Dominion Voting Systems, a company subject to a torrent of conspiracy theories from President Donald Trump and his allies seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, has sued Fox News for $1.6 billion, alleging the network falsely claimed Dominion rigged the 2020 election. That...

So all told, Fox is now having to defend nearly 4 billion dollars in civil damages. Frankly, I don't see how on earth they can.

This shit will be in court so long I bet we're all dead before it's ever settled.

 

[Gomez Adams]

I don't think so. I'm thinking 4 or 5 years before the legal fees get maxed out and Dominion and others gives up or Fox settles.

Faux news will vwery vwery quietly, settle out of court so as not to admit liability.

To make things better, the Flynn family is suing CNN for defaming Michael Flynn by asserting that he was involved in QAnon.

I guess the fact that Michael Flynn is on film pushing QAnon talking points totally escapes them.

Fox has so much money though its ridiculous. They make that much in a year. They'd be best off just paying the shit then giving everybody the finger and keep right on doing it.

That goes back to Trump saying he could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and not lose any votes. Fox News is the same. They could pay it off, admit they did it, give the world the finger and their cult followers would love them for it.

The voting-machine company Dominion Voting Systems subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell in its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News.

They now have to hand over documents related to their involvement with the news network, Bloomberg first reported on Thursday.

Dominion had sued the three for $1.3 billion each over their roles in spreading the debunked conspiracy theory that its voting machines "flipped" votes from President Donald Trump to Joe Biden during the 2020 election.

I had read about that earlier.

This could be really bad for Fox. If it comes to light that they worked a script for them or with them, Fox is screwed.

And so are they.

I bet Fox executives are already coming up with the next big lie to distance themselves from those idiots.
