Lies will cost Fox News dearly in Dominion settlement


Though the final settlement number was for roughly half the lawsuit’s original ask, Fox News’ payment of $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems is the largest publicly known defamation settlement in U.S. history involving a media company. The network is currently facing other lawsuits that will keep it occupied for some time: There’s a $2.7 billion suit brought by another voting technology company called Smartmatic, and a former Fox News producer has filed two suits against the network.
