorse and repeat and broadcast these lies in order to keep its viewership, said attorney Justin Nelson, of Susman Godfrey.
.........................
Dominion has also sued Giuliani, Powell and the CEO of Minnesota-based MyPillow over the claims. A rival technology company, Smartmatic USA, also sued Fox News over election claims. Unlike Dominion, Smartmatics participation in the 2020 election was restricted to Los Angeles County.
Dominion lawyers said they have not yet filed lawsuits against specific media personalities at Fox News but the door remains open. Some at Fox News knew the claims were false but their comments were drowned out, lawyers said.
