brestugo 04/18/23 4:37:50 PM #193 | Zikten posted... Why woukd Dominion hold out so long only to settle for such a low number? It wasn't even a billion . I wanted them to go all the way too. Very much, but well over 3/4 of a billion dollars is not a "low number". --- Putin delenda est |
Topic | The Dominion v. Fox News $1.6 billion defamation trial has begun |
brestugo 04/18/23 4:32:40 PM #184 | ScazarMeltex posted... My guess? Dominion was holding out for more money and probably some other stipulations. Fox didn't want to give it and then trial day came and Fox realized just how fucking flimsy it's defense was. FWIW, that defense was pathetic. If it wasn't FOX, I'd say pitiful. The next 3 posters ITT could come up with a better strategy. --- Putin delenda est |

brestugo 04/18/23 1:54:08 PM #103 | masterpug53 posted... That's why I mentioned diminishing returns. Ironically, at this point no 'reasonable' judge / jury will see Fox's election fraud lies - and all the nigh-irreparable damage they've caused - as a simple case of witty satire.Yeah, if I was on that jury and they pulled this stunt, I'd be pretty upset and thinking, "Do they think I'm a fool up here? They tried this stunt before." Even the most "open-minded" juror's gotta see this. --- Putin delenda est |

So I gather from that they're leaning even harder into the 'it's just a prank bro, no reasonable person would actually take us seriously' angle? Because I have to assume that defense has some seriously diminishing returns.They got away with it with Tucker Carlson, unfortunately. --- Putin delenda est |

brestugo 04/18/23 12:17:30 PM #78 | CableZL posted... The judge says each day will start at 9:30 eastern for now, but the time may be moved up if there is a good flow going. Each day will end at 4:30 eastern unless there are some brief questions to be asked at that time. Those are pretty standard hours for courts. Taking care of the administrative stuff up front, which is good if you want an orderly court room. He's already sanctioned Fox for not following disclosure protocol, so looks like he wants a tightly run ship on this one. --- Putin delenda est |

Drag all of Fox's dirt into the light.Fox apparently tried an 11th hour settlement Sunday night, but Dominion didn't bite. I'm glad they want to see it through, but that settlement offer was probably YUGE. Fox has been lying since day one basically. --- Putin delenda est |

Best I can hope for is the front row I'm average height but have bad knees and I request either bulkhead or depending on the plane, exit row.

I remember when Amazons tried to sacrifice him into volcano because they needed a virgin sacrifice, and Johnny was about to say he wasn't one before he got thwacked on the head lol. Don't remember many scenes from the show but that one always stuck out to me. Vaguely remember that. The one I still laugh about is when (IIRC) a woman who's a werewolf is in love with him. He says something like "sorry babe, you're kinda... horrifying" and gets away. Not sure why that cracks me up. --- Putin delenda est |
