Well, it seems like under the Yankee law system (both state and federal) that there is now a clear incentive to make private entities be involved at all levels of government operation, no matter how regalian, as an efficient deterrent against existential attacks on democracy. I see no way this can possibly go wrong. #DominionVsFox
Think about it guys the Sandy Hook parents who lost children at the school shooting many years ago are still trying to collect the money Alex Jones is required to pay and the verdict was issued months ago. Dominion is getting the money immediately. If you won a civil lawsuit would you rather have the money immediately or wait years to collect it? #dominionvsfox
@scenario
I'll lay you 100-to-1 odds that the executives will retire from the company within a year, and be given HUGE bonuses on the way out. And there will be huge dividends or stock buybacks somewhere in there.
Has everyone shaken off of what happened yesterday? I saw a lot of doom and gloom posts when Dominion and Fox settled and I did get testy like Teri_Kanefield@law-and-politics.online did and I'm sorry I was only trying to give people factual information. We need to be more careful of what we post since I saw a lot of misinformation yesterday. #mastodon #dominionvsfox
I am going to sleep reminder for everyone the wheels of justice turn slowly but turn regardless. There will be accountability for everyone from Trump Ron Desantis Fox Rupert Murdoch Rudy Giuliani Sidney Powell etc. Fox and Rupert Murdoch surrendered i repeat they surrendered they wouldn't have come to the table as late as they did if Rupert Murdoch and his lawyers were smart. I hope to see less doom posts when I wake up I understand the frustration I am frustrated too was looking forward to the trial but this is a win for the truth and democracy and we need to take the wins whenever we get them even when they aren't what we expect. #fauxnews #dominionvsfox

That is simply not true money talks in civil lawsuits and Fox is going through 787.6 million things and this is just the beginning not the end. If justice were denied Fox would've won the trial or the appeal which would take years and nobody wants that especially with the current supreme court they could weaken the standard NYT vs Sullivan set after that case went to the supreme court since our current supreme court has overturned Roe they could easily destroy our democracy within hours with a ruling on Moore vs Harper. #fightfordemocracy #dominionvsfox

We often talk about how money talks and that's true and guess what money talked today and gave us accountability even though it wasn't in the way many have expected. The point of the lawsuit wasn't to force Fox to stop lying the point was to compell them to pay for the damage they have done to Dominion. Once the money runs out Fox News dies want to kill Fox take away their money. Dominion took a piece of it away The rest of it will come from the other lawsuits and it will be up to us on what we decide to do. The only option we can do is remove Fox from our cable providers by calling them. #dominionvsfox
I am not a doomer or a defeatist but I decided to take action to help keep me calm. Fuck Fox News #dominionvsfox If you have Youtube TV I urge you to sign this petition to get Fox removed from the air

We already knew they were never going to agree to that even if they did they would apologize then backtrack on it to save their ratings. This is just the beginning not the end folks. STOP DOOMING #dominionvsfox

Fox News just paid an $80 million company (Dominion) $787.5 million, as a part of the settlement deal. But:
- No retractions.
- No apologies.
- Nobody got fired.
- Nobody goes to jail.
- Rupert Murdoch got off easy.
- Thatβs less than 10% of the media mogul's net worth.
However: Fox is still facing a similar defamation suit ($2.7bn) from another plaintiff involved in voting technology, Smartmatic.
To be continued...
#news "Fox News settles with Dominion at the last second for $787M, averting defamation trial over its 2020 election lies"
Now the whole truth will be hidden and they can play like they won.
Wish they would have included the provision that they had to 'fire' a whole list of people too.

Justice for Rupert Murdoch and f*** everybody else
#dominionvsfox
#foxnewslies
We've reached a point where I need a stronger word than "f-ck."
Part of the settlement really should have included #FauxNews being forced to repeatedly tell their viewers (during prime time and throughout the day, for days & weeks at a time) that they lied, & that the #2020Election was not rigged.
Allowing #FoxLiars to pay to lie doesn't teach them anything. They need pure humiliation, and their viewers need to hear the truth.

There was a settlement in the Dominion vs FOX case.
Dominion and FOX News has settled on 787.5 million.
No settlement thank goodness unless something changes within the next 3-6 hours the trial begins tomorrow. It sucks I won't be able to see it since it isn't being streamed. #dominionvsfox
