The worst part is this complete confirms what everybody already knew, the legal system is only for the poor, the rich, the wealthy and the well connected are completely above it and they made it like that. Expect Fox News to go right back to their usual bullshit knowing that any consequences can just be money'd away, this country is disgusting, the colors on the American flag shouldn't be Red, White and Blue nor should it have Stars it should have Green and White with a picture of an AR-15 on it because those are the only things this country worships and the only ideals it won't compromise on

Nah, if you are represented by competent lawyers, a large number of cases settle once discovery of evidence is done. Cases that settle on the eve of trial is generally rarer and most likely due to clients playing a game of chicken.

Turns out you can put a price on undermining democracy and contributing to an insurrection attempt.

I really hope Fox have to put out some massive retractions over what theyve said because if they dont have to as part of this settlement then all it does it send the signal you can undermine democracy as much as you want as long as you have a deep enough wallet.

1.6 billion represents only 10% of Fox News total worth.

That's what I said. Most of the time, the client is the reason why cases that should settle don't until the eve of trial.

Yeah, honestly. The only thing better is it ending sooner. I've luckily never been selected for juror, but I've gotten to the selection part.
As much as jury duty is not fun, it's not supposed to be. It is a huge responsibility!

I'm guessing Fox News will try to avoid any discussion of Dominion Voting Systems from here on out. They'll probably have a canned statement on the matter like NewsMax does.

Why do you think they would have gotten more?

Because the lawsuit was for 1.6 billion and Fox news were terrified and have been trying to settle for years

I think they probably settled this 750,000 million but also gave the heads of Dominion bribes of hundreds of millions too

I don't see any other expanation for how utterly sketchy this is

Man Ive never seen so many people upset at a shitty company losing $800 million in a day.

This is a huge day. Maybe the expectation of Fox News actually going bankrupt was a bit far fetched. Take the W.


Because it doesn't do anything to stop the rot that is Fox News. While it's slightly above a slap on the wrist, it's still nothing to them. They may play it save for a little bit, but 6 months from now they will be back up to their same bullshit.

They'll just continue to push bullshit voter fraud nonsense and not mention Dominion voting machines.

Nothing changed

As far as Im concerned Fox News is on the record now admitting to lying and paid $800 million as their apology. People telling the truth dont do that. This is huge.
Fox News have admitted to being bullshit in court before. They literally succesfully argued no one sane would believe anything Tucker Carlson says.

This changes nothing.

This is a W for Fox as you know full well. Don't pretend you don't shill right wing nonsense in every topic you post in.

Big Money won. Nothing changes. Utter and total corruption
