MARK LEVIN (HOST): This judge in the Dominion lawsuit in Delaware. I'm looking here at Mediaite, who is obsessed with this case along with Media Matters, because they're all left-wing goons and prepubescents. Nonetheless, their headlined by Ken Meyer -- we've dealt with him before -- Judge in Fox Dominion trial roasts Maria Bartiromo. She's clearly neutral, he says snarkily. The judge presiding over the upcoming trial in Dominion Voting Systems' 1.6 billion dollar suit against Fox News made several outspoken comments about the cable news giant during pre-trial hearings this week, including a snarky remark taking aim at Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo.
Delaware Superior Court judge Eric Davis sanctioned the network, which was outrageous, and announced an investigation into Fox's alleged withholding of evidence and information relevant to the case of pretrial hearings on Wednesday and Thursday. I guess this man, this judge, this superior court judge in Delaware, hasn't heard about New York [Times] v. Sullivan. Maybe he hasn't even heard about freedom of the press.
...
So here's the judge who's supposed to be impartial, who clearly is not by his own words, and I would argue by his rulings. According to Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple, who was in the courtroom for the hearing, the judge's delivery was deadpan and confused the Fox attorney. That was not the only time Judge Davis spoke out in colorful terms about Fox's coverage in the aftermath of the election, which he's described in scathing terms throughout this case.
Judge, why don't you step aside? This is the big leagues. You may not be able to handle this. It's gonna go all the way to the US Supreme Court. I haven't talked to any of the Fox lawyers or the Fox executives or this one. I'm just saying as a lawyer, this is -- you're small potatoes. This is in your courtroom. You're making a clown show of the thing. You're obviously biased and partisan the way that you're ruling.
...
I wonder if the judge is aware that NBC News raised questions about voting machines, as did many cyber experts and the connection to the internet. I didn't raise these questions, they did. I wonder if he's aware of letters that went out under the signatures of Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden. And I did all this research today for my Sunday show on Fox, so you'll wanna see it. Maybe I'm telling too much right now. Let's wait, even though I know -- I know the enemy media are hanging on my every syllable.
