According to an attorney for Mauricio Garcia, 36, Fox News did not “ignore basic journalistic precautions” when covering the May 6, 2023,“I acknowledge the lawsuit should never have been filed against Fox News , and we are compensating Fox News for its trouble in defending against this claim,” Garcia’s attorney Mark Bankston said in a statement. “In turn, Fox News is pursuing sanctions.
A spokesperson for Fox News declined to comment, instead referring to the company’s May motion-to-dismiss filing that maintains that Garcia’s image was never published on its platform. “The defamation claim against FNN in this case is made up and should never have been brought,” Fox News said in its motion to dismiss. “Plaintiff has sued Defendant FNN over an alleged ‘publication’ of his image by FNN that did not happen and does not exist.”However, Garcia is still suing Spanish-language network Univision, right-wing cable channel Newsmax and far-right podcaster Steven Crowder, as well as Owen Shroyer, a host on the conspiracy platform Infowars.
Garcia’s lawsuit contains a letter his mother sent to a Univision journalist after she said the Spanish-language channel posted her son’s photo on the network instead of the shooter’s. “They have made a very serious mistake, they have destroyed my life and that of my family, Mauricio’s grandfather, my son was scared to death!!!” she wrote, adding that she had “received death threats and hatred” as a result.By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
