With a $1.6 billion question on the line, it would be an understatement to call this an unusual and historic case. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)

of internal Fox communications — as well as the network’s apparent appetite to fight the case, nonetheless. The most surprising thing about the dispute so far may be that it’s going to trial at all.

It’s an understatement to call this an unusual case, including for the sheer volume of powerful evidence that Dominion has amassed. In fact, that unusually strong evidence has put Dominion in an unusually strong legal position ahead of the trial. When I wrote above that there’s no question Fox News aired false claims, that’s not my opinion. That’s according to a pretrial ruling from Judge Eric Davis, who’s overseeing this civil case.

clear that none of the statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true.” But he said there’s enough of a dispute over the narrower actual malice question to go to a jury, along with questions over the involvement of Fox News' parent company, Fox Corporation, in publishing false statements and whether Dominion incurred damages. So even if the voting machine company wins, that doesn’t automatically mean it will reap an eye-popping sum.

But what’s Fox’s defense? Given how legally hobbled it is by Davis’ pretrial rulings, it will be interesting to see how the defense handles a jury that’s about to be bombarded with reams of damning evidence — at least Dominion hopes so. Defense lawyers may therefore need to lean in to that generally hard-to-prove actual malice standard.

How is that nobody from a corporate media company ever noticed Clarence jetting around the world like a pop star They do go to the same rich people’s enclaves

You sure attract the Russian trolls msnbc.

Hope you fake news MSNBC is next for covering for the Biden crime family for years and still doing it, at least Fox news does ALL the news Americans need to hear!! Maybe your viewers should learn how to GOOGLE !!!!

MSNBC has lied to you about the Russia collusion hoax, Trump's tax returns, Russian bounties on the US military, the Steele dossier, the racist border guards whipping Haitians, and the Biden laptop being Russian disinformation? Who believes any of the BS from this network?

All these thugs you see running around in these blue states, destroying and looting these cites come from democrat homes.

Hope fake news MSNBC is next in court,you people are the worse when it comes to lying!!!

The Blind main scheme media merely the propaganda arm of the demon democrats.

Stop putting news next to fox………lies might be a better fit

Oh 🆗

The Democrat party that enjoys MSDNC propaganda. BTW, anything on Biden you can report? He's the guy that you forgot was POTUS. 🤡💩🤔

Leftoids have feelings?🍼👶🤡🌏

Why not report on your own defamation cases? Why are you so silent on all those? Fox isn't the lone ranger here.

If MSNBC reports it, then it must be true. 😉

Dominion doesn't have any lobbyists but yet have over 80% of all electronic voting? They ran their initial test in Venezuela? This doesn't even pass the smell test. It's too quiet which usually means big money is suppressing it. Anything IT related always has a back door.

When do you losers go to court on all the BS you spewed during Trump term

Is MSDNC real news?

19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20 and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, Acts 3

How about CNN

Expose Fox News! Put Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham on the stand!DominionDoNotSettle

MSNBC talking about defamation. 😂😂

Respond with a lawsuit on the most recent elections? How about a class action suit? How would that play? But make it a last priority! First come out with the truth about AI and much more! Otherwise, it is all part of an uncover plot by now!

90% of all Americans get their news from Fox. They’re not going anywhere.

It should be televised!!! We the people have a huge vested interest in the outcome. Broadcast it please.

I'm so TIRED of people saying mere proportional defense against preposterous excess is unprecedented or historic or radical. The suit is only incidentally big. It responds to historic lies by Fox. Trump claims cases against him him unprecedented when his number of crimes is.

Fox Propaganda ,............not News
