Well in the case of FOX, it was an out of court settlement in lieu of a jury verdict. OANN had to settle out of court too because it knew it would lose. In the case of your blob, he rode the bus to court and got walloped.
The “inconvenient truth” for the right is that you guys are nothing but conspiracy theorists now. Any semblance to republicans wanting to govern as our founders envisioned it, pass legislation via compromise, promote the general welfare, etc... is long gone. Now, for republicans, its about nothing but tearing down the government as much as you can. Nobody is really sure why you guys have made this odd turn into anarchist. My suspicion is that you enjoy inflicting pain on others--kids who never grew up are often like that. Malformed offspring don’t usually have any power. Trump makes you guys laugh and rationalizes your mental deficiencies as positives so you love him for it. Effective governance is a distant second (if it’s even second at all).
