I hope and pray that Dominion and Smartmatic get 10 times the money they asked for, and bankrupt the entire Murdoch machine for good.

[AustenObsessed]

Their lies led to violence. This cannot be overstated.

[John_Demarco]

Telling the truth was "measurably hurting the company." That's all you need to know about Fox.

[paulnolan]

They deserve to be sued into the ground then shut down. They are the enemy within.

[emiebex]

Fox News can't "We're just Entertainers" their way out of this one. They knew exactly what they were doing. 🧏🏿‍♂️🙆🏻‍♀️

[A_Knight]

When they lose the lawsuit, Fox should be required to state to their viewers everything they lied about.

[ashelinrose]

Spreading lies intentionally and with malice is something that needs to be held accountable in this country. Or else, we'll all just be stuck being at each other's throats because no one knows up from down anymore.

[hemlockVape]

These people put our country and its citizens in danger, *FOR* *PROFIT* 🤬

[emiebex]

How ironic is it Marjorie Traitor Greene talking about a "National Divorce" when her own husband desperately wanted out? 🤣

[dmercury]

I just hope Dominion doesn’t settle with Faux. Dominion please take this to a jury trial.

[kazza]

I am begging the universe to let this lawsuit rip fox news to pieces and gets it off the air

[MajestDick]

Anyone suggesting a "national divorce" needs to be fully investigated as a potential foreign asset

[COMPFUNK]

Why _wouldn’t_ Marge suggest a national divorce? She divorced herself from sanity long ago.

[j.j.kucala]

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HOLD THESE CONSPIRATORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LIES!?

[davidgoff]

Fox should be forced to tell thier viewers that they have been systematically lying to them for years.

[gamepapa]

Reminder: right before the Roger Ailes scandal, Fox News decided that instead of reporting the news they wanted to BE the news. Now with the Dominion lawsuit looming over them I say, "Be careful what you wish for."

[casbot]

Can we not just finally assume that _every_ accusation by FOX is a confession?

[d.b.]

"I strongly disagree with that decision, but as an employee I have to abide by it; and if that changes, I'll let you know." --Howard Kurtz, future former employee at Fox News

[aaronrumph]

I love that initial scared look on MTG after Hannity asked her that question. You can see her repeating in her head "don't say Civil War, don't say Civil War"

[Studeb]

The saddest part of all of this is that none of the Fox News viewers will ever see this confession from Fox News.
