Fox will lose this one big time (but will probably be fined some relatively insignificant amount)
Fox News hit with another defamation lawsuit — this one over Jan. 6 allegations
"In the aftermath of the events of January 6th, Fox News searched for a scapegoat to blame other than Donald Trump or the Republican Party," the lawsuit begins. "Eventually, they turned on one of their own, telling a fantastical story in which Ray Epps — who was a Trump supporter that participated in the protests on January 6th – was an undercover FBI agent and was responsible for the mob that violently broke into the Capitol and interfered with the peaceful transition of power for the first time in this country's history."
"Fox News and in particular Tucker Carlson spent a good part of two years lying about Mr. Epps's involvement in January 6th, creating a fictitous story and narrative about him that is wholly untrue," Teter tells NPR. "And because of that he has faced harassment and threats from Fox viewers and others that have ruined his life."

I would think, and hope, that Tucker has some personal exposure on this one.

The airwaves belong to the citizens of the US, but the steward of the airwaves--namely, the FCC--is charged with determining what companies get to broadcast on them. To my knowledge, there's no prohibition against non-US broadcasters.

Speaking of personal exposure
In the FedEpps still, mr. Carlson looks like he sharted, just realized it and is attempting to move on from an unexpected demoralizing personal event with an air of confidence. That's the kind of dedication rabid Fox viewers have come to expect.

Fox News = daily dose of confirmation bias for frightened old bigots.
Funny how their ratings tanked after they canned Tucker. But if you are too much of a racist, misogynist, lawsuit magnet for even Fox News, you know you have some issues.
