US Politics Thread

My guess is the decision to settle came straight from Murdoch and he would have been willing to pay Dominion the 1.6 billion just to shutter the case.

It had begun to do far more damage to not only Fox but to him and his other interests than just the damages amount.

Dominion and Fox News reach last minute settlement
  1. The closely watched $1.6bn lawsuit between Dominion Voting and Fox News has ended abruptly with a settlement
  2. Dominion Voting Systems was suing the TV network for $1.6bn, claiming its reputation was hurt after Fox knowingly spread lies about its voting machines after the 2020 US election
  3. Then-president Donald Trump attacked the voting machine company after the ballot, falsely claiming that it rigged the election to favour winner Joe Biden
  4. Dominion said Fox hosts amplified the “baseless allegations” in dozens of broadcasts, despite knowing them to be false
  5. Fox argued allegations against Dominion's machines were newsworthy, and should be protected by the First Amendment - which enshrines the right to free speech
