Fox News Host Says Network Won’t Let Him Cover Dominion Lawsuit

Fox News Channel host Howard Kurtz told viewers his network has forbidden him to discuss the defamation lawsuit filed against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems—a story which has produced an avalanche of damaging stories about the network. “I believe I should be covering it,” he said Sunday. “It’s a major media story.”

Kurtz hosts Media Buzz, a panel discussion program that focuses on media, and which on Sunday covered the media’s reporting on President Biden’s trip to Ukraine, and how the cable news networks reported on Donald Trump. Kurtz said viewers would be right to ask why the Dominion story didn’t make the cut. “The company has decided that as part of the organization being sued, I can’t talk about it or write about it—at least for now,” adding “I strongly disagree with that decision. But as an employee, I have to abide by it.”
