Murdoch attended the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference.
In its lawsuit, which a Delaware state court allowed to move forward in December 2021, the company alleges that Fox News and its anchors pushed false claims that linked its voting machines to election fraud in order to boost ratings.
According to the lawsuit, the network made, endorsed and accepted false claims about the machines.
Powell told Maria Bartiromo that there was a massive and coordinated effort to steal this election and that the company ran an algorithm that shaved off votes from Trump and gave them to Biden.

According to the lawsuit, Dobbs said on air on January 4, 2021, that "we have had a devil of a time finding actual proof." The Fox Business host, whose show was canceled a month later, said that the President was looking at the possibility of having the election stolen from him.
According to court documents, the voting machine company is asking Fox News to pay over $1 billion in damages for defamation, and the lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in April of 2023. A defamation lawsuit from Smartmatic was allowed to proceed in March. A separate case against the Fox Corporation is pending after a court rejected Fox's motion to dismiss the case.

Murdoch was swayed by his personal relationship with Trump and the effect of pushing false election claims on Fox News' ratings to perpetuate these base according to a lawsuit. Murdoch was said to have stepped in to call the shots at the network amid a ratings decline, according to the lawsuit.
The company has brought nine defamation lawsuits against companies and figures in the wake of the 2020 election. Murdoch is the most important figure to be deposed so far in the case, though a number of the network's highest-ranking people have been asked to testify. James Murdoch, Shepard Smith, Lachlan Murdoch, and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott are just some of the people who have been deposed.
