Of all of the cases out there surrounding Trump, this is the case I care about the most, and I hope Dominion wins big.
From what Sonny Hostin on The View has said, a court previously found that Fox News is not a news organization. I think that is one problem for Dominion’s case, but I don’t think it will help Fox enough, because tabloids like The Enquirer in the US (rag magazine) have been sued and lost for lying and defamation.
From what I understand, Fox is saying they were just reporting on what Trump was saying about the voting, but Fox certainly was not clear about that, they never communicated to the public their own questions about whether the information was true, and that there was really no proof. They showed blatant disregard for the damage they could cause to Dominion, the voters, and the country.
In my opinion lying and misleading the public in the manner that Fox News does every day is criminal and does not fall under freedom of the press or freedom of speech. Freedom of the press is to protect the press when they tell the truth. After what happened in the Alex Jones case, I think Fox will be found guilty of something. I don’t know if it will matter if they lose. There will still be people who believe the vote was bad, who will still think Trump told the truth pr won’t care that Trump lied, because in their mind he is the messiah, or at least they think Trump is the best leader for the country, and Fox makes so much money I don’t know if it will matter that Fox has to pay some sort of huge sum.
@gorillapaws When I lived in Tennessee all of my voting was done on touch screen, and I was wary of not having a paper ballot in hand. From what I understand, if there is an audit of the vote, the Dominion machines do print out ballots. I don’t know if that matters if there is a malfunction, but I just thought I would let you know, you might want to research it if you are interested.
