Renato Mariotti said on Sunday that Dominion's case seems to be "very well put together" in which "actual malice" is achievable.

the story from one media outlet (vanity fair i think) is that the ethical son, james, is waiting in the wings for rupe and lachie to be so damaged he’ll have the runway and part of it will be to make major changes at the lie propaganda factory that is fox news. fingers crossed.

Lachlan Murdoch ‘morally and ethically' culpable for January 6 Capitol riot, Crikey argues

Murdoch was still confident the court would ultimately find in his favour...

Oh, guess he must have just gotten bored with the process then.

He dropped the case because it was inevitable that he'd lose. If finding in his favour was a possibility he'd have fought tooth and nail to the end.

Not a great week in the courts for Fox, looking forward to many more like this.

Dear Lachlan,

As you know, nearly two months ago Crikey published a piece of commentary about the sorry state of US politics, and the January 6 insurrection, that mentioned the Murdoch family name twice.
See how power works in this country.

You responded through your lawyer with a series of letters in which you accused us of defaming you personally in that story.

Crikey is an independent Australian news website, launched in 2000, covering politics, media and public issues. We at Crikey strongly support freedom of opinion and public interest journalism. We are concerned that Australia’s defamation laws are too restrictive.

Today in Crikey, we are publishing all the legal demands and accusations from your lawyer, and the replies from our lawyers, in full, so people can judge your allegations for themselves.

We want to defend those allegations in court. You have made it clear in your lawyer’s letters you intend to take court action to resolve this alleged defamation.

We await your writ so that we can test this important issue of freedom of public interest journalism in a courtroom.

Yours sincerely,

Eric Beecher
Chairman, Private Media


An open letter to Lachlan Murdoch, co-chairman of News Corporation and executive chairman of Fox Corporation

Just a reminder from the OP of how this all started. Lachlan Murdoch ultimately put his tail between his legs and ran away from this fight. This is absolutely humiliating for him.

fail son has instructed his lawyers to contest any judgement on costs .... sticking point is the crowd sourced funding crikey got through gofundme

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

One could only wish the Federal Labor government weren't such cowards.

They've had how many Danslides now to know that these wretches are a spent force?

Crikey coming out of this unscathed should demonstrate the son is absolutely no match for the old reptile and that the old reptile himself is a spent force.

So he wants the money from supporters. who donated to reduce his legal costs?

Um, no

 

[kalex6251]

^^^

having withdrawn the lawsuit fail son is liable to cover any and all costs incurred by crikey in preparing for the case

fail sons argument here - as best i understand - is the court should factor in the gofundme $ when making its determination ..... he doesnt want crikey to double dip as it were

That would be so funny. Crikey win by TKO and make a profit.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

The old man told dumb son to drop the case because he's in the s**t with Dominion and Smartmatic

Good times
