Bill O’Reilly & Glenn: Could THIS lawsuit SINK Fox News?



Fox News is currently under some pressure.

The network is battling against defamation claims in court from Dominion Voting Systems, which claims that certain hosts should not have shared allegedly incorrect allegations made by President Donald Trump.

According to Glenn, there are rumors that Tucker Carlson is even being told by Ray Epps' attorney that he must apologize to Ray Epps for what he’s said.

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly comes on the show to discuss.

He says that we’re going to see more and more “of this hoping that Fox News collapses — because they do have a major problem with the Dominion lawsuits.”

Beck asks O’Reilly how he sees it all ending, and the answer isn’t pretty.

O’Reilly says that because of his exit six years ago from Fox, he sees it as karma.

He says that “Dominion has a case” and that despite the fact that former Attorney General Bill Barr said the case is weak, he doesn’t think it’s a weak case.

He claims that “it could go either way,” but no matter what the outcome is, Fox is already in trouble.

“They may have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars, which will gut the company. They’re already laying off and they’re already cutting salaries at Fox News — already underway.”

O’Reilly believes that if the hosts had guests with opposing views rather than guests who espouse a similar ideology — like he does — this all could have been avoided.

He says, “My business model is simple. I always tell the truth based on facts as I see it. Fox does not do that now. It is a money machine now.”

Judge dismisses Michael Avenatti's $250 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News



Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti had his $250 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News dismissed after a judge ruled that the news organization had accurately reported charges against him.

Avenatti gained national prominence among critics of former President Donald Trump when he represented Stormy Daniels, an adult film star who accused Trump of paying her off to stay quiet about their extramarital affair. Some on the left were even floating Avenatti's name as a possible Democratic presidential candidate before he was convicted for an extortion scheme against Nike, Inc.

On Friday, Avenatti, 50, was dealt another courtroom defeat.

U.S. Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas said in his ruling that most of what Fox News reported about Avenatti was "substantially" true.

"And Avenatti does not plausibly plead that Fox or its employees knew that the statements were false or recklessly disregarded that possibility," he explained. "He also fails to allege any recoverable damages."

Avenatti argued that he had been arrested but not charged with domestic violence in 2018 while Fox News had reported that he had been charged. The judge said that was a "minor error."

The network released a statement about the ruling.

"We are pleased with the Court's swift decision in favor of FOX News," the network said. "Today's ruling is a victory for journalists everywhere, who should not be intimidated into silence when bullies like Michael Avenatti file baseless multimillion-dollar lawsuits."

Avenatti was sentenced in July to 30 months in prison after he was convicted of extortion. He is facing a lawsuit from former clients who accused him of embezzlement, and also another lawsuit from Daniels accusing him of stealing money from her. He has denied those claims.
