This is remarkable to watch. After a legal threat from Smartmatic, @LouDobbs tonight ran a stunning point-by-point fact check debunking claims made about the company by himself and guests he's invited on his program. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/lou-dobbs-airs-stunning-fact-check-of-his-own-election-conspiracies-after-company-threatens-legal-action/

I spoke to @eddieperezTX, the election expert featured in Fox's fact-checking package. He said the interview process was unusual & that he was never informed where the piece would air. He was surprised to see final product & how it aired on @LouDobbs show. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/19/business/fox-smartmatic-news-package/index.html

Perez acknowledged Fox talent has made allegations that are "harmful" to election confidence. So he said he was thankful to talk to Fox: "I felt it was important ... if anything potentially more important to be speaking the facts to their audience..." https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/19/business/fox-smartmatic-news-package/index.html

New: When asked about the fact-checking package Fox is running this weekend, Smartmatic attorney Erik Connolly tells me, “We cannot comment due to potential litigation.” https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/19/business/fox-smartmatic-news-package/index.html
