This is one of multiple right wing media outlets facing lawsuits over allegations of defamation related to the 2020 election. The other is Salem media facing defamation issues over the same stuff.
 

Here is Smartmatic and their lawsuit against Fox Corp and they have subpoena board members related to the defamation case. It's part of one big investigation on how Trump Allies sparked the biggest defamation cases in 2020.

In motions filed with the Supreme Court of New York, Smartmatic requested relevant documents from four members of Fox’s board of directors: Anne Dias, Charles Carey, Roland Hernandez and Jacques Nasser. “Accountability and responsibility do not stop with Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch,” J.

Also we mentioned this with Rudy Giuliani being removed from WABC Radio New York. It's a case of politicians and media outlets resorting to defamation because their entire business model is too dependent on one specific demographic. In this case being too dependent on one demo put them in legal trouble because they didn't give accurate info related to the 2020 election.
