In settling with Dominion Voting Systems, Fox News has avoided an excruciating, drawn-out trial in which its founding chief, Rupert Murdoch, its top managers and its biggest stars would have had to face hostile grilling on an embarrassing question: Why did they allow a virulent and defamatory conspiracy theory about the 2020 election to spread across the network when so many of them knew it to be false?

Because The Times only publishes the(ir) truth…

“Why did they allow a virulent and defamatory conspiracy theory about the 2020 election to spread across the network when so many of them knew it to be false?”

Why Trump HAS to win in '24. They take Trump down it is over. There is only one way to set things right.

Exactly- Dominion banked on the fact that they could strong arm anyone claiming there was fraud- they knew that the msm woudl run with the lie that ‘there was no fraud’, and that they had the upper hand because courts refused to even take any cases by conservatives-

I’m sure Dominion’s hands aren’t clean but as with any data processing machine—garbage in, garbage out.

[DiogenesLamp]

Everything the New York Times says is a lie. They are liars.

[DiogenesLamp]

No Conservative can prove how many ineligible voters cast a ballot in WI, GA, and AZ.

You are putting for the "fallacy of false choice." It is not necessary to prove "how many". It is only necessary to prove that substantial fraud took place to an extent that could render the result incorrect.

And that is easily provable.

The NYT and other MSM persist in claiming that voter fraud in those three states has been debunked.

you left out the weasel word "widespread".

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I can’t prove it but I believe there were major election shenanigans in 2020. Would Biden have won without the cheating? Maybe not.

[Syncro]

$400 Million spent by FB/META on election fraud to steal the election for Biden.

Mostly with ballot drop boxes.

He will continue.

He’s in line with dems and Deep State.

[Syncro]

No Biden did not win.

Massive fraud, directed by satan.

[logi_cal869]

a virulent and defamatory conspiracy theory about the 2020 election

Yeah, like "mostly peaceful protests", "pee tape" & "russian collusion".

[ganeemead]

This was the most flagrant election steal of all time.Normally you figure an election has to be cloose to get stolen; This one wasn’t even close to close and they stole it anyhow.

[ronnie raygun]

It was a coup dominion was in on it period

[Alberta's Child]

Mike Lindell is going to lose his case — badly.

So is Sidney Powell and her stupid “Kraken.”

The vote-counting machines worked just fine. It’s just that they are counting many — probably several million — ballots that had been cast fraudulently.

[Codeflier]

My theory is Fox News settled because they didn’t want the extent of their opposition to Trump, and coordinated efforts with the GOPe and Democrats to be fully revealed.

That would have cost them way more than 700 million $ in lost viewers.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Death to the New York Times!
Death to Fox News!
Death to all propaganda media. /spit

[SisterK]

Neither side wanted discovery.

bingo

[mewzilla]

FNC throwing in the towel also will give other outlets a great excuse not to cover election fraud.

For anyone still watching FNC: Shame on you.
