A settlement has been reached in the historic defamation case between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems

“The parties have resolved their case,” Superior Court Judge Eric Davis said. “Your presence here… was extremely important. And without you, the parties would not have been able to resolve their situation,” the judge told the jurors, before dismissing them. The settlement between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems totals $787,500,000, according to Dominion attorney Justin Nelson. The settlement represents “vindication and accountability,” Nelson said in a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

But top anchors at the right-wing talk channel will not be required as part of the settlement to acknowledge the lies broadcast in the wake of the 2020 election on air. The settlement was apparently brokered while the trial was on the brink of opening statements in Wilmington, Delaware. After swearing in the jury earlier Tuesday, an unexplained hours-long delay paused proceedings in court, which yet again triggered rampant speculation that a deal was quietly in the works.

Fox will earn it back with sponsorships and viewers in a jiffy.

admission of guilt by paying almost 800 million is far more damming than going through a trial.

When's the hunter deal get done more money from Ireland now

FoxFakeNewsPaysForItsLies To pay millions to cover one's lies is one thing but to keep on lying is white privilege of the radicalized bigots, fascists, hypocrites who will keep lying to their gullible audience who don't know better

Yikes! Wait...what? 😵

WHY didn't Dominion make them run a chyron or make degenerates Tucker and Hannity have to say something at the beginning of every show for a month straight about their lies?

It's unfortunate we won't have a trial and hear the truth but rhe settlement for $787.5M tells the whole story, they know they can lose a lot more in a trial.

Soon Fox News to be rebranded Truth Media

And CNN has also lost tons of Suits.

The Fox Settlement was a deep state narrative to boost the legitimacy of current elections 1.5 years before the 2024 election cycle.. thus giving all parties invested in the system 'ammo' to use in claiming election fraud has been debunked.

Biden should immediately withdraw all Dominions contracts Dominion took Murdochs dark money .. the very person who is orchestrating the overthrow of Democracy itself.The world is watching the USA more than ever

Dominion should have been going the whole way in court to serve democracy and public accountability instead of only going to being payed and getting the money. Too easy for the Fox-liars!

Dominion should never be allowed to provide USA voting machines .Dominion shook the dark hand of evil for money.They settled with Murdoch and his conspirators ,those who subverted justice itself and attempted to overthrow American democracy.Dominion cannot be trusted

Fox does not have to admit to its viewers that they lied to them but had to pay up. Fox still faces other lawsuits over its lies.

I wanted to see with everything happening in the world, would CNN front page be about Fox network, and of course it was, reaffirms my sentiments that CNN is a gossip network and no longer a real news network. Sad for all Americans looking for bias journalism.

VashH3 ☹️

How much did cnn pay nick sandmann for destroying his character? That was also settled. Just asking

Too Easy, he played his part in the weeks before Jan 6 Riots, n he got away with it, just like the phone tapping, you can Buy your way out of Jail.

This is extremely disappointing. If they weren't forced to admit they knowingly spread lies then I don't understand what the point of this was

Nice try, but the Dems still lost the House despite cheating Dominion systems.

This is very disappointing!!!

Dominion were worried they would lose their case. FOX should NOT have caved. No election on the US can be trusted after 2020

And yet Fox will still smoke CNN in the ratings

Still waiting on: Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell & Mike Lindell

Confirming that Fox News was guilty and would rather spend a billion dollars than have all their lies in the spotlight.

What does dominionvoting have on these judges

Fox News more like Fake News. Why settled expose what they did. Taking the settle they have now made sure it’s never disgust the truth can’t be exposed

In Antrim county Michigan 3000 Trump votes went to biden how many more counties are there that didn't catch the fix

They should have been made to admit guilt on every show every night for a month! Dominion took the $$$ and ran!

dominionvoting has shown this was not about integrity; it was about making a buck. No apology from Fox, no on-air admissions, just a paycheck that will be forgotten by the public and discounted by Fox viewers who'll never even know. Dominion let Democracy down. dominion

We still love FOX NEWS

The Communist News Network pretending that Sandman doesn't own em 🤣

Well CNN went along with the 'Hunter laptop is disinformation' lie. 🤡 CNN can't be trusted any more than any other media. None of the big names are unbiased or terrific.

Ironic that CNN is dancing on FoxNews grave-for-the-day. Both entities have no journalistic integrity. birdsofafeather

Bottom line, Faux settled because no way were they going to allow their top execs and anchors to be put on the stand. They would have been mauled.

aaah poor CNN not enough Blatts to support their vision. This will happen when you are blind !

FoxNews just paid $750 million to keep its viewers ignorant. Think about that. FoxNews “Fox News will not have to acknowledge on air that it told election lies about Dominion Voting Systems as part of the terms of its settlement, a representative for Dominion told CNN.”

It seems that media companies have been settling numerous defamation lawsuits over the past several years. No wonder we don’t trust the media.

Same CNN that say there are only 78 murders in 2022 yet according to the official records the numbers were 433 murders reported in 2022 compared to 488 in 2021

No way Fox wanted this to go to trial. Think about the circus it would have been. And Dominion couldn't walk away from that figure. It's at least 10x the value of the whole company. Anyone of us would have taken the money.

I’ve never voted or formed an opinion by things I hear and see on any news station. I form my own opinion and happen to enjoy Fox News!

Liberals with FDS (Fox Derangement Syndrome) right now:

Chump change amongst the 1%ers. Musk flushed $44 billion down the toilet for fun. They will be lining up to give money to fox/murdoch to cover these and any future settlements. Without public admission of their lying, and/or government intervention, this will go down as a blip.

Good luck with Kyle Rittenhouse

Fox threw in the towel? Yep

I had empathy & respect for Dominion until today! Oh well it was about money anyway how sad!

Now discuss the settlement you paid to Kyle Rittenhouse.

They shouldn’t have settled. Shame on dominionvoting.

Fox News agrees to pay $787.5 million in defamation case and acknowledges some of its on-air claims about Dominion were false. Follow live updates.

This a loss for democracy and the truth. People need to know how craven, depraved, and guilty Murdoch was in all of this.

Money always wins

You gotta know when to hold em, and know when to fold em. Even Fox News legal representatives have enough sense to follow that directive.

Fox 新闻造谣的代价:$787,500,000

So public doesn’t get to hear the truth.

Above the law

Shame these high profile cases didn't make it courts,

Shame. Taking the coward's way out.

Murdoch parasites woild rather pay near a billion dollars than face sunlight on their activities. Let that sink in.

nooooooooo. say it isn't so Dominion. I hope some statement of fault/lies is demanded besides just money. sell outs

Lies on top of lies...

Money talks, exceptionally disappointing

$800m — LOL

Now watch dear leader orange mush come out and tell every lie he knows on repeat…this was a historic moment when justice and truth could have been served up to light…now we get Tucker’s twisted face deny everything and go right back to poisoning America…kinda sad

You know FN will cover their tracks better next time. They will 'probably' continue to lie for the 'green' $$$.

Is this the same CNN that settled a defamation lawsuit by Nick Sandman?

What if FoxNews continues to lie about the election?

Disappointed..I was looking forward to full on trial

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!

Throw some money…and it’s all good…Dominion wins…America loses

THEIR WAS SO MUCH SHIT THEIR DID NOT WANT OUT….

If dominion was so certain of their case against Fox, I’m confused as to why they would settle

Of course they did.

Cnn your day is coming don’t goat

The terms should’ve been that they have to fire Sean Hannity into Tucker, Carlson

It was expected.

Too bad the public won’t know

😆

Hope they put in a not allow to talk shit about them clause then next election they can actually change all the votes and Fox can't say a word. Mwahahahhaaaa

Fox news covering that Dominion presser about the settlement like 👇😂

Awwwe, CNN had to pay up 275 million. How much does Fox have to pay.

Hope someone at the DOJ or a class action attorney takes this and runs with it on behalf of the people who were lied to.

That sucks. The trial should have destroyed Fox News

I just hope the lawyers don't get the bulk of this settlement because Dominion was the one harmed not the lawyers!

6 months this will all be forgotten forever

dominionvoting BENT the KNEE in favor of Benjamins ..

Guess what fox is still here. Oh so sorry Dominican had hurt feelings.

calm down Fake News outlet, remember him N1ckSandmann

Dems create race wars... 100s of black youth mob, burn, loot in DT Chicago... Chase white woman, and beat the Fuc out of her!

Typical cnn lying and name calling, can't ever just report facts, your personal bs should not be allowed

$1.00 one dollar.

So what was the point to all this if it wasn’t going to trial?

And they still kicking your ass in ratings

CNN still thinking they are a news outlet lol

A SETTLEMENT Jesus Christ this would've been a big win for society but even this is JUST about money. Sads.

This is disappointing.

The judge should have told the jurors 'Sorry for wasting your time with this performance.' There was never going to be any legal decision made because any decision made in this court would have impacted all news media. Just some fun and games for ratings.

Now It's up to American Public to start a class lawsuit!

Wow! Nothing biased in THIS reporting. 🤨

Does it involve fox news having to apologize on air every hour for a Month? Admit guilt? And pay lots of money? Otherwise what’s the point?

BS ! They should not have settled. Should have forced Fox News to testify so everyone could see the crap that company produces

Simpsons memes. That's what Fox had in defence.

Highly disappointing..

Fox. Showing once again how big of cowards they are.

Gag order with settlement so Fox can move on to the next Big Lie? What a disappointment that fascist propaganda megaphone will continue to wail.

What a shame, so disappointing.

ANOTHER SELL OUT! what is wrong with Dominion Thought you had a good case? Unbelievable! The people have a right to know how they lied. You went against us!

Well, I guess what they say is true…money talks…etc, etc. this saves Fox from having to openly admit in open court that they lied to keep the rubes on the hook.

Maybe Fox won't be able to afford its 'anchors' anymore? Here's hoping

Ha ha cope

Fox viewers now will ignore this and say that DOMINION was the one to settle because THEY were lying.

The money was too much for Dominion to ignore, is my guess.

Murdoch. Pecker. Trump. Musk. They all use disinformation to make a buck. But the buck never stops with them when things go awry. Dominion can demonstrate ‘catch and kill' by holding Murdoch & Co accountable and have them admit that they’re a one big disinformation machine.

I know CNN is 💔right now🤣🤣🤣

So Fox News actually won, unless you can prove otherwise

How dare you guys keep attacking Fox for lying when you guys lied for 4 years about the Russia hoax. Fox still has more viewers then CNN. That’s why many of your hosts were fired for lieing and still lieing and covering up for Biden. You are Hipocrits

Dominion messed up. They needed to make these fuckers testify in open court for the world too see!

Let’s hope they make Fox change its name from “News” to “Opinion” to reflect what is actually broadcast on that channel

IT COSTS TO PLAY THE FOOL.

lmao!!! they wanted to do nothing but cause a distraction. they knew the truth would vindicate our realpresidentdonaldjTrump. not the fake ass one we have now wanting to lick the world like ice cream or kids.

Kind of a bummer if a media company can pay what is presumably an ungodly amount of money to get away with blatant election tampering and misinformation

There's still the Smartmatic case.

When they say “It’s not about the money”…it’s about the money…

This is extremely awesome

Terrible unless the terms involve Fox telling their viewers they lied at the top of every hour for at least a 2 year period

Accountability no longer exists in this country.

We will never know the terms

Thanks for nothing Dominion

Disappointed in Dominion Voting Systems. This was an opportunity for the lies of Fox News to be exposed.

FoxNews got scared, huh. Good for you dominionvoting.

No accountability. The shit show from Fox will continue. Money corrupts. Isn’t that right dominionvoting ?
