Dominion to Sue Fox, Anchors, Giuliani, Powell, etc

Maybe Dominion will collect deserved damages from some of the folks that made the claims. When Fox did it, for example, you never know if they believed it or if they were just playing the suckers for ratings.

what’s much more disturbing is that so many Americans were so gullible and easily manipulated to believe that crap.

 

From Democrats. Almost none.

 

Fox playing suckers for ratings??

 

The human price for one individual
Dominion Voting official, in hiding, speaks out: 'This never ends for me'

 

Awful.

And their defense is that they had the obligation to repeat what they heard. So by this logic, if we told them that McConnell eats babies, they’d have to report it in their podcast, due to their obligation.

 

Just asked my very conservative neighbor if he still thought the election was a fraud. He does.
He quoted Sidney Powell as saying it’s not over.
He hadn’t heard about her claiming no reasonable person would believe what she’d claimed. My telling him didn’t change his mind.
We’re doomed.

 

He's probably telling his other neighbor - hey, you know what that lunatic liberal that lives on the other side of me told me?

 

I think you mean the Rachel Maddow defense. She used it first. Rachel Maddow's defense to OAN defamation lawsuit is that on-air statements shouldn't be considered fact

 

Man, Tucker’s arguments are so devoid of facts that he can’t even generate his own argument explaining how fact-less they are.

 

Yeah, that isn't the same argument. OAN hired a reporter that was also paid by Russian government media. They sued claiming that the whole network wasn't paid. The suit was tossed, as it was obvious in a segment about that reporter that she was discussing the fact that they shared a reporter with an outlet that could be reasonably called a Russian propaganda outlet, and OAN had to pay legal fees. She did not claim that a reasonable viewer should be skeptical of whatever she says.

 

No, that isn't exactly what happened. First, BizPac Review is a far right publication with questionable history when it comes to facts:

Here's a less biased story on it:

MSNBC, Rachel Maddow awarded $250,000 in legal fees after OAN lawsuit

 

Please educate us all as to the number of votes that were fraudulent in this election as found by a court? There were plenty of suits in many states, so you must identify fraudulent elections in actuality. Not Democrats. Not tin foil hat theory. But in reality. This is not political - it is the foundation of our country so do not undermine it without evidence, but only with politicized allegations devoid of evidence.

 

If you need the exact number, then you can feel free to educate us

 

Uh oh. Fox News will have to go to court. Dominion about to own them. Maybe it will be renamed to “Dominion’s Fox News”.

Judge rejects Fox News request to dismiss Dominion Voting’s defamation lawsuit over election claims

A judge on Thursday rejected a request from Fox News to dismiss a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over baseless claims made against the company during the 2020 presidential election, allowing the suit to move forward.


Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis said it was “reasonably conceivable” for the Denver-based voting-machine company to have a defamation claim.


“The Court can infer that Fox intended to avoid the truth,” Davis wrote in a 52-page ruling. “Whether Dominion ultimately will prove Fox’s actual malice by clear and convincing evidence is irrelevant on a motion to dismiss. … Accordingly, Fox’s Motion should be denied.”


Dominion filed the lawsuit against Fox News earlier this year, claiming that some of its highest-profile on-air talent helped elevate false charges that the company had changed votes to favor Joe Biden over then-President Donald Trump. The lawsuit claims that hosts such as Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro brought Trump allies onto their shows to spread lies asserting that Dominion was using algorithms in voting machines that were created in Venezuela to rig multiple elections for Hugo Chávez, the late president.

 

I suspect that at this point Fox will be doing whatever it can to negotiate a settlement with Dominion. If that fails the depositions of the Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham and any of the other Fox infotainment stars who perpetuated the false narrative about Dominion should be very entertaining.

 

$1.6 billion would be so awesome. That's about 5 years of normal profit for Fox News.

 

Fox News parent must face defamation lawsuit over election coverage

 

Love the judges comments on the Murdoch's

Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis on Tuesday denied Fox Corp.’s motion to dismiss the suit, saying Dominion Voting Systems had shown that the Murdochs may have been on notice that the conspiracy theory that rigged voting machines tilted the vote was false but let Fox News broadcast it anyway. Dominion cited in its suit a report that Rupert Murdoch spoke with Trump a few days after the election “and informed him that he had lost,” the judge noted.

The first amendment gives the media a lot of leeway, but Dominion's suit against Fox keeps moving forward as a judge ruled that Dominion had met the actual malice standard.
