Fox News has been hit with yet another defamation lawsuit, this time by Ray Epps, a former U.S. Marine turned Arizona wedding venue operator who was in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.
The suit centers on the statements of Fox's former primetime star, Tucker Carlson, who repeatedly placed Epps, a supporter of then-President Donald Trump who says he sought to stave off any bloodshed, at the center of the violent siege on the U.S. Capitol.
Carlson's guests and his own remarks conveyed with seeming certitude that Epps helped instigate the violence unleashed that day and also that he must have been collaborating with a federal agency to do so. Yet Carlson never presented viewers with any concrete evidence of the claims.

Good story about Fox News being more conspiracy theory propagandists than actual news. NPR is a great source.

"Fox News has been hit with another defamation lawsuit. Ray Epps, a man who was in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, filed the suit this week. The suit centers on the actions of former primetime star, Tucker Carlson, who was fired by the network this spring."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel You can't really trust any news stations any longer to tell you the truth. They all slant the story to whichever political party they support. Sad but true.
