I'm digesting the opinion now, but it's groundbreaking that the plaintiff could win anything on summary judgment, as a matter of law, here, against a news organization, on a defamation claim. it is bad news for fox, despite the fact that some of the elements will "still" have to go to trial.

Davis found that Dominion proved defamation per se, particularly on the point of falsity, see his use of ALL CAPS, bold and *italics*, in the passage below.

While everyone on Twitter completely misunderstands the ruling because some moron tweeted in all caps something entirely misleading to fintwit like five minutes after my post, but it got more traction, I am just reminded of how much better life is on Mastodon. 😇

This opinion is such a huge loss for Fox, and such a huge win for Dominion.

It's hard to overstate what a big deal this is legally.
