Dominion may have more money, but they didn't clear their name. The lies will continue. They just won't be as blatant.

Was so hoping the case goes to trial and expose fox for who they really are. fox and their media personalities don't even have to apologize or retract any statements. what the hell! i get it, they just made 800 million. even if they won the case, fox would have appealed till 2030. then, it's possible some judge might have reduced the amount. still, they should have made fox apologize, on air for a month.

They're as soulless as redheads and twice as crafty

If it's any consolation, Dominion didn't exactly get $787 million. A third of that went to the lawyers.

But I 100% agree. Fox will go back to its prevaricating and Fox viewers are spared the daily headlines that their poor little minds would have to scramble to deny the truth about.

The crappy network will continue to spew lies and misinformation, they just won't be so stupid as to text and speak about it this time so they can hide behind the 2nd amendment again, like they tried to this time.

Aww, he's cute when he smiles!

But fuck Fox for wriggling out somehow from this, and shame on Dominion for letting them. Fox should have had to admit guilt and apologize.

I wonder if they might still be on the hook for sanctions, or if they negotiated away that claim?

Why wouldn’t they try to deceive and muddy up the truth about this, too?

And I’m sure that’s what they’ll keep on telling themselves and their gullible viewers.

for being a lying fake news organization, and anyway, the embarrassing presence of nepotism-baby Pete Doocey lowers the bar of ethics in the press room. Treat Pete like he has cooties.
