Fox settles with Dominion for $787.5 Million, admitting it lied!

[Thaco]

I cant even....


i really wish they hadn't settled so all the dirt could come out in court, obviously that's why they did settle.


I'll let people find their own sources, it'll be everywhere soon, but some of you think MSM is all the lies anf ake news so even if i did post sources you'd deny it.

EDIT:
yeah, as suspected.

Fox News stock looking bottomy yet?

Since the anchors don't have to acknowledge it on air nothing will change. If OAN, Breitbart, and whatever else masquerades as news report it? Then maybe?

their viewers are too stupid to care, Fox wont cover it, and the viewers definitely wont seek alternative media sources.

I'm surprised fox is even allowed to use the word "News" in their broadcasts.

literally anything

you can choose to direct a Fox news viewer to a better alternative, and you wouldn't have anything specific to suggest?

[Xtrema]

literally anything

Everything is the same. Making a mountain out of a molehill.

If anything, people need blinders and just stay in your lanes and stop bothering other people based on your views.

[Thaco]

No, because nobody should rely on one source, that's why most people's perspective of the world is so fucked up, view as many sources as is reasonable and draw a line down the middle, you might get close.

Csmonitor and AlJazera and that's a decent slice of world viewpoints.

Csmonitor is particularly good for long form writing.

Apparently you have to believe in the Abrahamic God to make good news.

[vengie]

Have you guiz considered tuning into the CBC for your news?

[ExtraSlow]

Csmonitor is pretty agnostic despite the name.

[Xtrema]

Csmonitor is pretty agnostic despite the name.

They have a branding issue despite the are great at not participating sensationalism.

[ExtraSlow]

And in a way, having your brand displaying bias is less problematic than pretending to be unbiased, which is extremely unlikely.

People pretending to have zero biases are liars or fools.

[suntan]

Csmonitor is pretty agnostic despite the name.

Yeah, I know. Them and The Economist are the only two media outlets I can tolerate.

[redline]

this is only the first the next voting system lawsuit is around the corner another billion will go out the door...

but it will change nothing

[ExtraSlow]

I feel like the USA is so close to getting the mechanics of voting right, but then..... Not.

I wish they would, because it'd then have a hope of coming to canada.

[tirebob]

I turn to Beyond for all my news... It's the only source a person needs.

yep, i think they were shooting for somewhere north of 2.5 billion, looking forward to that one... i dont expect it to really accomplish anything but as long as tucker and murdoch get poorer i'm happy.

Hasn't done shit to Fox stock.

It dropped a WHOLE $1 from end of day 04/18 (I'm guessing that's when they let the story break) and hasn't recovered yet, but it will.

My bottomy stock reference was just a shot at misterman.

Thaco Only chance of Fox news viewers hearing it is if Trump mentions it. So here's hoping for a childish squabble between the two.

Trump wants this settlement. It's best for him this doesn't go to trial.

If Trump wins prez again, this would be the best $800M ever spent on a campaign.

I am happy Fox got slapped for that one but I also think the got off lightly.

[DonJuan]

I hope this sets a precedent that will cause news companies to be held accountable for the BS they spread. It won't, but there is that hope.

Fox definitely got off easy.

Accountable? By who?

[DonJuan]

^ Mostly to the people or companies that they spread lies about. Being open to lawsuits is a form of accountability. Open the floodgates of low threshold libel suits. :dunno:

I'm still living in the hope.

[Buster]

It seems a bizarre suggestion that people would be better off with a more litigious society.

[DonJuan]

The world needs more lawyers. MOAR I say MOAAAR! :D

I do see your point. If any country would become even more frivolously litigious it would be the good ol' US of A

I wonder if this will cause FOX to rethink some of the other lies that they spread? For example the Jan 6 Tucker Carlson version of events by some accounts even the other Fox News hosts didn't agree with and mention on their shows.

Can Fox be sued again? I'm thinking by the families of those that died. I mean Murdoch might be able to shrug off this $780 mil suit, but a few more of these might be bad news, even for him.

Of course CBC is indpendant. Even when harper stacked the board with his cronies, righties still accused it of being left leaning.

See the difference?

there's a 2.6 billion suit that's inevitible from another voting machine company which is a slam dunk due to this ruling, and the shareholders will undoubtably sue murdoch, again. You're right, could be a variety of other smaller suits to follow, i sure as hell hope it sinks them

Yeah it’s entirely a bargaining chip to get a higher settlement. Fox would take a 1B hush settlement over 500MM and public on air apology any day of the week.

Many of Carlson’s private messages were released in motions filed by Dominion, revealing that the host was skeptical of many of the election-fraud claims made on-air by Trump-affiliated attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

But it was Carlson’s comments about Fox management, as revealed in the Dominion case, that played a role in his departure from Fox, a person familiar with the company’s thinking told The Post.

Notably, Carlson was not allowed back on air to say goodbye to the mammoth audience he had amassed in his years as a primetime host.

Looks like he was fired for going against the narrative and bitching about his boss. So haters don't be celebrating.


Carlson: “But those — those particular texts were pulled at exactly — at the moment where I was texting with one of my producers because some idiot on the Trump campaign had sent us the name of these dead voters who had voted. And we went and I repeated them on air, and it turns out some of them were alive. So. I was just — I felt humiliated. Yeah. Like what? And I thought then and I think now that that election was not on the level, it was not a free and fair election. I thought that then. I think it now.”

And plenty more like Carlson will take up the slot.

If anyone cares about the texts that got him fired:

NOPE. None of that is why he was let go. All that was well known inside fox.

The ONLY reason he was let go is his opposition to Ukraine and its fascist government.

This is why this was about Ukraine, not Dominion.

The dominion thing is done. The emails, texts, evidence out there. He can still be forced to testify etc. Firing him does nothing for this and future cases.

His stance on Ukraine is dangerous to the military industrial complex and his view is spreading (yes, a broken clock can be right, yadda yadda).
