The only honest and responsible programming at Fox are The Simpsons. Ironically they knew the news division was trash 20 years ago and weren’t afraid to say so

Smart money says Fox and Dominion will both move to settle the suit soon and avoid a potential summary judgment in Dominion’s favor or potential First Amendment precedents that could destroy America. I guess the latest accusations from this producer could be the final nail against Fox.
Why First Amendment Experts Think Fox News Will Settle Its Dominion Dispute
With dueling motions for summary judgment pending and a trial looming, lawyers watching the fight expect it to end in a draw as the network weighs "how much risk they want to take and how much money they have on hand."www.hollywoodreporter.com
if somebody could force them to admit they deliberately maliciously spread lies to influence the election, like a civil or criminal court, it would be a total game changer for American politics.I think Dominion has said they aren't interested in settling, but I suppose the size of the check could change their minds.
Unfortunately even if they get a settlement ruled against them, all they learn is that it's expensive to meddle with politics. You have to ruin them, salt the earth, till the fields and salt it again.if somebody could force them to admit they deliberately maliciously spread lies to influence the election, like a civil or criminal court, it would be a total game changer for American politics.
BUT if they could just punish them with a huge settlement, it may send the message you cannot do whatever the fuck you like in politics. Which the current conservative cult seems to honestly think is true.
Every time we let them get away with shit, we prove them right. So yeah, lets start suing pundits and propaganda networks. Alex Jones already lost. We have precedent.
At least a month.If I were Dominion, I would settle for 800m along with each Fox host going on the air for a week and admit to every lie they've ever told. In case they claim "I can't remember" let Dominion provide the list of lies.
That will kill their way of doing business and leave a carcass for Smartmatic, that producer and the capital police in case they decide to sue.

Dominion would probably settle for something like that, but Fox would never accept such a settlement. I'm guessing that Fox will never settle for any admission of guilt at all, if for no other reason than because it would open up the door for a hundred other lawsuits. But the truth is that this lawsuit is about the validity of the business model of both companies. Whoever loses this suit is going to have to drastically change how they do business. This is in truth a corporate fight to the death!If I were Dominion, I would settle for 800m along with each Fox host going on the air for a week and admit to every lie they've ever told.

I sure hope soDominion will settle for nothing less than a finding or admission of guilt.
Nor should they.
I sure hope so
I think the easiest way to look at this is that Dominion's business is destroyed, at least in the United States. No election official is ever going to buy their machines again - not because they are actually bad/compromised but because they won't want to deal with the fallout from the crazies.I assume, like most businesses, Dominion’s board, private shareholders, and executive leadership team are not comprised of die hard progressive liberals (even if they are Canadian.)
Their owners, Staple Street Capital, acquired the firm in 2018. They stand to make quite the windfall from any settlement deal. Nobody in their shoes would opt for a jury trial and all the delays and appeals that entails just to “send a message”.
So if a settlement offer is made, 90% chance it’s accepted or countered and negotiated—not rejected on principle.
I think there is definitely a figure they would accept though.
Agree, and I'd put most of the other 10% coming from Fox making a lowball offer well below value of the firm that isn't worth the time to even read it.I assume, like most businesses, Dominion’s board, private shareholders, and executive leadership team are not comprised of die hard progressive liberals (even if they are Canadian.)

That would make no difference with their viewers.If I were Dominion, I would settle for 800m along with each Fox host going on the air for a week and admit to every lie they've ever told. In case they claim "I can't remember" let Dominion provide the list of lies.

Based on my experience their response would be that the lawyers made them say that and everyone knows lawyers are liars.That would make no difference with their viewers.
Assuming this was 'true' what was lost? If it was the reputation of the shady repairman (who is being sued for his part in the scheme) how many dollars were lost? I.e, i suspect that the cost of suing msm would be many times higher than any reward. This is a bit different - if dominion could only win a few thousands via winning a lawsuit I suspect they would rethink the process (unless they are very wealthy and just wanted to make a point). These lawsuit are not cheap.Its funny how there’s no lawsuits over the massive msm deceit on Hunters laptop… said Joe Rogan 1000x times. Not.
