Dominion, Fox News reach settlement in defamation case

Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News have reached a deal to resolve the $1.6 billion defamation case the electronic voting company brought against the cable news giant over unfounded accusations broadcast after the 2020 presidential election, falsely claiming it rigged votes against former President Donald Trump. CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson and CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane have more on this breaking story.

LMAO!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

[kawilui]

I wonder if Dominion could also sue Donald Trump & Rudy Guliani for a Defamation.. 🤨🤔

[ulyssesgrant]

One thing's for sure, Fox News will not be covering this embarrassing story. LMAO!!

[johnpaulwebb]

Look out Rudy, Sidney and Looser Trump.

[fromage_collage]

That’s probably better than what they would get after appeals, but without years of headaches. Worth it. Move on to the next one. Smartmatic really has them by the danglers now ✂️

[momomasters]

Fox needs to be removed from the landscape.

This settlement compellingly shows that LIES HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES, and TRUTH MATTERS .

The best NEWS, FOX NEWS HAVE FACED REAL JUSTICE .

[erichan]

I hope all those who perpetrated the election lies are brought to justice. This includes Rudy and Pillow man. And yes, Trump too!!!

Evidently, the truth doesn't know Blue or Red, but it sure does know, green.

A lot of people are upset about the Dominion/Fox settlement, but let’s be honest (something Fox isn’t): Would YOU turn down $787, 500, 000? If you really want to stop Fox from spreading lies and hate (and/or lose more money), I recommend you contact their advertisers (easily Googled) and tell them you’re going to boycott their products/services, until/unless they stop giving Fox advertising dollars.

FOX should be made to make a formal apology to their viewers and a count by count dissertation of who and what they lied about and what their liable for.

[Yusso]

Fox viewers will be so mad, not because fox lied to them but because fox made dominion rich. 😂

[kathleenaustin]

These lawyers are cashing in also!!! They get a few million dollars!!!

[ktemaeisia]

You know what I like about CBS News so much? It's such normal, level-headed reporting of the news. And that's a rarity these days

[erichan]

The audio cut out. I hope the settlement also includes Fox has to air ongoing announcements to their viewers admitting their lies and an apology.

[tinay]

Extremely disappointed in settlement, fox needs to be on trial since money is easy way out

[matrilhamilton]

Then why is it most people still think they're corrupt?

[tinadenning]

Glad for you Dominion!! Should of go into court and had them say it on Faux News they lied

[im_smert]

will fox news report this on their site? 😅

[tylerk]

Sooo, a monetary settlement represents vindication? I don't think it works that way, but yeah.
