Just minutes before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was set to get underway in April 2023, New York Post Editor-in-Chief Keith Poole and star columnist Miranda Devine were on a mission to find an extra seat. Inside the Washington Hilton hotel, the pair had a very special guest that they needed to accommodate and their table was oversubscribed. After some musical chairs among staffers, Vivek Ramaswamy spent much of the evening talking with Poole, a Brit feted as a “boy wonder” in Murdoch circles.
Poole, who like all Murdoch editors has a direct line to “the boss,” had already created waves in his handling of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential announcement. “Been There, Don That” was the headline that was tucked away on page 26 of the Nov. 22, 2022 edition of the Post. But it was the teaser at the bottom of the front page that went viral. “Florida man makes announcement.”
Soon, Poole would be in a pickle.

Fox Corp. may have settled the defamation suit brought by Dominion Voting Systems, but it still faces sprawling litigation related to its claims of election fraud.
Even after paying $787.5 million to end the case, Fox has to deal with a second defamation suit brought by another election technology company, Smartmatic, which seeks $2.7 billion.
Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro, Rudy Guiliani and Sidney Powell are all named as defendants in the suit filed in February 2021 in New York State Supreme Court. Smartmatic argues that it only provided election technology and software in Los Angeles County but that the network and its commentators portrayed it as a “Venezuelan company under the control of corrupt dictators from socialist countries,” says the complaint. In their story, Smartmatic’s tech was used to switch and alter votes in many of the states with close outcomes in the 2020 election that Donald Trump lost. The company...

A former top editor of the New York Post has filed a lawsuit against the New York Post, alleging that she endured years of sexual harassment by former longtime editor Col Allan, but was demoted and dismissed following her complaints about it.

In her lawsuit, filed in federal court on Tuesday, Gotthelf alleges that she was subject to Allan’s harassment starting in 2013. Two years later, her lawsuit claims, he propositioned her for sex and told her,...
