Full title: Venezuelan man files $250 million lawsuit against Fox News and Sidney Powell after baseless accusations that he rigged 2020 election results


A Venezuelan businessman filed a defamation lawsuit this month against Fox News, its former host Lou Dobbs, and Sidney Powell, alleging they falsely implicated him in an election-rigging scheme and demanding $250 million in damages.

The businessman, Majed Khalil, says Dobbs and Powell wrongly wrapped him up in their conspiracy theory that Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems — two rival election-technology companies — worked to rig the 2020 presidential election against then-President Donald Trump and in favor of now-President Joe Biden.

Dobbs and Powell, in media appearances and social-media posts, both pushed elements of the false theory that alleged Khalil was once the "COO" of an operation to rig votes for the now-dead Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and that he was involved in a plot to rig the 2020 US presidential election as well.

10. Fix News is "entertainment" so they don't have to tell the truth

However, they still can't slander someone, even if what they say is too ridiculous to believe. One would think their legal team would warn them.

11. The Fox is entertainment myth, again.

No such thing has been argued or held by any court. Despite it being repeated here every so often.

But you are right that they can be sued for defamation ... although defamation cases are hard to win.
