Serious Trouble episode (with a re-recorded section after settlement) about Dominion dropping today. We didn’t talk about:
* No trial result would have had the judge ordering Fox to apologize on air
*No trial result would have resulted in Fox being punished for damage to democracy
*. No trial result could have ”established facts” as true or false for all purposes in America
If your expectations for the legal system are not reality-based you’re going to be consistently disappointed.

@Popehat the most realistic expectation is that revalations actually coming out in court would have made more news in more places, causing more brand damage for Fox than the settlement will

@RandomDamage @Popehat Perhaps, but Dominion probably decided it did not want to spend its money on lawyer fees to further that objective

@paulalanlevy @Popehat true, and it's not fair of people to expect them to.

Especially when Fox was willing to pay such a handsome sum to avoid the prospect.
