Fox was safe as long as they stuck to “The election was stolen“ lies
Once they went to “Dominion stole the election” they crossed the line and will pay Big League
They used to be much smarter. They would always end the comment with a question mark.
Don't say "Dominion machines were hacked".
Ask, "were Dominion Machines hacked?"
Did you see the texts from Fox on air celebrities who said, "Trump is going to get us in trouble"
And boy did he.
Now Fox is arguing they have a 1st amendment right to be LIARS
“There will be a lot of noise and confusion generated by Dominion and their opportunistic private equity owners, but the core of this case remains about freedom of the press and freedom of speech, which are fundamental rights afforded by the Constitution and protected by New York Times v. Sullivan,” Fox said in a statement issued Thursday.
Fox targeted Dominion’s private-equity owner in an unredacted counterclaim to Dominion’s request for $1.6 billion in damages, according to court papers filed Thursday, saying the firm “paid a small fraction of that amount” to acquire Dominion.
In court papers, Fox said the $1.6 billion figure “has no connection Dominion’s financial value as a company or any supposed injury it suffered as a result” of its reporting, and found no evidence in the discovery process that Dominion lost any contracts as a result.
“Dominion’s ten-figure damage claim demonstrates the danger that unfounded litigation poses to a free press. Threatening FNN with a $1.6 billion judgment will no doubt cause other media outlets to think twice before reporting allegations that are inconvenient to Dominion — and other companies,” Fox said in court papers.
