Dominion voting systems had sued Fox News for $1.6 billion, claiming defamation about statements surrounding the 2020 election outcome and Dominion voting systems. Today Dominion and Fox settled the lawsuit for $787 million.
The lawsuit itself is odd in that both the plaintiff and the defendant carried the same political motivation within it. As an outcome of ideology, Fox News wanted to cement the 2020 election as clear Biden victory, the same position as Dominion. The settlement provides that narrative to U.S. MSM corporate news. The same corporate news who pushed the fraudulent Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory, without accountability.
(VIA ABC) “Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion,” Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos said outside the courthouse following the announcement of a settlement. It was not immediately clear where this admission took place, beyond Fox’s statement that “We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false” — or whether Fox News had agreed to a more formal acknowledgement in a public way.

Fox News Says: “We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems,” Fox News officials said in a statement after an agreement had been reached. “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.
Both parties are on the same team.
Funny that….it all goes one direction.
I wonder if any money changes hands or if it does, it will be returned.
Lawfare will push that it is a guilty plea that Dominion and Smartmatic will cite when going after Powell and others.
you can almost smell the stench of a payoff on this one
Took the words out of my mouth.
This is how they are paying them for the steal and feeds the narrative of a secure election.
MSM: Manure Spreading Media
Fox didn’t want to expose any of the evidence of machine cheating, as that would defeat their entire narrative about 2020 being a free and fair election.
Yes!!!!
They need the cheating machines to continue in primaries and 2024 to cheat again!!!
Exactly.
“Sue us into silence, please!”
Of course it was always going to be settled out of court. How else could FOX and Dominion not admit to stealing the 2020 election and putting a Demented Fraud in the WH so his globalist puppet masters could destroy America
I only have 4 words to describe both entities.
“ Eat shit and die”
And they’re getting off the hook easy on that one.
LOVE^^^^^
And you thought it was just about “ENVELOPES”
“Its about who gets to count the vote”

Y E S !!!!!M!
They’ll all
eventually
end up
like Diane Feinstein and Joe Biden
~before
they end up like John McCain GHW Bush
As in Ded….? As a door nail?
Once PDJT became president again for the 3rd time. No more corporate tax cut.
Fox was underhandedly anti President Trump since The Escalator Ride. Beyond that I have no words to describe the weird, sick feeling I have about all this. Fox is fuct. Defund their asses.
owned by blackrock.
I like your handle.
Corporate owners: Blackrock 10.63%, Vanguard 16.33%, State Street 4.28%, Total 28.65
and yet, people still have their favorite little programs they watch on Fox.
And there’s the problem. If you can’t pull yourself away from TV THEN YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. Same with sports, etc. Our country is rotting from within with an ILLEGAL COUP running it and you’re watching TV. That’s the problem.
Tucker Carlson Tonight/Today and Specials are some of my favorites…
Tucker Carlson Smackdowns are absolutely amazing…
Tonight’s Tucker Carlson Smackdown was particularly satisfying…
Please stop.
I dislike Carson’s opening in particular and try never to hear it and only listen to him when no other source is available (like listening to the Musk interview, though now that I heard this one I won’t need to do it again).
Your repetitive Carlson posts have made me dislike him more and work harder to not accidentally hear anything he says. If you dislike Carlson and want to promote negativity about him, good job.
Your comment says so much more about you… than me or Tucker…
:)) Thank you!
Leftists so enjoy taunting cuckservatives. They assume we’re knuckle-dragging deplorables who hang on FAUX news every word.
For years I’ve told people I never listen to msm “news.” Their derisive comeback is always, “Do you watch Fox?” I can truthfully answer, “No.”
Propaganda is as propaganda does. They all disgust me.
It’s called Corrupt Corporate Media.
Another anecdote of the system protecting itself from outsiders.
Pretenses must be maintained at all costs, lest everyone look behind that threadbare curtain and find the truth.
There ya go.
This just shows Dominion is in the right. Voting machines
are fine.
Y’all are just conspiracy theorists. /S
heh
The 2000 election’s month of hanging chad recounts and–BINGO!–gotta have computerized voting machines. All planned? Nah…no way!
This is why you gotta let the idiots be idiots. Why should it raise my blood pressure if *they* destroy their cerebral cortexes and eat bugs to please Klaus Schwab?
God left us a roadmap if we’re smart enough to follow it.
A wire transfer from bank a to bank b, and they both own bank c.
That way no discovery is necessary, you see.
And I speak in verses,
as the country worsens.
or something like that.
The whole suit was a psyops to legitimize machines, calm down all the “cheating” claims and scare everyone into shutting up about those damned cheating machines. No one in media will ever dare question machine voting again.
Amen and Amen! To me that’s the sole purpose of this “payoff “! So all the evidence proving Dominion machines are connected to the internet and can be hacked, have algorithms to switch vote totals favoring Democrats only and are owned by foreigners including the Chinese government will all be dismissed! It’s going to be impossible for President Trump to overcome machine fraud and fraudulent ballot harvesting! JMO
Wonder if Paul Ryan worked a deal with Congress to fund the payout.
Maybe that is where same of the SVB money went.
Looks like Fox News will be getting a book deal soon…/s
Imagine the pressure applied to Fox to settle.
Now we will be inundated with baffle-gab!
SEE SEE SEE all you utra-maga nut cases! No cheating even FOX admits it. So there!
Ugh yes…
Fox most likely got a kickback from the uniparty to settle.
“Fox News wanted to cement the 2020 election as clear Biden victory,”
So…..You’re telling me that Fox just provided Dominion with a 787 million dollar financial package to fund the next generation build of Dominion’s special voting machines? “Creative Financing” at its best.
Just substitute Chinese Communist Party for the word Dominion. Or substitute XI for Chinese Communist Party and you’ll have the real answer.
I wonder what Fox agreed to pay after the 2024 election.
This decision also justifies Jan 6th hearings and sentences Along with the word Insurrection
“lies” or “false claims” are good indicators that everyone is lying and twisting words to protect everyone.
Newsmax, OAN, and Lindell are next. They will get buried financially even if they were not wrong in their claims.
As the hosts here point out, funny how none of the corporate media was ever held accountable financially for the 6 years (and counting) of lies about Trump and Russia. Maybe it’s because the government has their back……
Gavin Newsome will be the next POTUS. Biden won’t be able to get out of his chair or eat without help by then. Dominion will ensure that.
Yep. I bet all my money Newsome will be the next prez
No, just the opposite. One of those other defendants is going to show FoxNews how it should have been done, and win.
Doubt it. Especially now that Fox just handed Dominion enough money to fund their aggressive and vicious lawsuits against Newsmax, OAN, and Lindell… 3/4ths of a Billion dollars buys a LOT of lawyer time…..
I can’t see Mike Lindell settling. Dominion might be afraid of a court battle against a real badass.
Yes!
Gavin has ruined California but Jared Polis has destroyed Colorado and both want to be POTUS.
I’m seein’ those strings again… 😉
Chuckle for my day🫡
Does this mean these machines will be used 2024?
Yep…and you will like it.
A lot of us are working locally to get rid of them. It’s kind of hard for officials to explain why they want to stick with something expensive and controversial when paper ballots hand-counted are very cheap and proven.
Just get rid of all machines ar the voting booth. They are never secure.
Fox News just gave Dominion and the deep state $787.5 million to rig 2024.
Should we reward them now by watching their late breaking “news” while munching popcorn crickets?
Leaked footage of the 4th Branch brokered agreement.
Corrupt payoff. Now dominion can go after all the conservatives like Powell, Lake, and yes even Trump.
Paid in full by the fourth branches drug, bribery, weapons, and child/ human trafficking crime syndicate profits.
A special place in Hell is thankfully awaiting them all.
No trial, no discovery. How convenient!
Exactly!!
There was a lot of discovery but that was part of the scam. The depositions consisted of Top Fox people saying they agreed that there was nothing wrong with the machines and the election was fair. This was a total nonadversarial collusive lawsuit. The point of settling it now, is so that it never gets before an appellate court, which could reestablish the first amendment, freedom of the press.
Whenever a politician says “free” nowadays . . . I ask, “Are people still buying it?”
“The Courage to be Free” by Desantis.
What a beautiful word, “free.”
“Operation Iraqi Freedom”
“Free elections” . . . that’s another one.
Whenever a politician says the word “free” . . . “we’re fighting for your freedom.”
Then an experimental injection is mandated, all bank deposits are monitored, all text messages are recorded by the NSA, and no one can question an election.
In 2024 we get to dip our finger in purple ink and call it good.
Question Election = Insurrection
Well.. not really.. but Faux news would have us believe it is so.
Stolen election = treasonous coup
Yes, what I said.
However, there is something even more sinister about this.
They didn’t want the truth about Dominion systems coming to light, as they would, with proper discovery.
They had the goods to make it happen, however that would blow the cover on a whole lotta fraudulent Selections across this planet. As the good globalists that they are they could not let this come out.
Massively corrupt bureaucracies and stolen elections have consequences in declining republics…
Lol….
To steal from Mark Twain I think it was… If voting mattered they wouldn’t let us do it.
Definitely a pay-off from one deep state entity to another. But this is really a warning to anyone else who dare contest Dominion software and their obvious election fraud scheduled for 2024. It’s a legal precedent now to keep others from trying to expose the corruption of Dominion or face being sued into oblivion!
The County I live in announced they had purchased 100 new Dominion machines
In the announcement, they had to mention the Trjmp lie about rigged elections disclaimer
I feel so secure,my Eastwing 🔨 wants to vote in my place!
Hmm
FOX settles
~to avoid opening the can of worms …. truth spilling out.
Will it now be touted
~ that this is proof
that those cheat-machines
are safe to use in the next election?
(rhetorical question)
~fungus
Immoral. This has got to be demoralizing to any staff at Fox with integrity.
Yes. I heard the staff with integrity at Fox had a group meeting today – in a phone booth.
It certainly means news organizations will be afraid to cover fraud in 2024.
I hate this shit.
At least ones not simply an extension of the CCP, moving currency from the left pocket to the right.
Plus they need to overcome the equally compromised CCP ‘justice’ system.
They never covered it accurately anyway. This just gives the ENEmedia another excuse to continue not covering election fraud accurately.
Bye bye forever to fair elections…
So faux news was willing to pay 787 million to say the election was not stolen and the cheating voting machines are as pure as a new born baby. Wonder why Dodo-minion has not sued Mike Lindell. Maybe because he will not roll over and play Trump Gotcha.
They ARE suing Lindell:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/03/us-supreme-court-mike-lindell-mypillow-lawsuit-trump
Time to buy some sheets and pillows!
More Taxpayer money paying of the true deplorables.
Do they specify what the lies were?
It really is interesting how the uniparty works. This puts a massive punitive number on questioning the outcome of the election, which will make many companies too afraid to touch it, and also puts some precedence that later courts will point at to arrive at the same ruling.
It also ends any questions of “who” really controls The Drudge Report…Keith Rupert Murdoch had his company splashed on the page in the biggest font ever seen in history.
I still like Tucker, Maria, and Payne but I don’t watch Fox News anymore.
Yes, but just like the few patriots in government the kleptocracy uses them to give the majority false hope.
At some point though something along the lines of the American or French revolution occurs.
I hope it’s more like the American revolution.
Ouch-the insurers had to bite hard on that one. But when your insured is working against you…
I just can’t help thinking this won’t turn out very well for Fox and Dominion.
It’s that same unyielding confidence that I had knowing Mr. Trump would win 2016.
God wins in the end. That much is clear.
Isn’t it normal practice that a settlement amount is usually withheld from the public?
It’s almost as if Fox agreed to disclose the settlement amount like a badge of honor!
Yes. I want to know who actually paid for this.
It’s normal, but not universal. They might have negotiated releasing the amount in place of other admissions of wrongdoing.
@Invisible Mikey, thanks I didn’t know that!
And if Fox can’t stand behind it’s reporting, either because of THREATS or FEAR, they don’t even have the veneer of standing for Conservatives.
I hope the folks at Fox can rest tonight as they enjoy some Bud Lites, cause they’ll end up just like Budwienerswill.
They had to do something. The case was supposed to start yesterday and the judge delayed it so they could negotiate a settlement instead.
You’re right something smells… almost as bad as Bud Lite. I hope Fox ends up like Budstransswill.
Did the Fox News lawyers and computer experts have full access to all of Dominion’s untouched post election hardware and software programs? If the answer is no, then it was not a fair lawsuit.
Some of the FNC contributors might have made wild unsubstantiated claims that were provably untrue. I can think of one or two possibilities. I believe Newsmax, One America News Network and former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne are still facing similar lawsuits. I doubt this will help them.
Interesting way of getting rid of their competition, though small
I think Patrick Byrne is very eager for the chance to say a few things in court.
How on earth could FOX settle , we all saw the massive switching of votes from Trump to Biden right on the TV screen for God’s sakes . Dominions OWN top techie admitted the systems were not trustworthy .
maybe they just wanted to launder some money [tax free to Dominion 10% ers]
That’s only double what Rupert Murdick paid his X wife Jerry Hall.
This is a money laundering operation in full sight
Like a runaway train. How much was Dominion worth before Fox joyfully settled? TRUST THE MACHEEEEENZ.
Something to note, perhaps not on well-moderated sites like CTH, but there is very persistent commenting on this affair by a handful of ‘people’ who, when one checks their history, have literally never commented on anything but Dominion topics, or on all-fraud topics exclusively.
They stole the election by a variety of means; we lost our voice in government; it’s all part of a very nefarious plan.
They ALL sleep in the same big bed! We cannot let them get away with this.
