Staff ReportsFox News is striking back with a big win against Smartmatic in its grueling legal drama. Thanks to a savvy legal maneuver, Fox is digging into insider info that could prove devastating for the voting technology titan. The network’s lawyers were recently given access to crucial materials linked to an indictment involving a bribery scandal with Smartmatic executives. This isn’t some minor paperwork glitch. It involves over a million bucks in bribes aimed at manipulating which voting machines were used in the Philippines’ 2016 election. But don’t worry, the executives claim they’re as innocent as a lamb. Color us skeptical.

Why does this matter for Fox News? Simple. Smartmatic hasn’t been walking on sunshine long before the 2020 election coverage even became a talking point. And Fox is using this opportunity to highlight that the company was crumbling under its own weight. These indictments are key to exposing Smartmatic’s façade, which reveals that the dinosaur voting company was stumbling financially and reputationally on its own—long before Fox came into the picture. And yet, in typical liberal fashion, Smartmatic is howling about Fox’s coverage as if it were solely responsible for its woes. What a stretch!
But wait, there’s more to this big league drama of smoke and mirrors. Smartmatic, not content with just whining about Fox, is now desperately lobbing accusations about text message deletions at the Murdochs. Destroying evidence, they shriek! But in reality, it smacks of a frantic distraction tactic by those jumping at shadows—unfounded, stale allegations that Fox insists have no bearing on the case. It’s rich. Liberals always play a dirty game when they’re losing, don’t they?
And if you still need more proof that Fox is on the right side of history here, look at Smartmatic’s laughable $2.7 billion court claim against the network. Remember, this is the same Fox that settled with Dominion for $787.5 million. It feels like extortion on steroids. The left always overreaches when they smell a chance to crucify those who dare challenge their narrative.
So the question is, will the courts uphold justice and see through the smoke and mirrors from Smartmatic, or will they buckle under the pressure of the left-wing machine? Could this be the moment when truth triumphs, or will it be business as usual for the liberal elite?
