Fox News $787.5 million lawsuit settlement: ‘Our viewers don’t want the truth’
Fox News paid $787.5 million to Dominion so their liars don’t have to testify in court over a lawsuit that called them out on their 2020 election lies. Looking at you, Rupert Murdoch, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson.
They don’t even have to confess their lies to their viewers. No problem. Fox viewers have no interest in the truth. They’ll never see this anyway.
$787.5 million is a lot of money. Almost enough to pay for an Alabama prison. Just sayin’ …

From the AP story: Fox and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement Tuesday in the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, averting a trial in a case that exposed how the top-rated network chased viewers by promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election.
An attorney for Dominion said the settlement was for $787.5 million.
“The truth matters. Lies have consequences,” said Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson in a news conference outside the courthouse after the announcement.
