Because he got a lot of votes?

.. or was it settled so that discovery could be avoided?

Discovery is over. Trial was scheduled for today.

Discovery is done before a trial.

Very entrenched and powerful? The net worth of the company is less that 90 million.

It is my understanding the trial was going to be in Manhattan. If that's correct, it didn't matter what the facts were, Fox was going to lose.

Wilmington, Delaware.

Dominion does the bidding of a guy who died 10 years ago? How does that work?

Now Dominion will feel comfortable doubling down on the cheating in 2024.

Even if guests made the claims, a media entity that broadcasts or publishes the claims—knowing the the claims are false—are liable.

I don’t know what kind of circus you were looking for. I imagine it would have been interesting to see the execs and on-air personalities testify.

Before the trial started, judge gave parial summary judgment on “falsity.” There was going to be no argument made in the courtroom that the claims regarding Dominion Machines were true.

The only thing left for the jury to decide was “actual malice” (whether or not Fox was aware that the claims were untrue), and damages.

This isn’t over for Fox yet. They still have to deal with a similar case from Smartmatic.

That was my thought when news of this bs dominion suit first hit the headlines.

He’s got a helluva case. Biding his time, I’m sure.

They are cowards. And obviously corrupt.

He’d better hurry. Whatever statute of limitations exists is running out fast.

I’m wondering if the settlement requires Fox to say that on their network a few times.

Here’s a question: Why do states without RCV have and use RCV-enabled voting machines...?

Here's a question: Why does Microsoft Word have drawing capabilities...after all I don't use them?

They still have to deal with a similar case from Smartmatic.

And a slew of shareholder lawsuits.

Fox, in all of its filings, never once made any arguments that the defamatory claims being made (about Dominion machines, algorithms, connections to Venezuela, connections to another voting machine company—Smartmatic) were TRUE.

FOX does not have such evidence and the embarrassing reality is the those FOX personalities pushing the stolen election narrative are on record as poo poohing that story in private and admitting they did it for ratings.

The Kracken is your straw man fallacy. Trump never believed it. Most don't believe.

The rumors about Kraken were setup for people like you. All legitimate questions about election integrity is just the Kracken to you.

Good luck with that.
