🤣

Jury trial! Make it happen.

‘Ready to defend’ == ‘To whom do I make out the check?’

Changing the name Fox News to Fox Laughing Stock.

Fake news.

I think this is good that it happened but Dominion better be very upstanding with their voting machines. Should something happen that Dominion is at fault they might have to return all monies they received with interest.

NBC said Dominion voting machines could easily be hacked as proven by experts.

Throw these machines away! Go back to paper

Ready. Keep that checkbook handy!

They didn’t defend themselves in the first one. Just a quick payoff to end it

Smartmatic needs to go for all the blood and public humiliation they can!! Decapitate and obliterate the FoxNews organization and relegate them to the annuls of history in the grotesquely pathetic, woefully shameful light they deserve!

Free your mind and read 'WHITE LIE' by Moses smith found only Amazon books

'Ready to defend'...getting the checkbook out again.

And lose

Should’ve never settled

Paying three quarters of a billion dollars is defending yourself?

Smartmatic needs to take Fox behind the proverbial woodshed.

Hope so, more are coming than just one Fox

corruption

FY, FOX

They’ll be prepared with another 787 million dollars because they’re guilty

Pox will be ready to defend by praying for a corrupt, dishonest Trumpjudge, withholding evidence during discovery, and—eventually, after it thinks the rest of us have forgotten—settling. Smartmatic has a stronger case. And the rest of us will NOT have forgotten,

Ready to pay another 700 millions.

Definition of insanity.

Get ready Mainstream Mockingbird Media, the precedent has been set. Lying to the American people

How are they allowed to continue to call themselves news? More incredibly, they are the ones calling everybody else fake news.

Watch Smartmatic fold like a house of cards as soon as FOX flashes some cash.

I hope they go broke.

Because they can’t use this new lawsuit as a tax right off. It will actually hurt them

They got the secrets 🤭 shhhhh.

Bring it on hope the pay another 3/4 of a billion

Be curious to see it changes their reporting at all instead of making blatantly false lies knowing they’ll be sued and have outcomes like this.I’m sure that answer is no, but curious is it changes at all

Fox News is all fake news

Defending? With what? Another ≥ $750 million?
