Fox’s lawyers believe that the decision to put Guilfoyle on the air is conclusive proof that the network’s brass cannot be held responsible for their actions.

$787.5 Million.

Fear not Tucker can probably cover it.

BREAKING: Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos calls settlement with Fox News "historic," adding: "Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage to my company... nothing can ever make up for that."

Apropos the thread title, let us just hope that between the tort system and the market system we can keep both great scourges of modern politics, magatry and wokeism, under a degree of control.

Won't work. Wokeism has the blessings of those in power.

@jon-nyc if you expand the search to look only for the “dominion” keyword, you get one result from two days ago about the case about to do onto trial.

[jon-nyc]

I wonder if they have to say/print/broadcast something publicly.

I wish Sandman had gotten a public statement from his defendants, but I think he only got money.

@George-K

Yes but that’s a corporate press release, like any company might issue. It didn’t get broadcast on their channels.

Cavuto is talking about it right now.

Cool.

“How much is $787.5 million for Fox? A recent corporate filing showed that the Fox Corporation had about $4.1 billion “of cash and cash equivalents” on hand at the end of last year.”

So they won’t go broke, but no matter how much money you have you don’t want to give away a fifth of it.

A Twitter Lawyer:

"The judge had ruled the statements made by Fox were false, meaning the jury would be told that several elements of defamation had been determined, leaving the fight over malice and money. Hence the 11th hour settlement."

[George K]

CNN has the sads that a settlement was reached.

"Chump change."

Who you gonna believe, CNN or @jon-nyc ?
