Fox News has caved in and settled the $1.6 billion defamation case brought by Dominion Voting Systems. They will pay $787.5 million to Dominion.
All news outlets are reporting this except for the NY Post and Foxnews.com. The Wall Street Journal has posted a terse two paragraph story. Fox News’s Howard Kurtz just appeared on the network 20 minutes after all the other news networks. They are all owned by Rupert Murdoch.
Murdoch had to settle. He had to avoid a trial in which he would have to testify as well as his lying news anchors. There’s speculation that Dominion took $1 billion from Fox. Howard Kurtz just read a statement on Fox News that didn’t sound very conciliatory.
Huge success for foes of Fox News. More to come..
