Newsmax's Eric Bolling read out a disclaimer claiming the network "has accepted the election results as legal and final" after he aired an interview with Trump.
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?
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.
Were you expecting a single lawsuit to destroy the company? Has that ever happened?
Yes (to the second part): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollea_v._Gawker
Of course not, that’s ridiculous and you know it.

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