Media coverage of the 2024 presidential election cycle has wrapped up, but claims tied to Fox News coverage of the election four years prior are still open, with the Court of Chancery denying a motion to dismiss filed by the network’s parent corporation.
The case consolidates a handful of complaints making similar claims against Fox Corp., the first of which was filed in April 2023, just after Fox agreed to settle a defamation case in another Delaware court for $787.5 million. The lead plaintiffs in the consolidated case are a group of New York City pension funds represented by Friedlander & Gorris, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll and Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, along with Oregon, represented by the state’s Department of Justice.
