'We have a long way to go in bringing Fox to justice, but gradually, through the cases of Abby Grossberg, Ray Epps, Dominion, and myself, we are shedding light on dark truths that were allowed to fester behind closed doors.' By GretchenCarlson
I have some experience with this kind of situation. In 2016, I filed a retaliation and sexual harassment complaint against former Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, forcing him to settle the case rather than be tried in court.
The Dominion settlement did not require Fox to include a public apology either or an admission of wrongdoing. Fox won’t have to broadcast retractions for lying about Dominion Voting Systems and the results of the 2020 election. There is a significant difference between espousing conservative viewpoints, as an exchange of ideas that is necessary for public dialogue and telling mistruths to millions of viewers. The network has largely rewritten the rules of journalism to sow deception and mistruths in its reporting, and they have largely gotten away with it.
It is hard to say whether all this is the beginning of a new era for Fox, or just another grand gesture to protect the company’s culture while protecting it from liability. But for real changes to take hold, Fox needs a genuine recommitment to journalism. Getting rid of one conspiracy monger, or all of them, might be big news and an extraordinary step.
