Newsmax Host Reads Disclaimer Acknowledging 2020 Election Results ‘As Legal and Final’ After Trump Claims It Was Rigged - Lemmy.world

Too late. Dominion’s coming for you.

I’d love to see Dominion or anyone else bankrupt these weasels and the entire organization with lawsuits
Dominion is not done fighting 2020 election lies. A look at its other cases

Company still has defamation lawsuits pending against two news firms and several persons it has accused of spreading lies

The Guardian
Dominion will probably be happy to settle like last time. Don't count on them making a dent in any of these "news" organizations.
They made a dent in Fox
Not really, they took a big payout and Fox is doing fine. Very disappointing outcome tbh.
Were you expecting a single lawsuit to destroy the company? Has that ever happened?

Of course not, that’s ridiculous and you know it.

This case could’ve easily been used to challenge the previous finding that they had no obligation to tell the truth as an entertainment company, but Dominion chose money instead. If you’re happy with them getting a slap on the wrist as opposed to a real chance of forcing a change in operations at Fox then that’s on you. I choose to see the reality in that Dominion chose greed over doing something meaningful in court when they had a rock solid case.

You think almost $800 million is a slap on the wrist?

Yeah Dominion should have turned the largest ever defamation settlement on principle. Makes complete sense.

You think almost $800 million is a slap on the wrist?

Comparing that to Fox’s profits? Yes, yes I do think that’s a slap on the wrist compared to the greater implications this could’ve had on the media landscape.
