California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit Friday against Fox News, asking the network to pay $787.5 million in damages over its coverage of his phone call with President Donald Trump during the Los Angeles protests earlier this month.

“If Fox News wants to lie to the American people on Donald Trump’s behalf, it should face consequences, just like it did in the Dominion case,” Newsom told Politico Friday. “Until Fox is willing to be truthful, I will keep fighting against their propaganda machine.”

In the suit, Newsom alleged that Fox News host Jesse Watters lied about a phone call between Newsome and Trump, a call Newsom denies took place, though Trump claimed it did. The alleged call was made amid increased tension between the White House and Newsom over the growing protests, largely motivated by the Trump administration’s deportation policy, which ultimately culminated with Trump ordering National Guard troops to quash the protests....

According to MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, Vice President Kamala Harris did serious damage to the already shaky reputation of Fox News when she busted Fox personality Bret Baier for running a deceptive clip of Donald Trump.

In a highly scrutinized segment, Trump's "enemy within" attack on his critics came up, and the Fox interviewer shared a clip of the former president blowing it off and turning himself into a victim of persecution that led Harris to rebuke him with "That's not what you just showed."

She then added, "Here’s the bottom line, he has repeated it many times, and you and I both know that. And you and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military against the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest.”

Using that exchange as a jumping-off point, Brzezinski pointed out, "In the Fox News town hall with hand-picked women, an extremely, extremely generously supportive audience and host, he actually said much more and named Nancy Pelosi."

"He doubled down on the comments," she elaborated. "Yet Fox News shows a clip that is completely unrelated to the very point that was being made about the danger of this former president threatening his political adversaries."

"I think Kamala Harris did something that actually no one has been able to do," she added, "which is call them out in real-time. I urge people to look at that clip and to pass it around because that was the mask coming down."

Former President Donald Trump has been largely silent on social media on Sunday, but some onlookers think that may change after he sees the latest Fox News poll graphic on his numbers versus Kamala Harris.

Fox News featured a graphic of a swing state poll that showed Harris' favorability ratings ahead of Trump's in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Michigan.
