Fox News shocked the world by settling its case with Dominion Voting Machines, and agreeing to pay $757.5 million in damages. It was an obvious admission that they were caught dead to rights and didn't want any of their blowhard talking heads on the witness stand. The settlement amount is about 5% of Fox News’ total revenue for 2022, but I think they'll manage. After all, this is a company that seems to have survived endless lawsuits over sexual harassment of its employees, just one of which cost it $90 million.
After the settlement was announced, Fox’s attorneys issued a statement admitting, “We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false.”
The other voting machine maker Smarmatic still has its case against Fox and its case against conservative news outlet Newsmax pending in the courts-- so this isn't over by a long shot.
