Nothing says innocence like paying out $787.5 M 👌

[@jeffjohnson5053]

Under useless democrats, inflation at 500 percent, gas $6 per gallon, rent $300 percent increase. Stock market drops 15,000 points each week. Who is losing?? Duhhhh!! The facts are dominion is MADE IN CHINA voting machines and software created by Beijing China!! Shame on you for supporting beijing and democrats!! Shame on you!! I DO watch Asian news from Asia. Phillippines, Vietnam, Taiwan all purchased Dominion voting machines and all have experienced the same issues of votes being changed. They all removed dominion from their government systems. But, only in America where crinimals dominion can sue the victim Fox and win. Only in America!! Walmart, Bank of America, Target stores all gets sued every 2 minutes. They often pay off the evil crinimals, since it is still much cheaper to pay off the crinimals, than to go to trial. Shame on you evil liberals for supporting MADE IN CHINA dominion voting machines!

[@cdean2789]

They admitted the lies.

[@jonpmatthews8909]

Not necessarily. Fox could be right about their claims, but without undeniable evidence, which nobody has considering it was a snakey situation, it’s much easier to settle and saves millions

[@jcmcnaughton8121]

Common sense would dictate this is a farce. Its a known FACT (since 2006) that Dominion has a weighted Race feature that CAN TAMPER WITH VOTE COUNT. IT'S A FACT THAT LIBERALS, DEMOCRAPS, SOROS & CCP are all invested in Dominion. This is sleight of hand theatrics to silence opposition. To date there has still been no large scale investigation. The few states that did do them showed massive voter fraud. If it was a fair honest election there would've been an immediate, transparent recount ALLOWED BY THE CONSTITUTION. Instead democraps blocked, stalled, destroyed evidence & obstructed for 2years.

[@dmercury292]

Why would they settle? They could have made three times of the amount in damages. Smartmatic please don’t settle.

[@Hello-xp5wz]

There was no guarantee they would win. Had they won, Fox could have appealed. This could have dragged on for years. $785 million today is worth more than 1.6 billion never.

It will be interesting to see what Smartmatic will do. Dominion still has a suite against Mike Lyndell, who says he's bankrupt. Fox will have more suites in it's future.

[@tomthomas5793]

A lot of people are upset about the Dominion/Fox settlement, but let’s be honest (something Fox isn’t): Would YOU turn down $787,500,000? If you really want to stop Fox from spreading lies and hate, I recommend you contact their advertisers (easily Googled) and tell them you’re going to boycott their products/services, until they stop giving Fox money.

[@ismaelibrahem1015]

They should pay more plus prison time for life.

[@lynnecarroll9953]

Didn't you watch the article about a man who bought a machine and hacked it. What about arresting fouching for killing millions of people? And then giving seven to nine million dollars to the Wuhan lab.. AKA want to be modern Hitler

[@hansoll5126]

It looks like Fox will be raising the advertisers fees rather soon. LOL

[@privacyvalued4134]

I believe Fox's official tepid public announcement should automatically reopen the case. From what I understand, they are obligated to, under the settlement, directly admit that they lied about Dominion since Dominion wouldn't agree to settle for anything that didn't include open, public admission. Since they didn't do that, Dominion should file a complaint with the court that Fox has already not held up their end of the settlement agreement and that the case must be reopened.

[@nanodesu9031]

well boys part 2 is coming up since SMARTMATIC is also targeting fox and boy, they are asking far greater damages than Dominion. I wonder if the company can survived lol
