Fox News last month agreed to fork over nearly $800 million in its settlement of a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion claimed Fox defamed the company with supposed disinformation about its role in the 2020 election. The lawsuit was set to go to trial before Fox settled in fear of an even larger judgment and the negative publicity of Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, and Sean Hannity testifying in open court. The lawsuit possibly influenced the network to cut ties with Carlson over fears of future litigation.
The whole affair demonstrates how conservatives can be sued for dubious reasons and lose big thanks to the current legal system.
Defamation law has proven to be an effective weapon for the Left. Yet, many conservatives want to aid the Left’s mission by loosening defamation laws. They somehow believe this change would help ordinary people strike back at the mainstream media. In reality, it would lead to more Dominion-style lawsuits and likely spell the end of independent right-wing media.

"Batch adjudication"
No matter how they slice it. Dominion is not just a counting software. And it literally allows allocation of the percentage of a vote as in .92% of a Trump vote for Trump and .08% for Biden.
If it allows allocation of a percentage, it’s criminal.
It’s HQ is in Canada, out of reach, but Canada does not use it.
Sketch as hell.
The Murdoch’s are idiots. By putting politics first they screwed themselves out of hundreds of millions of dollars instead of putting the truth first and helping to prove what was said about Dominion was true, before they had time to erase the evidence. Maybe the biggest case of corporate suicide since Enron.
“allocation of the percentage of a vote”
It would be quite possible to detect that at the precinct level.
At the higher level, it would be easy to enter in false data from a location in the state, but parties surely cross-check statewide and precinct counts.
Election fraud is a mainly a people problem enabled by weak system checks such as:
1. not cleansing voting rolls
2. not checking for double same day voting in different states
3. mailing ballots out without fairly recent requests by the intended recipients
And when anyone makes a move to audit or verify such things, they are met with a Dominion/Gobernment $hitshorm of litigation, criminal investigations and court closures.
When an audit is met with Iwo Jima style resistance, that tells you all you need to know.
Right is wrong, wrong is right.
Black is white and white is black.
Welcome to the end times.
“allocation of the percentage”
There is a possible problem of registration mismatch such as in Florida when people didn’t insert their punch cards in properly and wound up punching the hole for Buchanan (?) instead of the hole for Gore. No explanation was broadly made at the time since registration errors for Gore instead of Bush were possible.
For example if the Biden dot field was supposed to be 11 to 13% down and the Trump dot field was supposed to be 7 to 9% down and the ballot was misprinted 3% off (or say 3% too small & centered), a vote for Trump might get counted for Biden.
Old and stiff rubber rollers might allow a ballot to slip in an optical scanner by 2% to 3%, so in Republican states a vote for Trump might get counted for Biden.
These problems are more likely to happen when too many contests are stuffed together on one page and the percentage spreads are made too small.
Software and ballots should be designed to prevent registration related problems slipping through.
Percentage errors can also originate from improper ballot marking.
A Democratic ward worker might verify that 100% of her mail-in ballots were properly fully circle filled for Biden, but Republican suburban voters might have not fully filled 1% of their circles for Trump. This might result in a ~.2% undercount for Trump in a Philadelphia suburban county.
They could have proved that the machines could have been hacked, but probably not that the machines were hacked, let alone that Dominion was behind the fraud.
5 years ago Dominion got bought by a holding company for $80 million. I doubt, before the settlement, their value did more than double, but let’s pretend it quintupled. You don’t settle for twice what the company suing you is worth unless your lawyers think you’re going to get clocked.
Which means Conservatives should be suing early and often for any malfeasance or mal practice present in the culture and politics.
Suing teachers and school boards and districts for poor results and sexual deviance
Suing politicians for breaking public trust, money laundering and poor performance in office, think our transportation secretary.
sue the alphabet agencies for non performance, poor performance betrayal of publics trust individual malfeasance
and so on
clog the courts
