A New York appeals court ruled Thursday that Fox Corporation must face Smartmatic’s mammoth defamation lawsuit over the airing of 2020 election lies on Fox News, dealing a blow to the Rupert Murdoch-controlled media giant.

Barring a late settlement, Harry’s lawsuit against News Group Newspapers will begin Monday, with potential consequences for the royal family, the media baron and even The Washington Post.

Media mogul Murdoch's company will maintain a stake in 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' until 2029 though as the British broadcaster wants to grow his YouTube channel.
