Fox News $787.5 Million Settlement and Embarrassing Disclosures: The Cost of Airing a Lie
The New York Times (via MSN.com) ^ | 18 April 2023 | Jim Rutenberg & Katie Robertson

Posted on 04/18/2023 7:35:15 PM PDT by zeestephen

In settling with Dominion Voting Systems, Fox News has avoided an excruciating, drawn-out trial in which its founding chief, Rupert Murdoch, its top managers and its biggest stars would have had to face hostile grilling on an embarrassing question: Why did they allow a virulent and defamatory conspiracy theory about the 2020 election to spread across the network when so many of them knew it to be false?

Hopefully, Conservatives and the GOP leadership will start filing defamation lawsuits aginst The NYT and other MSM.

Trump lost the 2020 election by 43,000 votes spread across three states - WI, GA, and AZ.

The NYT and other MSM persist in claiming that voter fraud in those three states has been debunked.

However, the NYT and other MSM have no idea how many ineligible voters cast ballots in those three states, and they have no idea how many ballots have no verifiable chain of custody in those three states.

Conservatives cannot prove that Donald Trump won the election.

But, The NYT and other MSM cannot prove that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

Both sides complicit in the steal.

Neither side wanted discovery.

Win win sham.

Has the NYTs settled with Nick Sandmann yet?

What happened that $250m lawsuit?

Since when do the plaintiffs disclose the amounts in settlements?

Shameless, but funny.

How many times has the NYT been caught lying?

I have had some experience with compulsive liars. They accuse everyone else of lying. It is part of the sickness.

RIP Fake Faux News.
Dominion is coming for Mike Lindell Next.
I hope he still has those “Data Packets”.
The Real Fraud was in the mass mail out ballots
and drop boxes.

You are on the wrong website. And it appears that I am too. It appears as though Free Republic has been taken over by RINO/establishment/deep state types.

I will agree with one you said, conservatives cannot prove that Trump won the election. There are not any conservatives left. They have all been bought off or compromised.

No one on Fox would dare mention the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

There are no data packets. The whole thing was a distraction to keep the focus off the ballot box stuffing.

So much for those hoping that the discovery phase would be helpful for the Truth.

“Conservatives cannot prove that Donald Trump won the election.”

Not an accurate statement. Corrupt judges refuse to allow conservatives to bring any case that presents the evidence that proves the fraudulence in several areas: vote tabulating machines, ballot harvesting, generating fraudulent ballots, preventing citizens from voting (Kari Lake), etc., etc., etc.

Conservatives did not lose any court cases after the 2020 election. The only court case that saw justice was in Antrim County, Michigan. One case was heard out of hundreds filed, and the conservatives won that one. Corrupt judges claimed the citizens of the United States didn’t have standing.

The Dominion theory was shaky enough to cost Fox big bucks. I am afraid that if the the truth about mail-in/dropbox fraud (or cheating via voting machines) ever starts to emerge, the left will shout it down saying "Dominion verdict!" (repeat 100 times). Did we lose our last chance to challenge the 2020 steal?

Yeah that is what l was thinking about. The NYT has been caught lying and lying and lying but have always skated because to get them fit libel you have to prove they intended to lie, as if.

Re: "Not an accurate statement."

I disagree.

I am a life long Conservative.

No Conservative can prove how many ineligible voters cast a ballot in WI, GA, and AZ.

No Conservative can prove how many ballots had no verifiable chain of custody in WI, GA, and AZ.
