Survey responses cited in $2.7bn defamation lawsuit filed against Fox by voting technology company Smartmatic
Multiple Fox News employees expressed concerns about the network’s editorial standards and the conduct of top hosts in an internal survey conducted in the summer and fall of 2020, with one going as far as to wonder if they had sold their “soul to the devil”, according to legal filings.
The employees’ statements were excerpted in a 771-page filing released last week, made public as part of a defamation lawsuit filed against the network by voting technology company Smartmatic.
The comments come from an anonymous internal survey – the “Fox News 2020 Great Place to Work Trust Index Survey” – of 1,040 employees conducted between 24 August 2020 and 8 September 2020. Several employees expressed concerns that the network was intentionally aiding Donald Trump and the Republican party.

I’m sorry, were you confused about where you work? It’s like complaining about the workplace being “too spooky” while working at Spirit Halloween. Fucking idiots.
‘Im concerned this meat grinding facility doesnt support animals rights.’
This Tyson facility is vegan, right?
Alright, you win comment of the day for me, that was a great analogy.

That’s fucking hilarious.
Anyone working at Fox News who thinks they’re involved in reputable journalism clearly doesn’t have the objectivity needed for proper reporting.
especially creeps like jesse watters, and working for a ghoul like rupert and son.
The pure distillation of useful idiot
Didn’t they say, “we’re entertainment, not news” ?
Tucker Carlson defending himself, he claimed a playboy model tried to extort trump.
Fox’s legal team argued that his comments couldn’t reasonably be considered factual, and that any viewer should be skeptical about what he says.
That was on his show though, not the news program.
I’m sure they have plenty of employees we don’t see who aren’t journalists.
In addition to the people we DO see who also aren’t journalists.
Hey, I still firmly believe that the network was somehow connected to the election of George W. Bush. How else do you explain a Bush relative working for the network and the network being the first to call the race hours before any other outlet would call it for Bush.
So I’m far from surprised they would outright aid a President and their party.
and fox working behind the scenes with the 1/6 insurrection, at least laura ingarham was involved with mark meadows on what to and how to frame the “Riot” if antifa showed up.
I mean - helping republicans to do what they’re doing was always the goal - it’s the founding principle. Anyone who wasn’t aware must have been a child or not born at the time.
It’s never been in doubt.
I was a baby during Watergate, and I know that.
It’s bad when people who wilfully and knowingly work for Team Evil, start reporting that things are a little too fucked up for their liking.
Kind of like when everyone went “We’re all for exploiting and enslaving people, but for fuck’s sake, Columbus.”
This all reminds me of John Rabe:
“Are we the baddies?”
Oh is the network literally started to become a propaganda wing of the Republican Party pushing a political bias?
Thanks captain obvious
They were a little slow getting there, but its the spirit that counts!
I refuse to count the spirit!!!
Yeah really. That ship has sailed and sunk.
Trying to set up plausible deniability? There’s no way these social fabric ripping fuck heads don’t know exactly what they are doing.
I would call the decisions made in horror movies smart and well thought out ages before I believe this crock of absolutely intelligence insulting bullshit.
For real. Thats like working at a gun factory and after years expressing concern thats it might be harmful.
