That’s part of it … the other part is that well … when you meet your old friend for dinner and he’s, as always, really nice to you but horrible to the waiter it’s more likely that in fact he isn’t all that nice a person. “Otherwise decent” sometimes means not actually decent at all.

Do you think? I'm not so sure. They (the craziest in their party) don't want the truth. They want validation for all the crazy shit they believe. It's like saying if you showed flat-earthers actual evidence of our planet being a sphere, they'd change their ways. Except that's not how it works. If the republicans pick someone sane, they might get some more people on their side. But they'd also loose a bunch as well I think. I think a lot of bugs that came crawling out in 2016 to support their guy would go back to not voting. They can't pick a good politician and retain the support from the bottom of the barrel crowd.

Right back at you, Stop watching Fox.
Will be interested to see what the terms of the settlement were if any of them are made public.

A billion oughta cover it.
Whatever the settlement is, Dominion did us all a favor. I’m glad Fox got drug through the mud - wait, actually disinfected with sunlight - and were not able to muscle out like they probably thought they would be.
Maybe this will give them pause before knowingly going along with lies to help their preferred candidate.

I was sort of looking forward to forcing their pundits to actually testify so people could hear them admit to lying even though their viewers couldn't care less.

There’s still the Smartmatic lawsuit, which is even more problematic for Fox…
Oh don't forget that there's the Smartmatic case just around the corner. They may choose to settle too, but they may not. So there's still a chance.

Over 3/4 of a billion dollars, and admitting that some of the claims were false..

Fox News settles with Dominion at the last second, pays more than $787 million to avert defamation trial over its 2020 election lies — CNN Business
Fox News reached a last-second settlement with Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday as the case raced toward opening statements, paying more than $787 million to end a colossal two-year legal battle that publicly shredded the right-wing network's credibility.

"Fox … settled … for $787.5 million" (about half what was sought)
The BS, they just cannot turn off the tap.
"We acknowledge the court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues," Fox said in a statement that was read on air on Fox News.

I’m guessing there is also a “you keep your mouth shut about Dominion for now on” clause.

I wish they did not settle. fox's viewers will never know.
I would imagine.
Yeah pity there wasn’t a “your on air personalities (they certainly aren’t journalists) have to go on air and open their regular shows by saying they lied and apologize to the audience for lying” clause (yes I know most of the audience tunes in because they want to be lied to but still). Probably too much to expect. Oh well. There’s always holding out hope for round 2!

Actually this is bullshit. Murdock has a long history of settling. I think I heard close to a half billion collectively before this. Imagine how bad/evil you have to be to determine forking over a half billion (plus whatever this settlement is) is the best option and it affects your life and empire by a factor of zero. This is just another example of a completely unequal and unfair justice system for those at the top.

One of the reasons it was believed Fox would never settle in this case is because it would mean they’d have to fork over even more to Smartmatic to settle. And the lawsuits and settlements will just keep coming once this pattern is set.

Not sure what this means. Are you saying it doesn't happen?
