Because, you know, it was a complete surprise to the shairholders.
Fox shareholder sues Rupert Murdoch, other directors over 2020 election coverage
A Fox Corp shareholder sued Chairman Rupert Murdoch and four other board members on Tuesday, saying they failed to stop Fox News from reporting falsehoods about the 2020 U.S. presidential election that damaged its credibility and prompted lawsuits.
Shareholder Robert Schwarz alleged in the lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court that the directors breached their duties to ensure that Fox followed its own ethical standards and avoided reputational risk, and instead sought to keep supporters of former U.S. President Donald Trump tuned in.
"FOX knew – from the Board on down – that Fox News was reporting false and dangerous misinformation about the 2020 Presidential election, but FOX was more concerned about short-term ratings and market share than the long-term damages of its failure to tell the truth," he said in the lawsuit, which did not say how many shares he owned.
A Fox representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The lawsuit seeks damages for the company from Rupert Murdoch, his son and Fox Chief Executive Lachlan Murdoch, and fellow directors Chase Carey, Roland Hernandez and Jacques Nasser. It also seeks unspecified corporate governance reforms.
Schwarz said the board's failure to act on "red flags" subjected the network to defamation claims by two voting technology companies that Fox reported were involved in a conspiracy to steal the U.S. presidential election from Trump.
Together, the two lawsuits by Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic USA seek damages totaling $4 billion.
The trial in the Dominion case is scheduled to begin in Delaware Supreme Court with opening statements on Monday and is expected to last five weeks.
Dominion alleges that Fox destroyed its business by knowingly airing false claims that its ballot counting machines were used to flip the results of the 2020 election. Fox has argued that election-rigging claims by Trump and his lawyers were inherently newsworthy and protected by legal doctrines concerning press freedom.
In March, a trove of exhibits in the lawsuit became public, including emails and statements in which Rupert Murdoch and other top Fox executives said the claims made about Dominion on-air were false.
The shareholder lawsuit cited filings in the Dominion lawsuit, which said Murdoch had acknowledged under questioning from Dominion lawyers that some Fox hosts had "endorsed" the idea that the election was stolen. Murdoch said in the deposition he believed Biden won fairly.

You can smell change in the air long before it arrives, and I smell cultural and political change in America and the time until the election should see it grow. The republicans can't change and can't help themselves the base is nuts and the con artists must follow, by the election they should be in chaos, but removing Trump from the scene could see them try and put lipstick on the pig and memory hole Trump, then bounce back in the polls with Meatball Ron running against Joe, the party rehabilitated after the monster was caged. On the other hand, they could descend into factionalism and an internal blood bath if a battle for king of the fool's results.
Then there is Donald pacing his cell like a bull moose running from his cage with MTG as his VP stumping for him and Kevin visiting weekly bearing cold cheeseburgers. Meatball Ron is the biggest threat the way I see it. America is just stupid enough to kick out a successful, able and wise president for a piece of shit like Ron while giving control of congress to the democrats, then whine about gridlock and nothing getting done except libraries closing and burning books outside the library of congress, that the GOP will want to defund.

It's the spring smell of rotting shit, before things dry out and the sunshine's. You are witnessing the trashing about of the mad elephant in the terminal stages of poisoning, it is gonna be loud and messy as the beast goes down fighting. The next year and a half do not look good for republicans in general and several in particular. The base will nominate even more lunatics this season as the shit of America is distilled down to its essence inside the Bedlam that is the republican party.

Whatever happens, they're going to lose in 24...They've already been caught out in so much shit that there is no way they can overcome it...It would take Joe being exposed as a moleman, and Harris being caught whipping turkeywattle mcconnell in a nuns habit (you choose who's wearing it) to lose at this point...And even that might not be enough, i'd rather have a moleman for president than a republican, especially desantis.
The only thing that will change the republican's image is expelling the cancer from it's body...losing their gerrymandered majorities, running REAL, normal candidates, and quitting with the goddamned grievance bullshit.
They can take the hit now, and work their way back in a decade of so of good behavior, or they can double down, and have all of that forced down their throats anyway, and never come back from it.

Libraries today are learning centers with programs for preschool and school age kids and provide supplemental learning for kids, seminars and special events like readings from things called books that them thar smart people can read, dangerous things full of dangerous ideas!
When much learning is done with online resources these days these kinds of things are pointless political exercises in stupidity and culture wars. If they knew the kinds of porn and perversions most kids have easy access to through google free on their smartphones, their hair would catch on fire! How come nobody is going after porn with community standards hammering big tech? I mean sin is everywhere and smut is there for the asking by voice recognition. Where is the outrage and activism, while the Christians were worrying about the unborn children, the Devil was taking their own through a cellphone! While they gave their souls to Trump for free and set him on a pedestal as someone who should be emulated.
