Let the games begin.
Fox Reporter gets tossed from courtroom for violating 'no photos' in courtroom rule. Whine's "But people are tweeting."
Meanwhile, more idiot MAGAts, driven to hysteria by Fox' pro-shoot first agenda are killing innocent women and children for turning around in the wrong driveway or ringing the wrong doorbell.

Guns are the leading cause of death for American children.
Yet folks on the right think it's the governments responsibility to protect children from drag shows but not from being shot to death.
Hypocrisy of the highest order...

The settlement includes a $787.5 million payment from Fox. So is that the floor for the Smartmatic case (which is more of a slam dunk than Dominion)?
And will Fox have to make an on-air apology (or apologies)? I'm betting no apology or even acknowledgement by Fox that it lied. Will be happy to be proven wrong.

For Fox "News" $787.5 million is just the cost of doing business...
That business is spreading lies, misinformation and fear.
Does anybody wanna guess what story Fox "News" will not be covering this evening?

Sorry to bring the disappointing news that Fox did report this story, starting with Neil Cavuto's show that airs at 4PM Eastern.

Hi Sano,
I clicked your link, found no mention of Dominion...did see that Biden is a fool,
children are in danger (but not from guns) and civilization is unraveling!
But no mention of election lies from Fox.
Do you have a link?
TIA

Hi Mike,
Not disappointed, happy to hear! I was hoping that Fox admitting that they lied to their viewers would be part of the settlement.
(Only a dolt would get his news from a source that admits lying to you.)
But alas, I clicked your link and found no mention of Dominion...I did see that Biden is a fool,
children are in danger from drag shows (but not from guns), civilization is unraveling, Disney must be stopped,
Bud Light should be cancelled, and M&M's are a disgrace to America...
But no mention of the election lies from Fox.
Do you have a link?
Thank you so much

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6325215565112That's pre-trial. As bighairymike wrote upthread, Cavuto spent a minute on it at 4 PM ET, otherwise, not so much. Kind of a let down by Dominion but more trials to come.

Even entering "dominion" in the search field at foxnews.com doesn't uncover the well-known dollar amount of the settlement. And the most recent story is still from 11 hours ago, which includes the claim that "Fox admitted no wrong doing". Um, sounds like Fox's public statement acknowledging that certain statements it made about Dominion were false, is exactly that. Fox won't change until they are forced to pay MUCH more and are forced to display a prominent permanently fixed disclaimer at the top of every page that "Some statements are for entertainment purposes only, and don't necessarily reflect the truth or reality."

LurkerMom: Evidently you missed post 1396.
Umm. I clicked your link. It went to a two-day old video and nothing else on the page related to Dominion. This new link is a local Fox affiliate (Detroit), not national.
But do keep trying.
Anyway, none of these relate to BROADCAST news.

VSG - I am glad to hear all that true information about Biden, children being groomed, and Bud Light stepping in a woke pile of poop is getting some attention.
However, I posted no links at all. I just mentioned that Neil Cavuto covered the story on his 4PM cable news show. Not all news comes via the interweb.

LOL....No, you keep on trying. Millions of TV viewers do not watch cable news where as millions upon millions watch their local news channels and actually watched the report of the nobody cares except the left news story of how FOX lost and has to pay an enormous fine.

' However, that is where the trial came to an end. A lengthy, unexplained delay took hold, which stretched from one hour, into a second, into a third.
Then shortly, before 4 p.m. Tuesday, Judge Davis called the jury back to the courtroom and announced, "the case has been resolved." He then dismissed the jury.
The trial had been expected to last up to six weeks.
The Associated Press is reporting that FOX settled the lawsuit for $787.5 million.'

I checked out FOX news soon after I heard of the settlement and they did have a story, way down on the front page. It appears that story has now disappeared. The only admission made was something like, "many people and organizations made fraudulent claims about dominion voting machines", without specifically mentioning fox. The article went on the quote the judges praise for the way both sides handled things. It was the ultimate spin.

I didn't think it was a let down because:
1) Fox News' $787.5 million settlement with Dominion is the largest publicly known defamation settlement in US history involving a media company. Fox making history!
2) We got to see what some of the folks at Fox really thought and this stuff is priceless!...
Tucker Carlson had some classics,
"I hate him (Trump) passionately."
And "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait." -Tucker Carlson
And "The last four years. We're all pretending we've got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn't really an upside to Trump." -Tucker Carlson
Rupert Murdoch said, "His businesses are now ruined! Who is going to throw a party at one of his golf clubs or hotels? Let alone a tournament. So he has more than just legal problems, bad though they are. The brand is now poison! Who wants Ivanka's fashion lines, jewelry, etc?!"
Hannity said, "I did not believe the election fraud stuff for one second."
Bill Sammon, Fox managing editor, "More than 20 minutes into our flagship evening news broadcast and we're still focused solely on supposed election fraud ' a month after the election.
It's remarkable how weak ratings make journalists do bad things."
Up next the Smartmatic lawsuit which is for $2.7 Billion! Get your popcorn ready!

I just mentioned that Neil Cavuto covered the story on his 4PM cable news show.
Just so we're clear, The 4pm show is about the lowest rated slot of Fox's entire broadcast day. It's the equivalent of a newspaper putting a correction about slandering someone back on page 62, buried in the classifieds underneath the weight loss and lawyer ambulance chasing ads. More than that, making an announcement 'once', when the preponderance of evidence is that you made the false claim hundreds of times on every program on the network (Hannity, Carlson, Pirro, Bartiromo, Dobbs, Fox & Friends, Ingraham, etc.) isn't just too cute by half, it's simply dishonest.
But you want astonishing dishonesty? Here's the Fox statement.
' We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects FOX's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.'
The only ones to suffer from an 'acrimonious trial' would be the Fox personalities and management which put it there - KNOWINGLY broadcasting falsehoods, as their internal correspondences clearly indicate.
You might think the largest single monetary settlement in 1st Amendment history would be worthy of more than 'a mention' on a low rated program on one anonymous afternoon, no? Well, actually no. It's another trait of their dishonesty, that of 'amplification' and 'disregard.' Who remembers how many times we heard 'Hillary's e-mails!' Or perhaps 'Benghazi!'. Or the issues simply made up out of thin air: 'War on Christmas' and the like.
Deciding what to cover is as big a part of their trick as 'what to say.'
I can only hope that Smartmatic takes them to trial, and insists on multiple, repeated, loud, serious public retractions and apologies. You know, like Murdoch did when he closed down one of his London newspapers after the ethic-free journalists he hired there wer caught invading the voice mails of dead children, celebrities, and the Royals. That one cost him more than the $787 million in this one, but I have hope that this one will cost him even more.
And even then, I suspect he, and the company, will learn nothing from it, as they have so aptly demonstrated thus far.

Just to clear things up, my comment above was in response to someone not finding info in a link I posted. My comment was to disabuse that person of that error. Mine wasn't a comment on the ratings achieved by any particular program.
Even if Cavuto was among the highest rated programs on cable news, you know like CNN, you still would not be satisfied, and not even if Fox had shown Rupert Murdoch with his testicles hooked to a car battery confessing to a panel comprised Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, and two journalists from The View.

What Trans-Taliban doesn't understand.....
Is that Drag shows - right - do not kill anyone.
BUT they fire up the other side. Give impetus to the extremes.
And - in process - hurt people who want to govern from the middle.
The NRA wins.
I know there's no reasoning with Taliban on either side. I get it.
Sadly, we're all "getting it" each week now.
