A jury would have determined whether Fox News acted with malice by deliberately airing false statements about Dominion Voting Systems. The Denver-based voting machine maker was seeking $1.6 billion in damages.

TV news coverage of the former president’s arrest had a somber tone. But there were still plenty of partisan jabs on conservative networks Fox News, Newsmax and OAN.Fox News, with emails and texts showing how executives and hosts tried to balance their own disbelief of Trump’s allegations with their perceived need to mollify his supporters who habitually watch the network.

Dominion accused Fox News of amplifying false charges made by Trump’s attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudolph W. Giuliani that the company’s machines manipulated votes to help elect President Biden. Dominion said Fox News acted out of fear that the MAGA faithful would tune out and move to upstart conservative network Newsmax, which was gaining viewership at the time.

787 Million dollars. We now know how much it cost to sell out democracy & truth. dominionvoting just put a price on walking away from defending democracy & truth. RupertMurdoch FoxNews Just showed they can get away with anything, including silencing democracy and the truth.

More money to sue Dominion once truth comes out.

Oh darn. Fox got off cheap.

Pretty cheap for the magnitude of the falsehoods that have been accepted as fact by the viewers of Fox News

FoxNews agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million, according to an attorney for Dominion. Other details of the settlement were not disclosed.

Once you've drunk of the Kool-aid

Fox viewers love being lied too there’s no way they believe all the bullshit lies

Trump should have sued MSNBC for Russiagate (actually I think he did)

How do we legally hold Fox News accountable for its lies undermining US democracy?

What kind of damages did dominion really suffer with this case though? They’re being used for elections. Seems strange to settle on this

'Smearing' Really? FOX LIED AND KNEW THEY WERE LYING.

Well I guess they have something in common with CNN now.

Other 'news' agencies should follow suit, as most are trash.

Fox Lies

'Fair and Balanced'? More like Fibs and Bullshit.
