jake, why would Fox agree to allow the terms of the settlement to become public?

seems off to me.


Makes you wonder what the confidentiality clause number might have been, doesn't it?

The discovery that included Dominion employees making very similar statements to what Fox News hosts said or something else?

The discovery that exposed most of the Trump cheerleaders as people who thought he was an idiot.

They would have all been dragged into court, one by one, to give open testimony about how much they didn't like Trump (or in Tucker's case, how much he "passionately" hated Trump).

You think that audiences would have ignored that? Specifically, you think thin-skinned Trumpkins would have ignored that?

I think that had no bearing or relevance to the issue at hand.

But I do agree it was settled for reasons other than FNC winning on the merits of the argument.

Simple. Fox is in on the scam. This is for show. Sets precedent so that legitimate news reporting will look bad if they don’t cave.

Like another version of the old Obama-era Sue and Settle lawsuits. Crazy shite that was allowed to happen there.

I read Dominion's complaint.

This is all BS.

At trial? Maybe not, but it would have been relevant enough to be questioned at the trial.

Like I said, FNC could win at trial but would still lose the war.

I don't think Dominion ended up winning b/c of the leverage based on their complaint, but due to documents produced by FNC in discovery.

Right

That’s what helped establish actual malice, and also showed they were knowingly giving a platform to false information

I still don't know if they win at trial, but there's no way Fox News survives that trial.

Each of the anchors could be grilled for DAYS having to admit they dislike Trump and thought "the Steal" was stupid, disavowing yokels on J6 along the way.

I'm sure Patriots would still watch after that

Yeah, as hilarious as this has all been already I think I would’ve paid real money of my own to see Tucker on the stand admitting Trump is a crazy loser
