"First broadcast on Fox Business on Friday, on Lou Dobbs Tonight, and repeated over the weekend on shows hosted by Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro, the segment was presented as a news interview with election technology expert Eddie Perez....The Fox News interview with Perez was described by a network source as “a fact-checking segment aired in the same format” as original reporting about Smartmatic."

Former Biden Chief of Staff is Fox News’ Top Lobbyist
A former key Biden official began lobbying for the rightwing news channel in July, a recent filing shows. by Alex Kotch September 20, 2019
....But Fox also hired another political figure:
Danny O’Brien, a former top aide to Democratic former vice president and current presidential candidate Joe Biden. From March 2003 to August 2006, O’Brien was then-Sen. Biden’s chief of staff.....
In October 2018, Fox Corporation named O’Brien as its executive vice president and head of government relations, the company’s chief lobbying position. Over the past few years, Fox News and the Trump White House have enjoyed a well-oiled revolving door, but O’Brien’s hire doesn’t fit that pattern.
According to a lobbying report posted in late July, O’Brien began officially lobbying for Fox News in the second quarter of 2019, his first registered federal lobbying activities, according to Senate records. Along with two others, O’Brien lobbied Congress on various issues including online privacy and data collection, sports betting, advertising, the First Amendment, and “media ownership.”

Fox 's executive ranks have been compromised by a high level former DNC operative (O'Brien) with deep ties to Biden. Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham all signed contracts allowing them final cut/final edit/creative control/determination of content of their shows. Their popularity/fan base rates that, esp Carlson, which is why their segments remain leaning to the right/conservative. Dobbs, Bartiromo and Pirro don't have those kind of contracts. They have to bend the knee for the wishes of the DNC/Obama/Biden loyalists because Danny O'Brien says so. It's also why Fox has cut away from Trump and Press Secretary McEnany during press conferences.
It's not fact checking, it's not that Powell's claim are totally baseless, it's that
Fox, except for those under contract otherwise, has been compromised by the DNC. You can add it to the list of MSM along with CNN, MSNBC, etc, etc that lean hard left.
Smartmatic and Dominion can attempt to leverage Fox via pressuring it's advertisers, Sydney Powell is under no such leverage.
Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren openly criticized the safety of DVS during the Georgia primaries. T
he DNC wants distance from DVS controversy because a changeover in a recent system in up to 30 states that cost about 100 million dollars each will destroy the Democratic leadership in big cities around the US and force brutal losses in down the ticket races, esp in state legislatures. You have small businesses burned and looted while state and city employees are being furloughed and laid off and then you want to lay in a new voting system at massive cost when half the country believes it has to replace the new one that the DNC forced onto everyone?
