Alleging that its larger, more established rival “has long engaged in an exclusionary scheme to increase and maintain its dominance in the market for US right-leaning pay TV news, resulting in suppression of competition in that market that harms consumers, competition,” medium-sized right wing propaganda network Newsmax on Wednesday filed a federal civil complaint against Fox News.
The damages sought aren’t specified other than that the prayer for relief seeks a “judgment be entered for Plaintiff against Fox for three times the amount of damages sustained by Plaintiff as allowed by law, together with the costs of this action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to Sections 4 and 16 of the Clayton Act, 15 USC §§ 15 and 26, and the Florida Antitrust Act.”
