    Well, Fox really, really, really did not want to go to trial.

        This settlement is second only to the Alex Jones verdict in size for libel.

        The difference is, Jones will never pay the full 965MM as he doesn’t have it.

        That sort of makes this #1.

          And two weeks from now, the public will go "What?" .

          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

              It will be intersesting if Fox News personalities (and other news shows) change their talking during the next elections.

                Nah.

                I'm still waiting for Rachel Maddow to apologize and for the New York Times to return the Pulitzer.

                  They already did. Note they did not amplify the desperate claims of the maga losers in November.

                    Newsmax and OANN each have Dominion suits too.

                    Same judge.

                      Those could and should bankrupt both groups and I have no problem with that.

                      I still haven’t seen any reporting re: Fox that shows they actually slandered Dominion. Only that they reported in the President’s claims.

                        One commentator (Dersh?) said that the judge saying that Fox's statements were false before the trial would be legit grounds for an appeal.

                        Of course, an appeal would happen after a trial, and presumed loss by Fox.

                        They didn't want the trial.

                            I've been repeatedly told that Fox News is a quality news organization, and that I only think otherwise because I'm a snobby bastard.

                                  Jonah Goldberg puts the settlement in perspective - asking how many MyPillow ads they'd have to sell to cover the cost.

                                  “The Dominion settlement amounts to 78,750 30-second My Pillow ads. That’s about 27 days of watching Mike Lindell pop out from behind the medicine cabinet to talk about Giza cotton and whatnot. For perspective, the entire run of all 745 episodes of The Simpsons—viewed back-to-back with no commercial interruptions—would take slightly more than 11 days to watch."

                                      “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                        Aren’t most mainstream pundits Never-Trumpers?

                                        Like, isn’t Tucker just a Never Trumper that plays a Trumper on TV?

                                          Goldberg, the Never-Trumper who used to be at National Review?

                                          Who since co-founded Dispatch Media which seems to be doing quite well.

                                          But it’s just a jocular take on the magnitude of the settlement. It’s not serious, besides, Dominion will own MyPillow soon anyway.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
