Newsmax's Eric Bolling read out a disclaimer claiming the network "has accepted the election results as legal and final" after he aired an interview with Trump.
If you see a guy walk into a building with a can of gasoline, a bunch of matches, and a blow torch, and leave with none of them, and the building is on fire, and the guy stands around and smirks and doesn’t call the fire department, and runs from the police, and says, “Some brave awesome totally ripped dude with a huge cock burned that building down!”
While you may not have any evidence, it’s pretty reasonable to make an inference.
Not really, they took a big payout and Fox is doing fine. Very disappointing outcome tbh.
Edit: Downvoters, lying to yourself doesn’t change the reality that Tucker and Fox are largely unaffected by this. Tucker can still spew lies all over the internet and Fox barely noticed a drop in profit for the year. I don’t understand why we’re suddenly okay with large corporations only getting a slap on the wrist.
This case could’ve easily been used to challenge the previous finding that they had no obligation to tell the truth as an entertainment company, but Dominion chose money instead. If you’re happy with them getting a slap on the wrist as opposed to a real chance of forcing a change in operations at Fox then that’s on you. I choose to see the reality in that Dominion chose greed over doing something meaningful in court when they had a rock solid case.
You think almost $800 million is a slap on the wrist?
Comparing that to Fox’s profits? Yes, yes I do think that’s a slap on the wrist compared to the greater implications this could’ve had on the media landscape.
I’d love to see Dominion or anyone else bankrupt these weasels and the entire organization with lawsuits
They’re working it! Dominion is going after both Newsmax & OAN. Smartmatic, another voting company, is also hitting Fox with its own 2.7b suit.
Dominion will probably be happy to settle like last time. Don’t count on them making a dent in any of these “news” organizations.
Tucker got fired. That has to be worth something.
But I don’t think we’ve ever heard why, have we?

It’s been all but confirmed that firing Carlson was part of the settlement with Dominion.

Were you expecting a single lawsuit to destroy the company? Has that ever happened?
Yes (to the second part): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollea_v._Gawker
Of course not, that’s ridiculous and you know it.

Yeah Dominion should have turned the largest ever defamation settlement on principle. Makes complete sense.
