More layoffs could still be on the way at Fox News as the network tries to cut costs following its settlement with Dominion, insiders tell Rolling Stone.
’ $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems continued on Friday, with the network dissolving its investigative unit.
“The rank and file journalists are getting let go meanwhile upper management are sitting pretty while they are the execs responsible for the Dominion debacle,” one Fox employee tells“Yes, [layoffs] have happened,” another staffer confirms. “And continue to happen.” Dominion filed a defamation suit against Fox in 2021 for spreading lies about the 2020 presidential election results. The misinformation at the heart of the lawsuit was pushed largely through the network’s opinion hosts, which operate independently from its news division and aren’t held to typical journalistic standards.
“The outrage is that Suzanne Scott and Maria Bartriomo keep their jobs,” the employee says, referring to the network CEO and one of its opinion hosts named in the lawsuit, respectively. “Meanwhile the journalists get let go. We are in shock.” “I think producers, management, et cetera [are being laid-off],” adds a former Fox talent. “They are trying to get money off the books before June 30. They have to save money because of the [Dominion] lawsuit.”
