DiogenesLamp: "The case is ridiculous on the face of it. No Fox personnel libeled Dominion.
Their guests did.
Fox had no liability in this at all."

For sure, I don't understand it, but am not willing to just assume the worst.

Consider this -- corrupt Democrat prosecutors and juries may well send Donald Trump to jail, attempting to prevent him for being reelected.
Do you suppose such people would hesitate for one minute to ruin Fox News in a lawsuit if they get the chance?
With such people evidence or law doesn't matter, rather it's all about tribal unity and defeating Republicans.

You mentioned the Murdochs -- they're Brits, and don't understand American judicial & political culture.
A sympathetic explanation is that they simply wanted to minimize bad publicity.

And in all of this it's forgotten that one of the major, major accusations in 2020 was that Dominion voting machines were rigged to plus up Democrat votes and/or plus down Republicans.
Apparently, that claim was 100% baseless, and so how many other claims made were also fake news?
This is the fundamental problem with any discussions on the 2020 election -- it's impossible for the average person to separate out fact from fiction.

The current consensus of "wise guy" opinions seems to be this: in 2020 Democrats were successful in changing laws to make it legal for them to steal the election.

I am sick and disgusted about that, and hope it can be corrected in 2024.

No, I don't suppose they would.

Australians, which are just as bad if not worse.

The people claiming it is baseless are the same people who claim 2020 was the cleanest election ever. I tend to believe the opposite of what they say is true.

I think some of this is due to the deliberate false stories spread by people trying to discredit any inquiry into election fraud. That business of the US army raiding servers in Germany comes to mind.

One of the biggest problems lies in your state of Pennsylvania. I would urge you to try to do something about it, but I very much doubt there is anything you can do.

Corrupt big cities will keep vote fraud alive.
