Oregon’s attorney general announced Monday she is investigating Fox Corp.’s board of directors for “breach of fiduciary duty” after Fox News repeatedly broadcast election lies in the wake of the 2020 election. That resulted in a historic $787 million defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.

“Treasurer Read and I believe that Fox’s board of directors breached its fiduciary duties by allowing Fox News to broadcast false claims that Dominion and Smartmatic rigged the 2020 presidential election,” said Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum in a statement. “We hope to hold the board accountable and protect the long-term value

Vancouver urgent care clinic suspends some services over legal battle with health authorities

The day before Vancouver’s first urgent and primary care center opened in 2018, the provincial government held a news conference celebrating the facility as a step toward improving the quality of health-care in the city.

“We want people to get the care they need in their community,” Health Minister Adrian Dix said that Sunday.

Less than five years later, that relationship has soured.

The clinic is deep into a legal battle that it says has ultimately forced doctors to stop providing patients with ultrasounds, X-rays and other critical diagnostic tests, despite having the equipment to do so in-house.

“Unfortunately, when

‘A state of shock’: Woman testifies in rape trial against Boston attorney

It was “humiliating, at that moment. It’s hard to grasp what you’re feeling when it’s happening,” she said. “[I was in] a state of shock.”

The woman tested that, despite her protests, Zerola silently raped her, and did not stop until she got off the couch and went to wake her friend, who was casually seeing Zerola at the time. Still trying to process what happened, the woman said she told her friend she needed to leave for work, and “acted as normal as possible because there was nothing I could do at that moment.”

As Zerola drove her and

Prince Harry’s lawyer grills ex-reporter in phone hacking case

LONDON –

A lawyer for Prince Harry finished setting out the royal’s case against a newspaper publisher on Thursday, quizzing a former tabloid reporter about information inserted into stories by then-editor Piers Morgan.

On the final day of evidence, attorney David Sherborne grilled former Daily Mirror royal correspondent Jane Kerr, whose byline appeared on several of the 33 articles cited by Harry as examples of unlawful intrusion by publisher Mirror Group Newspapers.

The lawyer suggested to Kerr that some of the information in her stories came from phone hacking.

“It absolutely didn’t,” Kerr said with a touch of anger.

“I’ve

Groups file court application over whether Canada’s laws allow entry of former Israeli PM

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is facing a court application aimed at forcing him to determine whether Canada’s war crimes laws prevent former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett from attending a speaking engagement in Toronto later this month.

The application — known by its technical term of a mandamus — was filed Friday in Federal Court and asked a judge to compel Mendicino into making a decision on Bennett’s admissibility.

It was filed by Khaled Mouammar, a former national president of the Canadian Arab Federation, human rights groups Palestinian and Jewish Unity and Just Peace Advocates, and the think-tank Canadian

Blocking news on Facebook is a rational response to irrational legislation

Policies founded on fantasies collapse quickly.

That’s the most obvious takeaway from the news that US-based Meta is beginning to block linkage to new organizations’ content on Facebook and Instagram in Canada.

The reason is a poorly conceived and then amateurishly-crafted piece of legislation known as the Online News Act. Based on a law passed, but never used, in Australia, C-18 is designed to force Big Tech companies such as Google and Meta-owned Facebook to cough up hundreds of millions of dollars annually to “compensate” news organizations through deals made under the oversight of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

Federal judge calls Indiana attorney general’s TikTok lawsuit largely ‘political posture’

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The fate of the Indiana attorney general’s lawsuit against the social media company TikTok is uncertain after a federal judge lambasted much of the case as “political posture.”

While US District Judge Holly Brady ruled against TikTok’s request to move the case to federal court, that decision leaves the lawsuit brought by Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita in the hands of a county judge who last month ruled against Rokita on two key points. The state attorney general claims the Chinese-owned video-sharing platform misleads users about its level of inappropriate content and about the security of consumer
