The parties settled for $787,500,000 — about half of Dominion's original $1.6 billion ask.This won't stop the low IQ folks from claiming otherwise but good for Dominion. Fox had to pay out a solid bit of money and admitted that some of what it was spewing wasn't truthful.
The amount "represents vindication and accountability," said Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson. "Lies have consequences."
Dominion CEO John Poulos told reporters, "Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage to my company, our employees and the customers that we serve. Nothing can ever make up for that. Throughout this process, we have sought accountability," he said. "Truthful reporting in the media is essential to our democracy."
How does this settlement make you feel?
