Dominion Voting Systems files a $US1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, arguing the cable news giant, in an effort to boost faltering ratings, falsely claimed that the voting company had rigged the 2020 US presidential election.

"The truth matters. Lies have consequences," the lawsuit said. "… If this case does not rise to the level of defamation by a broadcaster, then nothing does."

Nearly all the legal challenges from Mr Trump and his allies were dismissed by judges, including two tossed by the Supreme Court, which has three Trump-nominated justices. The cable giant lost viewers after the election and was seen by Trump and some supporters as not being supportive enough of the Republican.

It is now widely targeted in conservative circles, seen by millions of people as one of the main villains in a fictional tale in which Democrats nationwide conspired to steal votes from Trump, the lawsuit said.A sample ballot on a Dominion voting machine.

When are you going to report on Biden border crisis. Shocking images of children in cages wrapped up like burritos

What happens if fox is vindicated ?

😂😂😂 their product was badmouth for sure but $1.6 billion. 🤦‍♂️ Dominion should be paying fox for the advertising. 😜

Lol lol good job Dominion. Abuse of freedom of speech

Fox News defence will be..we are a parody station and no sane person would believe anything they saw or heard on Fox

There was definitely some type of shonky business going on in that election. Not many people understand the filthy power dynamics of US politics. I feel very sad for the American people and cross border refugees who are suffering under current policy. Are the media blind ?

Medias should be held accountable for their speech.

Sweet Lou Dobbs on Fox went batshit crazy with Dominion claims and now the piper will be paid.

Sky News preached the same false narrative too. Paul Murray, Allan Jones & co all fell for Trump election lies hook, line & sinker. I’m surprised they didn’t storm the capitol & demand they get 20yrs jail just to protect Trump’s ego. Sky News should be embarrassed 😂

Good timing. Even I, who is not tech savvy, could purge every one of their machines in this time frame.
