Settling the case was a moronic decision.
“Settling the case was a moronic decision.”
Yep... Pretty self explanatory. They are another fork of the Communist machine. They were just playing good cop/bad cop. This suit was a great opportunity to subpoena Dominion’s secrets.
Yep.....stupid and now they are attempting to purge Fox of the “election deniers” which, as all things Trump are proven to be, will be shown to be TRUE!!!! We ALL know the 2020 election was stolen!!! https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/04/21/after-englebrecht-and-phillips-publish-proof-of-election-data-compromise-konnech-corp-drops-lawsuit-against-true-the-vote/
No they settled because they didn’t want it to go to trial. A trial would bring discovery and the truth would come out so Ryan and the Murdoch kids could not allow that. So they were willing to pay nearly a Billion to prevent it. Win, win it gave them a convenient way to get rid of Tucker and blame him for having to pay off the settlement because “Tucker help spread lies about the integrity of the voting machines”. That last part is the MSM lie that is everywhere today.
Um no. This was a shake down pure and simple, either you cave and get rid of Carlson or we will bankrupt your network.
Remember when the Senate Majority and Minority leaders commented on the Fox News and Carslon, wondering why Murdoch didn't stop him from telling lies when the Dominion case started ?
That was a direct threat, either you play ball, or we will bankrupt your company with punitive damages.
Ironically, the only TV personality in the cable news business who has any integrity may be Rachel Maddow. When faced with a similar lawsuit for libel/defamation, she successfully defended herself by telling the truth -- basically, "My comments on the air can't be slander because nobody should take a loser like me seriously."
Agreed, but then again this is the "new" FOX, which is going into the dumpster.
