1. Absolutely disagree...

Dominion won't settle for simply cash, because without a public acknowledgement that Fox was lying, their voting machine brand will still be damaged and their ability to sell them in the US market will be impacted.

2. Exactly,

having Fox admit on air that it lied about Dominion is more important than the money to Dominion.

There will not be a settlement without public admissions of guilt, or Dominion is pretty stupid.

9. Sure hope you're right. Have been imagining Fox's court-ordered public

lata culpa that shall be presented personally by at least Bartiromo, Carlson, Hannity, and Pirro before they begin their programs -- for at least a week. It should require that they announce that the election was not fraudulent, that DJT lost and Biden was legitimately elected.

8. Yes, not to mention that the Smartmatic lawsuit is up next.

And, they're going for double what Dominion is asking. I'm sure Dominion will use that in their favor, as well. Lots of individuals lining up right behind them, too. All of them are going to demand a public acknowledgement of wrongdoing. And, not just some schlocky "Ooops! My bad!" crap, either.

3. I seem to recall dominion saying early on that they didn't want to just settle

[Separation]

21. Judge delayed trial today due to possible settlement

[Raven123]

4. Time will tell, but it seems to be about more than money when lives are threatened

[Liberal In Texas]

5. Dominion has said they ain't settling.

They have no incentive to settle. They've got everything going their way. They're even going to get the legal expenses paid for.

6. I agree with brooklynite

Why would Dominion settle if Fox will go on the air and continue to sow seeds of discord about the integrity of their voting machines?

A proper settlement would include all the cash, the jobs of those involved, and continued statements by Fox on air that every time they bring up the 2020 election they must also include the fact that they lied about it.

10. This company can't just take the money and go home if it wants to stay in business.

This is a case where Fox could go out of business or Dominion could go out of business. Going to trial might cause the former, but settling could bring about the latter. Winning would obviously be good for Dominion's business while settling could damage it long term. I think they can't really settle.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. Nope.

12. FAUX News is delaying... Typical

[lame54]

13. I'll know

[edisdead]

14. Oh, this is an opinion piece

[onenote]

15. uninformed opinion to boot.

[emulatorloo]

17. Yes, Pure Speculation.

[emulatorloo]

16. Dominion has said all along they won't settle. They want everything to come out in the trial.

[Fullduplexxx]

23. I remember them saying that too......nt

[Ms. Toad]

18. The court has already decided that issue.

The summary judgment determined that Fox News lied. There are only two issues being determined by this next phase: whether Fox News knew they were lies at the time they published them (or published them with reckless disregard for whether they were true), and assuming Dominion can prove the first, how much harm did those lies do (damages).

A settlement won't undo the existing summary judgment.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. I am still somewhat surprised that Fox did not settle this case earlier

[spanone]

20. Just an opinion?

everyone has one.

[H2O Man]

22. Doubt it like hell.
