  • No Trial...Fox pays

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 18 16:35:19 2023
    but we don't get any significant case precedent.

    Oh well, Fox has the cash to pay it. CNN? Probably not.

    **FOX may well re-consider promulgating Trump's lies in the future. That
    can only be good for Democracy. $787 million will hurt. The upcoming
    civil case may be worse for FOX.

    **Differences in jurisdictions. Yes, you are correct. FOX is about to
    face several more civil cases, associated with it promulgating Trump's
    lies. Let's hope they learn a (very expensive) lesson. Shareholders and
    other voting systems are lining up to extract their pound of flesh.
