Seems what they want thrown out is just another confession.
"Any reference to the Capitol riot will only unfairly prejudice the jury against Fox," the company's lawyers said.

During a Friday segment of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough called the filing "shocking."
"I mean this is almost an admission that they believe reasonable jury members would blame them for January 6. It's incredible, as if MSNBC said to a judge, 'you can't mention 9/11' or if CNN said 'you can't mention Pearl Harbor.' ... This is so crazy!" he said.
"Well, it's almost as if the lawyers representing Fox News in this case know that if the obvious line is drawn between the lies that were told on their network and elsewhere about the 2020 election being stolen, in this case, specifically about Dominion's voting machines being used, connected to satellites that change the votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden or whatever the conspiracy theory is," co-host Willie Geist replied. "I've lost track that if a jury drew that line, that it would be quite obvious that they participated in that. We'll see if a judge allows that to be excluded from the case. But it would seem like what's actually at the heart of this case in terms of Dominion."
