They settled to spare themselves the embarrassment of having their hosts and executives paraded out to testify about how they didn't believe anything they were saying and that they knew what they were claiming was false. Not only that, but if they lost the case the judgment could have ended up being a lot worse than nearly $800M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominion disagreed, and that's why the company sued. ? That Fox had to pay almost $800B to settle after it became publicly apparent that what deadbeats like Carlson were saying was very different than what they believed, is basically a concession of the above. You are always good for a laugh. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reason10 Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Boys and girls, (I decided to delete the shortened F word along with the grow up deal.) Carlson wasn't the ONLY talking head in the Fox family. He has the highest ratings for his time slot because the competing networks put Nazis on the same time he's on. So naturally he will outdraw those goose steppers. Remember this: A WHORE came along and accused Bill O'Reilly of some sex offense and Fox fired him. (Never mind that the WHORE was probably lying.) Fox hired Tucker Carlson who maintained the ratings for that time slot. Fox will hire someone else to take Tucker's place, and Tucker will go to a network where he'll be paid a LOT MORE MONEY and will be a lot happier. And then the goose steppers here will be beeching and moaning about how mean his replacement is. Conservatives who are too close to this claim that Tucker was the only reason they watched Fox and now it is going to go down the tubes, just like Bud LIte did. (This pisses me off to no end because it puts me in the position of being almost a MODERATE, and I have almost as much contempt for moderates as I do for liberals. Rather, the businessman side of me realizes that Tucker's leaving will not cause loyal Fox viewers to switch off Sean Hannity, Greg Gutfield, Jesse Waters, et all. So I'm a little ticked at BOTH sides of the aisle for the !diotic reactions they are having.) Fox will STILL be the highest rated and the BEST AND MOST BALANCED news source in the universe. It didn't depend totally on Carlson. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX still has the Smartmatic and Grossberg cases pending, as well as shareholders suing the directors. They will still be in court over this long after Rupert is pushing up daisies.

Michael Hardner Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 So, let's recap... The Murdoch family, the greediest lying asshats on the planet, owned a TV network with the most visible lying asshats on the planet, selling lies to dupes who were begging for them. Then the biggest asshat, the one with the biggest ratings went over the top with the lies thinking he would never be fired or sued. The asshats all got sued, and then the biggest asshat got fired. Are there still some chumps on here clinging to those fabulous lies? It's hard to imagine living that way, isn't it? I just get confused when I try to imagine the internal rationale for that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
