Jerry_Atrick Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Looks like Fox decided to settle out of court and pay Dominion around USD$787m... While this is a win for Dominion and their venture capital owner, it is a loss to public justice as now the hearing will not happen and the evidence, which appears to have been quite damning, will not be aired. Another case of if you have money, you can escape justice. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/18/media/fox-dominion-settlement/index.html 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Can't imagine the share holders will be that amused. Newscorpse faces other challenges along similar lines. It hasn't come out as well as it would have under cross examination but it's CLEAR the management is less responsible in it's conduct than could be desired when such an amount is negotiated to settle it. The option was always there and stressed by the Judge. I'm not suggesting there's anything improper in that. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 The other voting machine company Smartmatic has a $US2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox so they may settle for a similar of maybe larger amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I think it was about 75% of the amount sought so reducing your costs it's about the same nett result. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) I thought Dominion wqere after 1.6bn.. so a little more than a 25% reduction (https://www.npr.org/2023/04/14/1169858006/the-math-behind-dominion-voting-systems-1-6-billion-lawsuit-against-fox-news) . I have read in the media that a lot of the legal experts were predicting that they were likely to have won the case itself. In teh US, civil cases are heard by a judge and jury (not so, generally, in the UK, except for defamation). I think they may have settled because the way a jury will go is totally unpredictable...

facthunter Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 OK I reckon the Terrorgraph is about the worst and the Herald Sun in Vic close behind. I think the Merde ock's woes are just beginning. There are other cases pending and the shareholders are getting testy at the loss of reputation (ha Ha). Getting found out I mean. Like when it costs dollars. Up till then It's just fine. There's nothing new about the way they have always done things. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be hard to find anyone more cynical, transactional and ruthless than Murdoch is, so couldn’t be much worse. Probably lots of Qanon type fringe groups, but they wouldn’t have Murdoch’s clout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
