If Dominion had gone to trial, any award could have been overturned on appeal

Plus caught up in the courts for many years. And we have all seen generous jury awards be overturned by courts.

Dominion did what they had to do.

Now we have to do what we must-GOTV and save democracy.

1. Certainly.

That is why almost all lawsuits that are not dismissed or withdrawn get settled. Only a tiny number go to trial. Dominion is not a friend of anyone left or right. They are a corporation and will act in the interest of their owners and no one else.

3. Yes.

That is, I believe, their fiduciary responsibility.

2. I agree completely. What Dominion got was certainly not chump change.

Don't you know that somewhere, this evening, there a gonna be a pile of corks a'popping. Daddy will be able to buy the baby a new pair of shoes!

Perhaps Fox can ask for donations from their loyal followers. Maybe Trump can assist them.

4. Fox makes 14B a year... They won't even feel this.

5. It also means little. See: Alex Jones, who continues to parrot his bullshit.

Jones didn't change, even though he was found liable. People didn't stop believing him, even though the defamation case was successful against him.

6. Trials are risky

Most large cases do not go to trial unless one party has made a large mistake as to the law or the facts
