Fox Corp Senior Vice President Raj Shah proposed a “digital blitz targeting far-right folks” to promote Fox News primetime

Fox Corp Senior Vice President Raj Shah proposed a “digital blitz targeting far-right folks” to promote Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity right after the 2020 election, according to new evidence released in the Dominion Voting System’s lawsuit against Fox News. In a response on November 9, Senior Executive Vice President Irena Briganti agreed, adding, “Ok - and I will talk to Jason Klarman in Marketing re: digital advertising, that’s his area.”

Soon after, Shah followed up and added, “Tucker’s team telling me his monologues should be base/viewer pleasing.” He went on to note that one of Tucker’s tweets leading up to that night’s show “is getting destroyed from replies from conservative critics.”
