Fake elector hoax, i could go on and on and on and on. Fox had reported accurately on everything above and still today is one of the best sources of news. these liberals know litterally nothign because they watch some of the biggest morons and they think because fox has a conservative viewpoint they must traffic in lies and outragous propaganda like msnbc.

It's a bit like that case where the only evidence was a written document produced at the last minute that was allegedly decades old.

Remember CNN talked about unsafe voting in 2016 and Steven Colbert did a full episode on those voting machines around the same time saying what tucker said recently but claiming if caused Trump to win. I would argue there is not enough clear info to determine real truth. Both media sides claim the other lies. Any time people are censored in such a way is a crime in my book. But fox is a business and trials are not about truth but perception. The determining factor as to weather fox would win or loose is almost entirely on the political leanings of the jury.

I think it was actually because of a discrimination suit, but I heard Tucker Carlson was going on about how some Trump supporters were actually undercover FBI agents and that they directly incited people on Jan. 6 and "intentionally entrapped" American citizens. He's refusing to back down on those claims despite there not even being a shred of evidence of it, and the arguments with management became an absolute s***show, so maybe Fox decided to cut him loose because they fear he might drag them into another Dominion suit on top of the by-this-point caustic relationship between him and the executives.

[@SN1PEZ_YT_TTV]

It is the easiest way to get fox to admit guilt, and it is also a good way to get some cash out of it.

[@fos1451]

Their company only worth 100 million dollars, imagine getting CASH of 8x of what your company is worth, it’s guaranteed easy fast money. Furthermore, they get no benefit to see fox getting humiliated. Thankfully though smartmatic has claimed that if it wants to settle with fox, it will only accept it “only if Fox News makes a “full retraction” and “apology” and pays out more than the $787m settlement it has agreed to pay Dominion”

[@Bobbias]

While it's nice to see Fox pay, this is still far too little, and far too late. Fox has done so much damage to the public that they should cease to exist as a network.

Yup, this is just a line item for them, just the cost of doing business. Allowing them to pay a fine ensures nothing will change.

[@MarkFin9423]

Oh please, fox was always going to fool people who watch them religiously. No, the damage came from big tech giants who thought it was a good idea to silence, demonitize, and ban people from the platform for simply wanting to ask questions. Sure, when it comes to high profile fraud claims of this degree it's not like any evidence is going to be good enough as it could be speculated as forgery whether that's bias or cynicism. However, Surprise! A platform forcing people to stop talking about it only galvanizes people skeptical or tin foil hat?! Oh geez who didn't see that coming!

[@Phoenix-ej2sh]

The thing I found striking was how, in all of those texts, no one at Fox ever seemed the slightest bit concerned about the truth. Even behind closed doors, I harbored some naïve thought that they were ever the slightest bit concerned, as a news organization, of, you know, the goddamn motherfucking TRUTH.

[@Lowlightt]

[@Lord_of_Dread]

@@BKNeifert No one is loosing freedom. Fox is simply learning that actions have consequences. In civilised countries, Fox would have been shut down for constantly lying decades ago. But Republicans knew they had to rig the game ahead of time, and Reagan made sure that companies like Fox aren't made to meet the minimum editorial standards like in civilised western nations. It's only because america is so primitive and has already been raped by republicans of the past that this is even possible. You're getting a little taste of a new freedom that we enjoy in civilised countries; the freedom to not be subjugated to false information by organisations pretending it's true. What a great freedom.

785.5 million dollars is a lot of accountable.

[@Pushing_Pixels]

They have no one to blame but themselves for losing viewers. Decades of cultivating an audience indifferent to facts, who only want to hear what reinforces their existing views, and who think they are at war with everybody outside their political tribe, means they cannot hold on to authority when they contradict those narratives, even when they're telling the truth. The audience only trusts Fox as long as they are stroking their egos and giving them those rage-adrenaline hits they're now addicted to. There are plenty of other people willing to do that these days. With very little credibility as a news organisation outside the "Conservative" space they will struggle to win new converts to their brand. They and their far-right competition are now locked in a struggle for a limited audience, and I believe, unfortunately, that this will lead to a race to the bottom between those media groups, with each trying to outdo each other to see who can be more extremist. I know Murdoch has no qualms about engaging in such race.

[@nemilyk]

It seems like the $787.5mill wasn't the only thing in the settlement; starting to look like some house-cleaning on Fox's part might have been involved as well.

[@macmcleod1188]

They are not firing Murdoch so the fundamental problem remains. Even Tucker- as bad as he was- was acting under Murdoch's orders.

[@nemilyk]

@@macmcleod1188 Man, people seem to be all about putting words in my mouth today anywhere I comment on this... Did I say it was going to change anything? No. I know a lot of others *are* saying that, but I'm not. My point is just that "house-cleaning" appears to be involved at Fox as part of the settling this lawsuit. And Carlson makes the most sense objectively for Fox to axe. He *is* their biggest money draw, but based on other texts by Carlson criticizing Fox's admin, he was clearly starting to think he ran the show. Would firing Hannity or Bartiromo bring Tucker to heel? No. But you shitcan Carlson? Everyone else is going to remember who's the actual boss again. At the same time, this will give Fox faux credibility going into the upcoming Smartmatic suit that they are "turning over a new leaf" that might pressure Smartmatic into settling that suit as well just as in this Dominion suit. It should also get rid of some of the other suits against Fox because of Carlson, like I think there's a discrimination/harassment suit against him as well. This likely gets Fox out of that as well. So no, Fox is not going to stop being absolutely terrible, but them getting rid of Carlson now does make sense.
