Poll: Even Republicans Want Fox Held Accountable For 2020 Election Lies

Overall, 65 percent of respondents said Fox should be held to account (just 26 percent said they shouldn't), including 93 percent of Democrats and 67 percent of independents.

Even among white voters without a college degree, a big Fox demographic, twice as many say Fox should pay a price as say they shouldn't, 61 percent -- 30 percent.

A second question found that if people thought a news source they relied on was intentionally not reporting the truth, nearly 90 percent of people across partisanship and demographics said they would not continue watching or reading that outlet.

These findings would be terrible news for Fox if a significant portion of their viewers stood any chance of finding out about the way they carpet-bombed the airwaves with lies following the 2020 election. But more than likely, few of them ever will.

That's probably exactly why Fox has mostly forbidden its hosts and reporters from covering the lawsuit. Fox media critic Howard Kurtz finally did mention the lawsuit several days ago, framing it as a major test of free speech.

In response, a Dominion spokesperson wrote, "Dominion is a strong believer in the First Amendment and its protections. As long-settled law makes clear, the First Amendment does not shield broadcasters that knowingly or recklessly spread lies."
