Whether the Dominion lawsuit changes anything at Fox remains to be seen. After all, money talks in Murdoch's world. But thus far, the apple doesn't seem to have strayed far from the tree. Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert's son and chief executive officer of Fox Corporation, in a defense of his organization, said: "A news organization has an obligation--and it is an obligation--to report news fulsomely, wholesomely and without fear or favor, and that's what Fox News has always done, and that's what Fox News will always do."
Forget the fear or favor baloney, Lachlan clearly doesn't know the meaning of the word fulsome. Cambridge English Dictionary: "Fulsomely: In a way that expresses a lot of admiration or praise for someone, often too much, in a way that does not sound sincere."
Maybe Lachlan should forget about calling in editorial suggestions. And notice that he never said honestly and accurately.
