"Fox's coverage of Jankowicz was neither news nor political commentary; it was cheap, easy entertainment untethered from the facts, designed to make consumers believe that Jankowicz could and would suppress their speech," the suit says. "Fox chose to lie about Jankowicz deliberately. Its statements were false and calculated to cause harm, and they did."
The network has filed papers to have the Jankowicz case moved from Delaware superior court to the Delaware federal court. A Fox spokesperson, when asked for comment, referred ABC News to their legal filing.SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images
