The Dominion Voting systems defamation case against Fox News has concluded, with Fox throwing in the towel, and agreeing to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million (roughly one-quarter of Fox News' reported gross earnings in 2022) to settle its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit. This was to avoid a protracted trial, but really, they should have gone for it, since the payment was not far off. As I understand it, Fox went down for reporting false statements, that harmed the plaintiff’s reputation. I do not know if the actual machines were tested, or what evidence was heard in court. But, the issue was about the integrity of the election, and issues like this should be publicly debated, even if ultimately wrong. Anyway, while Leftists are rejoicing, the case creates a precedence for media outlets and others to go after Leftists who pushed things like Russia stole the election for Trump. It will be open lawfare now.
One more case to raise sceptical doubts abut the state of the Western legal systems.
