Tuesday brought another "document dump" in the highly watched Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News defamation case. The lawsuit is set to go to trial in April. But before a jury is even seated, the parties are racing toward a March 21 summary judgment hearing that could decide the case in Dominion's favor without a trial.
In preparation for that hearing, a judge has unsealed hundreds of exhibits, composed of thousands of pages of texts, emails, documents and correspondence, almost all of which seem (at least to me) to support Dominion's claims that from the top of the corporation to the bottom, Fox News knew that Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election and that there was no credible evidence of election fraud.
Fox News lawyers predictably disagreed. Nevertheless, as these exhibits continue to roll out, we see consistent signs of a kind of civil war brewing within the media corporation. This is a preview of Katie S. Phang's latest article. Read the full column here. |

Even if the worst of the pandemic is over, some of the changes it foisted on our lives seem like they're here to stay. In cities around the nation, office space in dense downtown areas is well below full utilization, as workers spend more days working from home. Same goes for public transit weekday ridership. What happens to American cities if they're no longer the place to which people commute each weekday. Our guest this week points out that there's a great deal that city leaders can learn from each other about reimagining cities during this latter phase of the pandemic.
Brad Lander is the comptroller for New York City and serves as the city's budget watchdog and chief accountability officer. He's also an urban planner and community organizer.
