Ten days after the 2020 election, Fox News’ so-called Brain Room looked into conspiracy theories that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the presidential election against Donald Trump.
The fact-checking and research division of the network came back with a clear decision: Those claims were false. But the misinformation went on the air anyway.
Details of the Brain Room’s fact-check were revealed Wednesday in newly released slides from a presentation by Dominion, which the company showed at last week’s pre-trial hearing in its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News and its parent company, Fox Corp. The slides cite internal communications and testimony.
Fox News had redacted the “Brain Room” findings, but the judge ordered on Tuesday that they should be made public.
