SCOOP: I got a copy of the letter voting technology company Smartmatic sent to Fox News, demanding retractions for election conspiracy theories. It accuses Fox of "a concerted disinformation campaign" that's led to death threats against its employees. businessinsider.com/smartmatic-vot…
The Smartmatic letter names Fox News hosts Lou Dobbs, Jesse Watters, and Maria Bartiromo as individuals who spread the conspiracy theories. A spokesperson told me that suing them individually is an option on the table. businessinsider.com/smartmatic-vot…
"This retraction must be done with the same intensity and level of coverage that you used to defame the company in the first place." businessinsider.com/smartmatic-vot…
One of the weirdest parts of the whole election conspiracy theory is that Smartmatic and Dominion are secretly linked. They're competitors! businessinsider.com/smartmatic-vot…
