Yes. With good reason. I hope they get soaked. However, knowingly telling falsehoods should not be criminal. Need to protect the free press and whatever Fox is. And certainly not treason. Going at it civilly is the way to go in this layman’s view.
It could be criminal. I’m sure it won’t be, but it’s not like there is a huge leap. I mean… basically it’s conspiracy to commit fraud laid out in various email chains. Although there is generally lots of leeway given to marketers and commercial actors to lie, a bit too much leeway if you ask me. The other issue who is the victim? Dominion is victim of defamation, but they were not defrauded by Fox. Who is identified as victim then? You could say the advertisers, but it’s really the public writ large. Treason is obviously a stretch. It’s more of the colloquial definition of treason rather than meeting the legal standard.
Just like religion. True believers Instance after instance of lies to harness the ruble nation, and yet, the needle never moves. Talk about Cleopatra candidates. Heritage and states’ rights, LMFAO. Man, I thought the quail earlier were easy targets.
"Counselor," I can always count count on you for the most bizarre justifications when you get caught inventing stuff, especially "legal" stuff. Fox did not need to be "exonerated" (improper term) from a non-existent possibility of being prosecuted for treason.
Total takedown by Alex Wagner. Best part is the 7:00- 11:00 where she rapid fire goes through the appalling actions of Fox.
Forget the defamation claim for a moment. How can any viewer ever trust the words from these people’s mouths again?
They A) don’t care B) Think reports from other news sources are lies C) Haven’t even heard the reporting because Fox isn’t mentioning it D) are too stupid to understand E) All of the above. Answer E. It’s always E
There even exists a market for Fox News and Rush Limbaugh etc et al, bc the MSM notoriously lied with impunity manipulatung facts to serve narratives, and rather than correcting their cousre, they continued and even still continue to engage in the same crap. Fox is just one other source to triangulate to get to truth. TBL--taking Fox down and/or out of the picture, does NOT get anyone closer to the truth--it just makes the narrative more malleable and susceptible to Leftist interests. No thx. Like hell to the hell no thx.
I don’t really understand the retort. But if you’re asking me whether I will be able to believe a word they say? The answer is clearly, no. They’re documented agenda-driven liars.
Oh boy. No i dont give half a crap about your opinion about Fox. Hell, i could have told you what you think of Fox. My point is that I'll give more than a fart's worth of credence to your feigned indignity about Fox's veraciry, AFTER i see you do more than carry your own team's [at least as] polluted water. Good Lord...get over y'all's selves. #dasnowglobedules!
Signs of desperation at Faux News after the leaked texrs and e-mails. They’re asking for dismissal on the grounds that Dominion dispensary suffer $1.6Bin economic damages. As I mentioned earlier that’s undoubtedly true it won’t fly with a judge. the punitive damages are where it’s at. Fox News Files Counterclaim in Dominion Suit Alleging Company Can’t Prove ‘Staggering’ $1.6 Billion Damages
I’m without a team. And I no longer have to have an opinion about whether Fox knowingly pushes a false narrative, their own words confirm they push the false narrative. It’s fact.
Yeah, I’m not a lawyer, so I’m sure there are things I don’t understand. But common sense me says, when you know you’re screwed, take you medicine and get on with your life. Don’t make it worse. I was thinking they should have settled. But maybe Fox said no, or whatever settlement talk there was had dominion asking for crazy numbers, and they had no choice. But they had to know what dominion would find in discovery, and barring a miracle, once they did it was game over.
Each side has a different agenda. Settlements may not be about money. I would imagine Dominion wants to protect, and bolster, its brand. Fox has the same agenda, so marrying those diametrically opposed goals make’s resolution difficult. While Dominion did a great job showing how untrustworthy Fox truly was, that does not necessarily mean that they will win the liability case for defamation, which is a difficult case to win. And, to be fair and from what I’ve read, Fox has done an excellent job of mitigating the exposure to damages. They’ve shown Dominion’s valuation to be hyper-inflated and their “losses” thus far to have been exaggerated. But I’m not sure the damages component matters when the goal is brand-repair.
