Two weeks after speaking out against his network’s decision to forbid him from discussing the $1.6 billion defamation suit filed by Dominion voting systems, Fox News Host Howard Kurtz addressed the civil case on his show Sunday. Kurtz, who later posted the segment on Twitter, noted the network has a “vigorous 1st Amendment defense” in the case. Dominion is seeking damages from Fox which are roughly 30 times its 2018 valuation. Overall, Kurtz defended Fox covering President Donald Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen from him. “There was, to be sure, straight reporting by the news division which also caused some friction,” Kurtz said.
