The Inner Turmoil of Fox News: Abby Grossberg’s Revelations
Abby Grossberg’s Condemnation of Fox News
In an eye-opening interview with NBC News, Abby Grossberg, once a proud producer at Fox News, blasted the network as a “colossal corporate behemoth that annihilates people.” Grossberg, now embroiled in Dominion Voting Systems’ jaw-dropping $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News, believes she was wrongfully designated the scapegoat.
Grossberg’s Swift Rise Marred by a Toxic Atmosphere
Starting her Fox News journey in 2019 as a senior booking producer for Maria Bartiromo, Grossberg quickly ascended the ranks. Yet, during her four-year tenure, she purportedly endured a workplace rife with misogyny, prompting her to bring forth lawsuits accusing Fox News of harassment, retaliation, and scapegoating in the face of Dominion’s legal action.
Dominion’s Legal Battle with Fox News
Dominion Voting Systems has taken Fox News to court, alleging that the network aired fabricated election fraud allegations on numerous occasions. Fox News staunchly defends its coverage, invoking the First Amendment and labeling the content as newsworthy. The jury selection process for the impending trial is slated for April 13, while the judge’s summary judgment ruling has yet to materialize.
Network Executives’ Involvement in Booking Controversial Guests
Grossberg claims that high-ranking Fox News executives were well-aware she booked guests such as Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, notorious for promulgating conspiracy theories about Dominion’s voting machines. Intriguingly, after the election, network executives seemingly vanished, leaving no trace of guidance or direction for booking future guests.
A Glimpse into the Network’s Hushed Struggles
According to Grossberg, Fox executives grappled with the fear of viewers flocking to even more right-leaning outlets. Her allegations describe Bartiromo’s show as woefully understaffed, and despite her pleas for promotions and reinforcements, higher-ups remained deaf to her requests. Grossberg’s lawsuit also contends that these very executives made demeaning remarks about Bartiromo herself.
Fox Lawyers’ Alleged Attempt to Control Grossberg’s Testimony
In the lead-up to her deposition, Grossberg alleges that Fox lawyers sought to manipulate her testimony, instructing her not to divulge information regarding the network’s top brass. They allegedly urged her to avoid becoming the case’s star witness. Conversely, a Fox News spokesperson lambasted Grossberg’s legal claims as “unmeritorious,” chock-full of falsehoods aimed at tarnishing the network and its personnel.
