Fox and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement Tuesday in the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, averting a trial in a case that exposed how the top-rated network chased viewers by promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election.

WILMINGTON, Del. — “The truth matters. Lies have consequences,” said Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson in a news conference outside the courthouse after the announcement. Dominion had asked for $1.6 billion in arguing that Fox had damaged its reputation by helping peddle phony conspiracy theories about its equipment switching votes from former President Donald Trump to Democrat Joe Biden. Fox said the amount greatly overstated the value of the Colorado-based company.

I want to hear an apology from those who knowingly lied to millions of Americans.

So we finally know who's airing fake news to the world and American people, we're paying millions to fox news and they're giving us crap!!!

Fox News is paying $787.5 million to settle the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit. I guess the price of lying is high for Fox News.

This lawsuit still doesn't change the fact that Dominion voting machines will never be a trusted way to tabulate elections! We must come up with something the American people can trust 100%.

Wait! We won’t get to know exactly how FoxNews served as a propaganda arm for Trump’s election fraud fantasies, just as Twitter became a lapdog for the left?

Pathetic. Corporate America protecting corporate America.

Corporates and their lawyers can do their deals but people on the ground know the 2020 election was rigged. Arizona is an election rigging case in point.

Dominion machines messed up this run off election in GA last year

And Fox viewers may never know!

ConsumerSOS Shame. I would have loved to see those Fox scum take the stand in trial.

TRUMP WON

Prediction: Fox News will raise their subscriptions rates to the Cable and Streaming companies, and we end up paying for it in the end. We need Congress to pass reform and stop TV bundling. I have no interest in my money going to fund their lies.

Dominion shouldn't have settled. They should have held Fox to the fire and made them admit to their lies in court for all the public.

That's unfortunate. I wanted this trial to happen. I wanted Fox to get a well-deserved reckoning.

Murdoch: : ‘Good evening, MyPillow Fox viewers. I am not a sham. I was never soft and fluff on truth. I was very firm on Law & Order Online. Yes, online order is open 24/7. There’s now CNN-sucks special offer on Stop the Steal cut oats and Scam Bam Thank U MAGA mugshot set.

Que sigan las mentiras....

Please tell me the settlement requires Fox to admit to their viewers that they lied.

Look at the grin on his face. He's going to get rich off of this. Gross.
