They have them by the balls two different ways, the suit and their audience finding shit out and probably wanting to kill Tucker! A higher court could overturn the decision or cut the amount awarded, especially for punitive damages and a jury would have broken their backs with that!

On-air claims about Dominion Voting Systems were false, Fox News says in statement
From CNN's Jon Passantino
Fox News has issued a statement on its settlement with Dominion Voting Systems acknowledging that some of the right-wing network's on-air statements about Dominion were false.
“We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects FOX’s continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues," the statement said.

They have very deep pockets and Dominion has a very firm grip on their balls and is about to rip them off. 1.6 billion in damages and punitive is on top of that and when the jury finds out they were fucking America too, the sky is the fucking limit! Some shareholders can't be happy with Rupert, how many billion do you think they settled for? I think for a lot of dollars, because if a jury got hold of it and it wasn't overturned on appeal, Rupert would be buried in a barrel. Their fans would go ballistic, or enough of them that it would to be a threat to their personal safety, they have many lunatic viewers.

Fox News's peak quarterly revenue was $4.6B in 2023(q2). Fox News peak revenue was $14.0B in 2022. Fox News annual revenue for 2022 was $14.0B, a 8.25% growth from 2021.

That is some bullshit - write off a few houses , yachts and Pirro’s Bar tab and payout quietly , all while continuing with the smoke and mirrors.
 

A last-second settlement has been reached in the historic defamation case between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems, the parties announced Tuesday in court.

“The parties have resolved their case,” Superior Court Judge Eric Davis said.

“Your presence here… was extremely important. And without you, the parties would not have been able to resolve their situation,” the judge told the jurors, before dismissing them.

The settlement between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems totals $787,500,000, according to Dominion attorney Justin Nelson.

The settlement represents “vindication and accountability,” Nelson said in a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

“We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems,” Fox News said in a statement. “We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects FOX’s continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.”

“Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage to my company, our employees, and the customers that we serve,” John Poulos, the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems, said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. “Nothing can ever make up for that.”

“I cannot thank the election officials that we serve enough. Without them, there is no democracy,” he added.

The settlement was apparently brokered while the trial was on the brink of opening statements in Wilmington, Delaware. After swearing in the jury earlier Tuesday, an unexplained hours-long delay paused proceedings in court, which yet again triggered rampant speculation that a deal was quietly in the works.

The last-minute deal means the closely watched case is effectively over and won’t proceed to trial. By settling with Dominion, influential Fox News executives and prominent on-air personalities will be spared from testifying about their 2020 election coverage, which was filled with lies about voter fraud.

In its lawsuit, Dominion sought $1.6 billion in damages from Fox News. The right-wing network argued vociferously in pretrial proceedings that this number was inflated and didn’t come close to accurately capturing the potential losses that Dominion could have suffered as a result of Fox’s 2020 broadcasts.

Fox News and Fox Corporation – its parent company, which was also a defendant – say they never defamed Dominion, and say the case is a meritless assault on press freedoms. They denied Dominion’s claim that they promoted these election conspiracies to save their falling ratings after the 2020 election.

While the Dominion case is now over, Fox News is still facing a second major defamation lawsuit from Smartmatic, another voting technology company that was smeared on Fox shows after the 2020 election. That case is still in the discovery process, and a trial isn’t expected anytime soon.

Dominion Voting Systems still has pending lawsuits against right-wing networks Newsmax and OAN, as well as against Trump allies Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell.

All of these parties and entities deny wrongdoing and are fighting the lawsuits.

They didn't want to roll the dice on a trial and settlement, it could be cut on appeal or capped. I thought for sure it would be worth more to foxnews, but it is a pretty good payday and more coming for others. I think the true importance is it would likely trigger hearings in congress, if the democrats win in 24.
