@KlasfeldReports Meh. This settlement will probably cost him less than the News of the World phone hacking scandal did nearly 15 years ago. And now the scapegoat editor for that remains very close to the Murdochs and is rumored to being considered for new leadership in the organization.
Fox News' only revenue source proved how loyal they were when OANN and Newsmax challenged from the right. I think Fox's only viable options are (1) continue with the crazy, or (2) double down on the crazy.
