what this might mean for Dominion's suits against Powell and Giuliani?
Not a lot. They have pending litigation with Newsmax, OAN, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Mike Lindell.
The problem for Fox is they had text and email chains that were proof they knew what they were saying and amplifying on air were lies.
ETA I should point out the major positive for Dominion is they now have a ridiculously large litigation war chest. Even after attorneys fees and costs from the Fox settlement they were paid multiple times the valuation of their company.

SOmeone explain to me how they were able to win this?
I thought even if people lied it was super hard to win defamation suits (like sarah palin's)?

Small price to pay to keep your on air talent from sitting on the stand and admitting to the world you’re a lying sack of shite.
This is why this is crazy to me, some of the top on air talent for Fox News have said that Trump was/is crazy. Fox, CNN, MSNBC, it doesn’t matter, these people are paid to push whatever narrative that pays the bills. The major news networks are no different than the politicians they bitch about on a daily basis, both are bought and paid for.

If you believe that there was no widespread Democrat friendly fraud in that election, I have several bridges to sell you in Louisiana.
That said, don't know enough on the specifics of the Dominion case to weigh in. And FOX is full of shite, but not any more than NYT, NBC,ABC, CBS,WAPO, CNN, etc, but you won't hear much about the latter.
