Fox News runs segment debunking voting machine claims after legal threats from Smartmatic

After Fox News was threatened with legal action by election software company Smartmatic, it repeatedly ran a "fact-check" segment over the weekend that debunked many of the claims regarding Smartmatic that had been made by its on-air hosts, in an apparent retraction of those claims. Smartmatic sent a number of right-leaning media outlets — including Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN — a demand letter last Monday accusing them of defaming the company with numerous false statements and threatening legal action if some claims that were made on air were not retracted.
