SAN FRANCISCO, March 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hagens Berman urges Fox Corporation (NASDAQ: FOX, FOXA) investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now.

Fox Corporation (FOX, FOXA) Investigations:

The investigation focuses on Fox’s admittedly knowing false news reporting and the failure to disclose the risk to Fox’s business if its knowledge of false reporting became known, including the likelihood of potential liability of the Company by virtue of the network’s producers, stars and executives knowingly broadcasting false claims concerning the Dominion’s voting systems.

In connection with the 2020 US Presidential Election, Fox repeatedly endorsed and broadcast a series of reports about Dominion Voting Systems, claiming that Dominion committed election fraud by rigging the election. On Mar. 26, 2021, Dominion sued Fox for defamation seeking over $1.6 billion in damages. For its part, Fox has repeatedly maintained that Dominion’s claims lack merit.

However, on Feb. 17, 2023, the Wall StreetJournal reported that court filings made public on Feb. 16 revealed that top Fox News anchors and executives privately raised concerns about false claims of voter fraud made on the air by network hosts and guests in connection with the 2020 election. According to the WSJ, Fox’s Chairman (Rupert Murdoch) expressed skepticism about a Nov. 19, 2020 press conference that Fox aired (in which Rudy Giuliani claimed that voter fraud occurred in multiple states as part of a national conspiracy), calling it “’really crazy stuff.’”

Most recently, on Mar. 29, 2023, NBC News reported that 10 days after the 2020 election Fox’s so-called Brain Room looked into conspiracy theories that Dominion rigged the election against Donald Trump. According to NBC“[t]the fact checking and research division of the network came back with a clear decision: Those claims were false. But the misinformation went on the air anyway.”

These events have driven the price of Fox shares significantly lower.

“We’re focused on whether Fox knowingly published false news and the impact on its business and reputation,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
