Roundybout Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Wasn’t Dominion seeking more than a billion dollars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) $787 million. "The truth matters" per Dominion counsel. Staple St Capital owns Dominion. They got big bucks for their stockholders while rubbing Fox face in the mud. 2 minutes ago, Roundybout said: Wasn’t Dominion seeking more than a billion dollars? they were after $1.6 bil.

ChiGoose Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Was really looking forward to getting those liars on the stand under oath. Probably the right call for Dominion though 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got some other people who have some accountability coming towards them...we'll move right on the the next one (case)." Lawyer for Dominion stay tuned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Still nothing about it on Fox site. Dominion is valued between $30-80 mil. Settlement was 10X or more of their value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything on what Fox has to admit publicly (or not). Fox made a statement with very limited apology. Fox lead story right now is about an ethics finding against Biden's HHS sec for publicly supporting a candidate in a Cali election. No idea how @daz28sees these cases as related. but he's clearly watching Fox closely. Have you seen anything about the big settlement there daz? Fox Corp. just released a statement: “We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Hopefully this sets a precedent for suing all media outlets for lying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It changes nothing with the standard. You still have to meet actual malice under NYT v. Sullivan. Dominion had Fox dead to rights because Fox operates as a propaganda outfit, leaving a long paper trail of them saying that they knew they were lying. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Fox decided that paying almost $800 million was a better idea than letting Rupert Murdoch and Tucker Carlson testify under oath. And they are probably right! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
