Fox flinched and settled...all they lost was money. [View all]

Here's the only statement from Fox I've seen:

"We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false," the network said in a statement. "This settlement reflects FOX's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues."


They acknowledge certain claims, made day after day after day for many hours each day, over a period of years to be false? That's it? And that's supposed to reflect a commitment to the highest journalist standards? And undo the damage resulting from their lies?

Bullshit... Unadulterated bullshit.

Like Chris Hayes said, they settled in order to keep the primetime trio and Rupert off the witness seat, under oath telling their viewers they knew the 2020 election was fair and Biden won but they needed to keep their ratings up, journalistic standards be damned.

Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham will continue to spread their toxic propaganda same as always, as editorial opinions rather than provable facts. That's all they know how to do.

Wait and see if I ain't right.
