From the Beyond Outrageous Lies Files: The AP reports:
Fox and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement Tuesday in the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, averting a trial in a case that exposed how the top-rated network chased viewers by promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election.
The terms of the settlement were not immediately clear.The settlement was announced by the judge in the case, who allowed the case to go to trial while emphasizing that it was “CRYSTAL clear” that none of the allegations about Dominion aired on Fox by allies of former President Donald Trump were true.A statement from Fox said the settlement reflected the network’s “continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.”
As I expected in the case of a settlement (post yesterday), the terms of the agreement are secret. Faux gets to proudly and brazenly lie about how great it and its “highest journalistic standards” are. Faux could not care less about allowing “the country to move forward from these issues.” The only acrimony that was relevant was that between Dominion and the fascist Faux trying to protect its revenues, profits and fascist, democracy-crushing agenda.
Update: Oops, I stand corrected. The Hill is reporting that Faux paid Dominion $787.5 million. I thought that would be kept secret.
