⚖ We were actually able to include the Tucker Carlson news in this video. See if you can find it!

As an IT specialist, the "overwhelm the servers" bit makes me laugh so hard. Voting is not exactly a large amount of data by modern standard.

[rasengdori]

They took the loss because anything they would have been forced to say under oath would have made their situation 100 times worse.

[TheNerdyGinger]

“STOP TELLING THE TRUTH! WE’RE LOSING MONEY!”

Man I wish this went to trial. Someone take this bs company down.

[Nymaz]

Fox: "You can't sue us, we're NOT a news organization!"
Also Fox: "You can't sue us, we're a news organization!"

[scolkereybel]

Its remarkable, that Fox News routinely goes, 'we're an entertainment company, so we are not bound to tell the truth', and then turn around and say, 'we are a news company, so because we thought we were telling the truth, we shouldn't be hounded'

[ceruleanwalker]

"The north koreans do a more nuanced show." That burn was so good i could light a cigar on it.

[Sisren]

"It's still going to be 2020 for a very long time" is probably the single most depressing statement ever spoken.

[pamagujar]

"You're entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts" is the moral of the story.

[DariusRoland]

I'm still sad that Fox News wasn't forced to air a retraction and apologize.

[m.laurifolia]

the "source: it came to me in a vision" part is truly underrated. what unserious times we live in.

[Tink]

It's fascinating to repeatedly see people behind the scenes saying "help, being honest is hurting our brand!"

[jessaminehaak]

I have to say, a groupchat with Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity sounds like its own special layer of Hell. I can't imagine having to read through it without losing my mind... condolences to Dominion's lawyers.

[lXedalinl]

When a news company says the truth is bad for business, you know it's bad.

[TurntUpTurtles]

As crazy as this sounds, it almost feels like the nearly $800 million wasn't enough. The impact the widespread misinformation had on our society has been catastrophic and we will see this for years to come.

I actually worked an election last year in my county and i can confidently opine that conservatives do not trust their own government. We only had repesentatives from the RNC come to "oversee" how we were working. I had one lady try to tell me how the ballot she got in the mail was different than the one we had at the polls. I said "Yes, it is. This is a provisional ballot which includes all nominees. You get a ballot that corresponds with your chosen political party sent to you, but the ones we have here are for people who are either registering to vote for the first time, they moved, or changed their name...." I could tell she just didn't believe me but i had to remain unbiased. It was so hard, but i loved it. Easiest 160$ i made in my life.

[Warmaker]

I really wish this had gone to trial. IMO America needed this. The dirty laundry needed to get cleansed, aired out.

It's also pathetic that for Fox News, the facts hurt them because their audience can't handle it.

[SlothinAintEasy]

Nothing says “I haven’t done anything wrong, ” like paying 787 million dollars

[quietsamurai]

Not only did Fox get screwed, but Tucker Carlson was also fired 🎉

[grenmoyo]

I knew Fox were screwed when it was found in court that the lawyers committed several acts of omission right at the end of the case. And just how angry the judge was. You don't do that in court.
