Weren't some clowns here still spouting "big guy gets 10" because they bought into this poverty conspiracy? Whatever happened to the Durham report?
Dominion Voting sues Fox for $1.6B over 2020 election claims
- Thread starter Cuddles
- Start date
I think this crazy broad actually believed it. Lawyers have a responsibility to their client (in this case Powell) so they likely pressured her into putting down the tinfoil.

Dominion Defamation Suit Against Fox Can Move Forward
- Fox had enough information to know claims false, judge says
- Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson also targets of lawsuit
Fox News probably had enough information after the 2020 presidential election to know a conspiracy theory claiming Dominion Voting Systems Inc. rigged the contest was false, a judge said in denying the network’s request to dismiss a defamation lawsuit.
Delaware state court Judge Eric M. Davis on Thursday ruled Dominion had presented enough factual allegations against Fox for the $1.6 billion lawsuit to proceed. “Fox possessed countervailing evidence of election fraud from the Department of Justice, election experts, and Dominion at the time it had been making its statements,” the judge wrote. “The fact that, despite this evidence, Fox continued to publish its allegations against Dominion, suggests Fox knew the allegations were probably false.”"
Leaked email shows 'anguished' Fox News producer begged to keep Jeanine Pirro off the air over election lies
https://www.rawstory.com/jeanine-pirro-fox-news-2658150477/
A newly unearthed email shows that an unidentified Fox News producer frantically tried to get the network to keep host Jeanine Pirro off the air for pushing false claims about Dominion Voting Systems stealing the 2020 election for President Joe Biden.
NPR, which obtained a copy of the email and verified its authenticity with two sources, reports that the "anguished" email was sent by an unnamed Fox News producer in November 2020, and it objected to Pirro pushing claims that Dominion's voting machines supposedly "flipped" votes from Trump to Biden.
"The producer warned: Fox cannot let host Jeanine Pirro back on the air," writes NPR. "She is pulling conspiracy theories from dark corners of the Web to justify then-President Donald Trump's lies that the election had been stolen from him."
The warning would prove prescient, as Fox News and other right-wing media organizations are now facing massive defamation lawsuits filed by Dominion over the false claims made about the 2020 election.
In fact, NPR notes that the email is now being used by Dominion's attorneys as proof that Fox News acted with malice by allowing its hosts to stay on the air to push baseless conspiracy theories about its voting machines.
Dominion argues it has suffered irreparable harm as a result of these conspiracy theories and has already had multiple contracts canceled by lawmakers who have bought into Trump's false claims about the 2020 election.

So Ocho, what happens to defamation guidelines once this slam dunk case ultimately lands at SCOTUS and the bought & paid for bench inevitably sides w/fox? Do we just cease to have libel & slander laws in this country?
Just a reminder:
On December 5, 2019, Karen McDougal, an American model and one-time Playboy magazine Playmate who has an affair with Trump in 2006 to 2007, filed a defamation lawsuit against the television network Fox News. According to the suit, network anchor Tucker Carlson defamed McDougal by saying that she had personally extorted Trump for the hush money she received in 2016, a claim she denied.[13] On September 24, 2020, Vyskocil dismissed the defamation lawsuit, writing that, "The statements are rhetorical hyperbole and opinion commentary intended to frame a political debate, and, as such, are not actionable as defamation". The judge added that the "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.'"[14][15]
Mary Kay Vyskocil (born March 22, 1958) is a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and a former United States Bankruptcy Judge for the same court. President Donald Trump nominated her to the district bench in 2018 and again in 2019, and she was confirmed in 2019.

Scary bullshit hypocrisy in their News or journalism of the news.
Fox will most likely settle the lawsuit and then hope it if quietly forgotten by its viewers.
