A former Fox News reporter says in a lawsuit he
was targeted and fired for pushing back against
false claims about the riot at the U.S. Capitol
on Jan. 6, 2021.
In the suit moved to federal court Monday,
producer Jason Donner said he was part of a
“purge” of employees who refused to only
report information that would “appease” former
President Donald Trump and his supporters.
Donner was inside the Capitol when the mob of
Trump supporters breached the building. When
he heard Fox News reporting that rioters were
“peaceful” and “severely disappointed,” he
called the control room, using expletives as
he said, “you’re gonna get us all killed,”
the suit states.
Donner also debunked Tucker Carlson’s
“Patriot Purge,” a program on the Fox Nation
streaming service that argued Jan. 6 was used
as a pretext for persecution of conservative
Americans.
Fox managers, though, were focused on wooing
viewers who supported Trump...
