$787.5m defamation settlement
In 2023 Fox Corporation agreed to pay US$787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle litigation alleging that Fox News Network and its commentators promoted the lie that Dominion's voting machines were part of a conspiracy to steal votes from Donald Trump in the 2020 Presidential election.
Excessive CEO pay
As You Sow's 2022 report, 'The 100 Most Overpaid CEOs', reveals the 100 most overpaid CEOs from USA's 500 largest public companies (as determined by the S&P 500 list). This company's CEO, Lachlan Murdoch came in at number 24 on the list, having been paid US$29,154,460 in 2021. According to the report, "Most CEOs have come to be grossly overpaid, and that overpayment is harmful to the companies, the shareholders, the customers, the other employees, the economy, and society as a whole."
Information
CEO Pay Ratio of 237:1
In 2022 the median pay for a worker at this company was US$91,803. The CEO was paid 237 times this amount. Exorbitant CEO pay is a major contributor to rising inequality. CEOs are getting more because of their power to set pay, not because they are increasing productivity or possess specific, high-demand skills. The economy would suffer no harm if CEOs were paid less (or taxed more). In contrast, the CEO-to-typical-worker compensation ratio was 20-to-1 in 1965 and 58-to-1 in 1989.
