Dominion Lawsuit against FoxNews
- Thread starter dpic73

I think that's probably a smart idea. It strips Fox News of the ability to spin this as a cash grab. My God this is going to be so gratifying. Schadenfreude thy name is okclem today.
This should still have a financial impact beyond the amount of the lawsuit because Fox is wholly dependent on carriage fees and don't need advertising at all to be profitable. This means when they try to jack up their rates, cable companies can leverage this moment to say they won't go along with the rate increase because they don't have to. Many people may not know that Fox's carriage fees are the second highest behind ESPN as part of their cable bill, whether they watch it or not. Fox is essentially boxed in.

JUST IN: Settlement has been reached in Fox-Dominion defamation case
Fox News will pay more than $787 million to Dominion Voting Systems after the sides hammered out a last-minute settlement Tuesday in the explosive defamation case launched against the right-wing network.
So they settled for half - still a HUGE settlement! Sounds like they may have let them off the hook from admitting lying on the air but I love it that it cost them a fortune!Hmm

Why wasn't it bullshit in 2016 though? When folks like yourself couldn't fathom a guy like Trump actually winning i.......what's the material difference?
I have no idea what you're blathering about, but nobody claimed election fraud in 2016.

Going on three years now since this conspiracy theory started about Dominion and after them winning a 787 million dollar judgment for the lies told about them, your money is on a guy named KanekoatheGreat to have discovered something that no one else thought about til now? You keep getting worse Jake SMH
It does make ya wonder …. How much revenue does Fox News bring in anyways? I can’t imagine that the My Pillow guy and Rosland Capital commercials pay too many bills
Actually, advertisers have abandoned them in droves, but it hasn't hurt them because most of their money is made from cable carriage fees. The number I heard was they bring in roughly a billion in yearly revenue, most of it from these fees. There are 90 million cable customers and almost all of them are required to pay for a package that includes FoxNews, whether they want it or not and since their fees are the 2nd highest behind ESPN, they're making a killing. As far as the settlement money, I'm not sure but they may have insurance to cover it.
Albeit it wasn’t a very good one … but your reasonable and factual response ruined my joke … thanks.
This is why we can’t have nice things
LOL, I mean, the Pillow Guy is always good for a joke so my bad for not recognizing your attempt at making a funny. Maybe try a different delivery?Albeit it wasn’t a very good one … but your reasonable and factual response ruined my joke … thanks.
This is why we can’t have nice things
Not true. I see other channels including espn with dead air time during commercial breaks, but it never happens on Fox.

Guys. I was and am pissed at Fox due to them not covering election fraud adequately and thats a fact. Having a few guests on and letting them give an opinion for a very short window of time is not an endorsement from the network itself. Yall are off your little commie rockers. This is Fox paying them to go away and its that simple. Once again I am not a Fox fan either.
You don't pay someone nearly $800 million just to go away.
Lou is right. This settles nothing at all.

Political commentator and former television host Lou Dobbs said Monday that he was surprised to see Fox News settle in the recent lawsuit with Dominion.
"My reaction is, I was surprised to see them settle and to make agreements on a number of things," Dobbs told the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "But this is the course of settlements."
Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement Tuesday in a $1.6 billion defamation case against the cable news network.
Dominion argued that Fox defamed the company by knowingly allowing guests on their shows to peddle false accusations that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and that Dominion's voting machines were involved. Fox had contended that it was protected by the First Amendment and that the allegations against the company were newsworthy.
"I think it's good in one way to get this behind for Fox," Dobbs continued. "It is good for Dominion...And you know, we're now at least at a resolution. It was a tough time for the country."
Dobbs argued that it still had to be acknowledged that all the issues in 2020 were not settled.
"The suggestion that these issues are settled is to ignore the reality," he added. "And the reality is that three states with a total of 42,000 votes decided who the President was. Some of those states at this very moment are still very much in question by millions of people."
He said that there would be many questions about the 2020 election for years to come.
"It was, I think, the most tragic election in the country's history," stated Dobbs. "There will be many questions asked for a very, very long period of time. Unfortunately, the answer should have already been before the American people, but the federal government failed them. The court system failed them and that's my opinion."

When you talk about election meddling, you can’t forget what Dems did in 2020 by shamelessly burying the Hunter Biden laptop story via censorship and lies. It was one of the biggest “all hands on deck” flagrant abuses of power many of us have witnessed in a US election. Sadly, 2020 had a lot of shocking and disheartening moments like that.
However, the cherry on top of the left’s censorship sundae was when 51 former “top intel” officers signed a letter claiming Hunter’s laptop was “Russian disinformation” without even investigating the device. But when Hunter’s laptop was confirmed “real,” those bums clammed up real quick.

Unfortunately, it gets worse.
We’re now discovering the “Spies Who Lied” were actually Biden flunkies. Many of us realized this straight away, however, the media quickly brushed us off as unhinged “Q-kooks” and Russian bots.
Now, Matt Gaetz has stepped into the picture with what many call “irrefutable proof,” that Biden’s team did in fact orchestrate that infamous letter.

The fact is foxnews didn't believe what they were reporting and didn't want their show hosts to have to testify about it.
Says the guy who got fired from Fox for being one of the main reasons they got sued.Lou is right. This settles nothing at all.

They also knew Dominion had the goods and a guilty verdict was likely, which could have resulted in punitive damages as well. This was the cheaper, easier way out in the end.

I gotta ask. Is that really how you think it works on TV? When people pull their sponsorships it's just dead air during the time the commercial would have been running?
You don't really think that, right?
Yes y'all have been blustering about "bombshell proof" for 8 years now about one thing or another. Any time, at this point, would be a good time to "go scorched earth," as you put it.Never forget that we know the truth all you haters.

Is that the same as releasing the kraken? I need to know because I'm using the Trump party as inspiration to write a really awesome children's fantasy adventure book.

Did they accuse the deep stage of rigging the election and compromising Dominion voting machines?
No issue there. I like individual shows on Fox. Used to watch more.
