When Dominion Voting Systems alleged Fox News helped spread conspiracy theories that Dominion manipulated the results of the 2020 election, it asked the conservative media network to pony up $1.6 billion.
Dominion had lost $600 million in potential profits on top of $1 billion in potential value, the election technology company wrote in its lawsuit, filed in March 2021. It also asked for another $1.3 million to cover expenses for private security and combatting disinformation about the company.
"As a result of the false accusations broadcast by Fox into millions of American homes, Dominion has suffered unprecedented harm and its employees' lives have been put in danger," Dominion's attorneys wrote in the lawsuit.
Internal documents from Dominion paint a different story, Fox News argues.
In a counterclaim made public Thursday, Fox News cited documents obtained during litigation that it says show Dominion's investors never believed the company would be worth more than around $80 million.
"There is no indication that Dominion ever has been or ever would have been worth anything close to $1.6 billion —the amount Dominion claims in damages for loss of enterprise value," lawyers for Fox News Network wrote in the filing. "Dominion's damage figure is pulled out of thin air."

Acting like 3-7 year olds. PUNKS.
Dominion must be prohibited from “counting” anymore votes anywhere.
Can’t they countersue?
Remember Diebold and all the claims they helped Bush win? Did anyone every get sued for that?
Making sure the right people “win” has its benefits. It was astounding how easily media companies caved to Dominion and issued uncalled for apologies.
As in Star Trek: Deep Space 9, the “Dominion must be destroyed”!!!
Fox countersued.
Think about it..... Dominion might be the single-most valuable company in the world because they might be able to decide elections to determine who controls a 20 trillion dollar economy and a 5 trillion dollar budget.
The beauty of the American electoral system used to be that there was no centralized control - it was primarily controlled by counties and to a lesser extent the state.
Dominion has been changing that and they even bragged about this years ago. It is a bad idea to have any “tech company” that controls so many elections regardless of the veracity of claims against them.
Every day we see the downside of tech monopolies and this is another example.
100% right.
