Description

Encore: original airdate 9-9-2025. On today's 'BradCast':  Two years ago, Fox 'News' paid a more than $780 million dollars for defaming Dominion Voting Systems and lying to viewers about the 2020 election. Now, new court documents in the defamation lawsuit against Fox News by Smartmatic, a different voting company, confirm that Fox hosts and executives knew Donald Trump's claims of a 'stolen' election were false and chose to promote them anyway. MATT GERTZ of Media Matters explains what's in the slew of new, 'damning filings' against Fox News, why they broadcast election lies, what it means for elections going forward, and much more. Missouri's Republican state legislature rammed through new gerrymandered maps to steal U.S. House seats from their voters and add new restrictions to stop citizen-led ballot initiatives. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'
