The lesson Fox took away from the Dominion lawsuit appears to be this: you can still lie your head off just don’t lie about a company or person who can sue you.

Maria Bartiromo repeatedly used her Fox Business show to peddle an election fraud conspiracy theory that she claimed originated with the wife of a friend of a friend in Texas.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says her story is "kind of racist" and "simply false."
The local GOP calls it "erroneous." https://mediamatters.org/fox-business/maria-bartiromos-wild-and-kind-racist-election-conspiracy-theory-collapses-immediately
Maria Bartiromo's wild and “kind of racist” election conspiracy theory collapses immediately
Bartiromo, who was deeply involved in promoting the Dominion election conspiracy theories that Fox News paid for, is at it again
Maria Bartiromo repeatedly used her Fox Business show to peddle an election fraud conspiracy theory that she claimed originated with the wife of a friend of a friend in Texas and that she made no apparent effort to confirm. But when the Texas Department of Public Safety and the local Republican Party investigated her reckless allegation, they discovered that none of it was true.
On Sunday morning, Bartiromo posted an item to X alleging that “a massive line of immigrants” had been obtaining driver’s licenses and registering to vote at three Department of Motor Vehicles offices in Texas:
From a friend ...
Friend of mine’s wife had to take her 16 yr old son to the DMV this week for a new license. Couldn’t get an online appointment(all full) so went in person and had to go to 3 DMV’s to get something done. First DMV was in Weatherford. Had a massive line of immigrants getting licenses and had a tent and table outside the front door of the DMV registering them to vote! Second one was in Fort Worth with same lines and same Dems out front. Third one was in North Fort Worth had no lines but had same voter registration drive.
Bartiromo brought the wildly flimsy allegation to Fox’s airwaves the following day, having apparently done no independent reporting to confirm claims that she said originated with the wife of a friend of her friend.
