No settlement in the Dominion vs Fox lawsuit will

[AndyS]

be complete unless it includes every host who pushed the big lie be required to admit to lying to Fox viewers and apologize for it on their show every day for at least one month.

1. They'll settle out of court

And that will be that. Money does not suffer consequences.

[brooklynite]

5. Yes, but the settlement won't be confidential...

Dominion's future business prospects were damaged by public claims of rigged machines. A public acknowledgement of that falsehood will be necessary.

[Shermann]

2. Fox would lower their settlement offer with a condition like that

I'm guessing Dominion will aim for the big payoff over public shaming.

Ath the end of the day, they are a for-profit business.

4. It's too bad a judge can't impose the public shaming...

...whether the plaintiff requests it or not.

[brooklynite]

6. No they won't

A cash settlement won't restore their ability to sell voting machines in the future.

[Marcuse]

3. No incentive to settle. Fox pleads no contest or endures the show trial of the century.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. Wont matter if every single fox host and whoever goes on every day for a month

and says "Yep, we lied and we did it often about this and that"

Wont lose a single viewer and the viewers will believe every single thing fox tells them, NO MATTER WHAT...

And the reason is 'kayfabe."

9. THIS 1000%.

[FakeNoose]

16. How many Faux viewers know that?

My guess is, not that many. Most of them are true believers.

8. I could not agree more. n/t

[Karadeniz]

10. It may not meet the fine print, but when you think about it, politics-related lying is voter fraud.

[babylonsister]

12. No amount will fix the damage done by faux. nt

[Initech]

14. Yes it's insane that Fox is destroying the country and getting away with it.

[Initech]

13. Uh wouldn't that be all of them?

[NJCher]

15. watch the first part of Nicole Wallace's show today

and see if you still think that.

Edited to say that Andrew Weissman is awesome.



Are we ever lucky to have a mind like his on our side.
