Given they nearly started a war with the lies, I agree. Tuesday April 18th breaking this lawsuit has been settled with Fox admitting they lied and agreeing to pay $787.5 million of the 1.6 billion asked just under half roughly. Details of communication between Carlson, Hannity, Ingram and others show they knew the claims advanced by Powell, Lindell and others were lies but chose to present them as true for the sake of ratings and stock prices. The above Fox hosts indicated that if they did not repeat the lies about a stolen election, they would lose viewers who would go to Newsmax and OAN who were eagerly repeating them.
