  1. Typical American's defending a foreign company

  2. Dominion's CEO reminds me of an Ambulance Chasing lawyer.

  3. You cant forget, settlements go both ways. It could be told that to Fox News, $787 million dollars is worth less than the public scrutiny of a 2 year defamation trial. Settlement's do not prove guilt. In fact, in most cases settlements happen to protect reputation.

  4. But will it hurt the stock price enough to affect anyone's RSU profits?

  5. And now FAUX is NOT being held accountable for the LIES that helped divide and separate our country.
    FAUX viewers will make up excuses

  6. It was never about money. Dominion should’ve held out for more damaging testimony from Faux, because that was the whole point of this.

  7. Bad year for me, META down 40k, ALLP down 35k, Draft Kings down 6k, NIO down 15K, ABML down 8k, and my wife doesn’t know. I'm just hanging on to Jim Cramer's words about opportunities in volatile times so perhaps, I either wait for a recovery or pick profitable investments to substitute for my loss.

  8. With its constant stream of blatant lies Fox is trying to incite civil war. Watching Fox makes you more stupid, and an enemy of the United States.

  9. Should have settled for a billion and another $100 million every time a host or guest who lies about the voting machine after the settlement

  10. Will have to create an alternative to attract fox fans. Continuing education to begin the process, perchance.

  11. One thing for sure, they will think twice next time they want to spread lies.

  12. Fox is worth 22billion so this isn't a big deal that the matrix scammed a fraction of their money

  13. RADICAL LEFT LIBERALS ARE TRYING TO SILENCE OUR REAL SOURCES OF THE REAL TRUTH ANY WAY THEY CAN. USING AND WEAPONIZING DOJ FBI AND FALSELY TAKING A FORMER PRESIDENT TO COURT AND TRYING TO INDICT HIM ON B/S . NOW THEY ATTACK FOX NEWS KNOWING IT'S ANOTHER POLITICAL STUNT. CONSERVATIVES WITH MORAL VALUES WILL PREVAIL. RADICAL LIBERALS WITH THERE AGENDA ON CHANGING OUR AMERICAN CULTURE WILL NOT. SO GET OFF YOU HIGH HORSE AND WEEP LIBS. YOU HAVE NO AGENDA HERE MAYBE IN CHINA OR RUSSIA. BUT NOT HERE CYA.

  14. $787.5 million may not bankrupt Rupert but there are still more lawsuits to go.

  15. Fox news finally got caught. The Fox News name has tarnished itself even further. Sgt Pittman from SC I hope you are seeing this

  16. Fox viewers don't care. The base is never, ever going to pay attention to facts.

  17. Sweeping the truth under the rug

  18. Dominion should never settle they should have brought them to trial to what really exposed them for the lies and hypocrisy of that network but in a sense though I guess admission of guilt

  19. Oh, so it's a good time to pick up some shares of Fox? Thanks for the tip!

  20. It should have been enough to at least cause them some discomfort, but it appears that this was just chump-change for Fox – probably just bonuses and "office cash".
    Coffee money for Tucker and Hannity won't even require them to apologize for their disinfo.

  21. It was the public that got cheated! We've all been waiting for on-air confessions, and that ain't happening now! I watch Sean Hannity last night and the propaganda has only increased! Why do we even allow such propaganda to be broadcast in a free Nation?!

  22. Fox did not blink. Lol…. Fox got caught and the evidence was clear. Fox is trash at its finest. You give false information and you w I'll all pay. Point blank. Now fox could take that to the bank.

  23. Money talks louder than the lie being retracted on record as an everyday person hears a large number & moves on.

    Its pleasing dominion won, but more powerful is a simple visual truth aired succinctly by the offending presenters.

    Arguably then, any news network could replay over & over again any of the retractions publicly, driving home the point.
    Fox has $4.1billion in cash/liquidity, so it can afford this settlement easily hence the above

  24. I'm sure Dominion didn't want to be too greedy so there would be plenty of the pie left for Smartmatic to enjoy.

  25. Too bad. The harm caused by Fox is seen through out the World. Wanna-be Facists Leaders have used this playbook over and over. The damage to Election Ingegrity and Democracy is enormous. The full Rott of the GOP exposed and ACCEPTED thanks to Fox

  26. Fox got off easy in my opinion.

  27. I prefer my News Channels NOT to be multiple proven liars.

  28. Dominion sold out and now fox will hide the truth. Thanks a lot dominion for wasting my time and believing in you.

  29. I am Chilean, and I am happy that…FINALLY!! it has been revealed how FoxNews has lied and lies constantly. As a citizen "of the world" I hope this is the beginning of a MORAL CLEANSING of many major media outlets in the West!! What FoxNews has done has been repeated in many countries! Examples? Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Great Britain (Brexit!!), etc.

  30. pox nuz released a statement …
    It's like an insult to dominion …
    like .."Cheapskates" SUK ON THAT …
    f.. dominion I hope they lose all their f business…

  31. Smartmatic takes up the torch.

  32. I really would have wished for this to go to court and have an actual jury/judge rule in this claim … probably a good turnout for Dominion, but undermining and bending the truth should not have been settled over money.

  33. 787 million!

    As punishment… Executives only get a 20% bonus this year.

  34. The lesson?

    This is what it costs to support Trumps lunacy.

  35. 🤣 at least fox News can count their blessings by having the means to payout a settlement.

  36. Fox lost just like Trump. This was a win,win for USA now Fox employees should be held accountable for their actions. Because they are not kids. They went along with Trump lies also.
