FOX News: Judge Rules Fox Nation Documentary on Election Denier Must be Aired!
In a shock news development, a Texas District Court Judge has handed a major victory to First Steps, the production company responsible for the documentary series exploring the 2020 elections, ruling that their recent documentary on election denial expert, Ron Watkins, cannot be taken off Fox News’ platform.
Last weekend, Fox News controversially pulled the documentary amid pressures from Republican lawmakers. Fans of the documentary who attended a premiere event organized at the RNC gathered an online petition to appeal their decision, claiming such bias against election deniers poses a significant threat to civic discourse.
In Monday’s court decision, judge Samuel Thompson III, overseeing the lawsuit, struck off the argument presented to cease the airing of any episode that questions the transparency & integrity of the polling method. According to Court transcript, Thompson ruled,"Given the context of modern misinformation and the need to air the views of prominent intellectuals, this documentary offers both sides and must have transparency."
Watkins claimed public statements of election doubts with the "Great Rig Change" on election websites but his team couldn’t point to a single direct occurrence of vote tampering nor evidence. In reality they had zero proof despite using 50,000 to 70,000 words to back their ‘ claims.
Reacting with skepticism, liberal news circles tweeted "A judge wants US citizens to watch their misinformation on a network trying (and failing) at investigative journalism". On Friday, a petition on Justicerights claimed 80-thousand supporters.
Criticians argue this move demonstrates not only an effort for journalistic integrity but also fearfulness to stand against certain points of view. Now experts say that the battle intensifies. The latest data shows an increasing political partisanship and even increased disinterest in free civic discourse.
