Newsmax settles with smartmatic.

Pretend news source, and conspiracy news network #3, Newsmax joins OANN..aka conspiracy news network #2...while still waiting on a settlement with conspiracy news network#1-Fox News.

These big paydays being paid out to voting organizations like smartmatic, and Dominion, are likely the only reasons these assholes won't spend the next 6 months lying their asses off about voter fraud in 2004.

Then again, if it's only money and the truth vs ratings, ratings win every time.

Surprisingly the amount of money that was settled on was not disclosed by either smartmatic or Newsmax

Here's the announcement from Newsmax.

I'm surprised it's only that.

I was expecting a headline like "Newsmax celebrates silver medal in the election fraud reporting competition."

Maybe another news organization can provide some more details.

... You fellows got Salty here with better details. (me "insiders")

Reckon both sides just agreed to pick themselves up and head home.
Smartmatic was onto Newsmax for "defamation" while Newsmax's
defence was that it was just printing whatever "facts" about
Smartmatic and machines that other news outlets had mentioned.

... Smartmatic was really after a Punitive damage award $$$$$
and the Judge surely denyed them that. .... So them's the breaks.
And thus - the CONFIDENTIAL settlement was reached.

Therefore, I (and me political insiders) cannot reveal anything
about the settlement because it's Confidential. .... Sorry.

I'm sure we'll find out what happened just in time for the next election denial cycle.

But ye surely spin a good tale.

... I can give you fellows MORE information, and I'll do so Friday.
Just not concerning the settlement - 'cause it's Confidential.
