About the book: The definitive story of Dominion v. Fox, the battle over election lies that changed the future of democracy.
Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network is the watershed media case of the century. After an onslaught of attacks by several Fox News hosts and guests insisting that Dominion’s voting machines were rigged to steal the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump, the previously little-known voting technology company decided to fight back. Over the next two years, their libel litigation laid bare the inner workings of the seemingly unassailable Fox Corporation and the thoughts of the media conglomerate’s most high-profile stars, guests, and executives.
On the morning the trial was set to begin, the parties reached an unprecedented settlement of $787.5 million. The media lamented that secrets from Fox’s top talent and owners would never come to light, but now the full, shocking truth has finally been revealed. "Terrible Stuff Damaging Everybody" exposes the true story of the election lies that shook Fox News and the nation. Media lawyer and author Ian Rosenberg transforms thousands of pages of legal documents into a compelling behind-the-scenes narrative. He presents the saga as a riveting three act drama that answers the vital questions: why Fox News broadcasted flagrantly false claims about election fraud; what the legal action uncovered about Fox’s power structure and the actual malice standard; and how the aftermath will fundamentally impact the future of libel law, the media, and our democracy.
"Terrible Stuff Damaging Everybody" provides a clear-eyed, expert analysis of this history-making lawsuit, and what it means for our country today.
