Listen now
Description
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has admitted under oath that several Fox News hosts endorsed false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and he did nothing to stop it.

Laura Murphy-Oates talks to Guardian Australia’s media correspondent Amanda Meade and defamation law expert Dr Michael Douglas about the two lawsuits, what they could mean for the future of Fox news and press freedom in Australia
