Columnist Says Company Won’t Let Him Cover Dominion Voting Case

Fox News media columnist Howard Kurtz revealed Sunday that the network is not allowing him to cover a defamation lawsuit against Fox filed by Dominion Voting Systems.

The country’s most-watched cable news network is facing considerable jeopardy from the suit, with Dominion asking for $1.6 billion in damages. Fox is accused of knowingly broadcasting false information about Dominion machines in order to promote claims that the 2020 election was stolen from former president Trump.

Kurtz is well-known for his media coverage, having worked for The Washington Post and CNN before joining Fox in 2013. He publicly protested the network’s decision to keep him from discussing the case.

“Some of you have been asking why I’m not covering the Dominion voting machines case against Fox involving the unproven claims of election fraud in 2020,” said Kurtz. “It’s absolutely a fair question. I believe I should be covering it, it’s a major media story, given my role here at Fox.”
