The Dominion v Fox suit is on tap for today, though it sounds like maybe a settlement is in the works. So it really is about the money, as always. It’s not about company pride or libel or whatever—it’s just making sure the settlement is big enough to make people happy, and small enough to avoid bankruptcy.
What I wonder is if a settlement is expected to make the whole thing go away. Like it never happened? Like Fox News can just get on with its paranoid, alternate universe approach to news?
The powers that be at Fox were so worried about market share they just made stuff up and tried to drag a reputable company through the mud in the process.
So that’s journalism? Find another word.
