Dominion’s Fox News Case Was Just the Beginning
Host Brian Stelter speaks with Stephen Shackelford and Davida Brook, two of the lead attorneys in Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit against Fox. "We have so much work ahead of us," Shackelford says, because even though Fox paid $787.5 million earlier this year to settle the case, Dominion is still suing many other defendants, including Newsmax and Rudy Giuliani. Those cases are "all proceeding towards trial," Brook says. Shackelford says Dominion was "put through hell" by Donald Trump's election lies in 2020 – "hell that continues to this day." Brooks says the ongoing litigation is about "setting the record straight."

Exclusive: Mitt Romney Says Trump Is "Such a Whack Job"
The GOP's least favorite party pooper had some choice words after Donald Trump complained about McKay Coppins' new book.

Customer Reviews
Podcast about Rudy Giuliani
Brian, very informative podcast. I would suggest you might want to learn more about people with substance abuse problems such as alcohol. Substance abuse changes the brain. It is one of the reasons why people with substance abuse have a difficult time with cognitive abilities and self-awareness. Rudy unfortunately appears to have problems in that area and if you do some investigative work, you’ll find out many people that are in the limelight, including politicians have substance-abuse problems.
Five stars for Joe Hagan’s RFK reporting
Also, Brian’s stint on CNN hosting ‘Reliable Sources’ was often plagued by the exact faults that Micael Wolff called him out for on that show in 2021. Brian is showing improvement in tone on ‘Inside the Hive’. Less patronizing toward guests who may not genuflect toward his opinions.
Smart and snappy podcast
I very much enjoyed Brian’s analysis on CNN, so was tickled when he appeared on this podcast. He offers the same no-nonsense analysis here. What I like best is these are 30 minutes - not an hour fueled with fluff. He gets right to the point, he has interesting guests, and addresses intriguing topics. A must-listen is his latest with the two Harvard professors who talk about their book “Tyranny of the Minority.” Loved it and listened to it twice.
