Thursday, Fox was set back in court in a big way. As Katelyn Polantz reports here, "a judge in Delaware has found that Fox News' coverage of election fraud after the 2020 election may have been inaccurate, and is allowing a major defamation case against the right-wing TV network to move forward."
"The ruling will now allow Dominion to attempt to unearth extensive communications within Fox News as they gather evidence for the case, and the company may be able to interview the network's top names under oath," Polantz explains.
For that reason, some media writers are speculating that the network will now try to settle, lest it be subjected to the embarrassment of the discovery process. "Fox loses the key motion; cases often settle at this point," Ben Smith tweeted, "and a settlement here would likely be a big number. It's a very strong case."
On the other hand, Dominion wants to have its name cleared, and a confidential settlement might not seem sufficient.
"At this stage, the court must assume Dominion's claims about Fox News are true," Polantz writes. Still, the judge's 52-page opinion noted that Fox "may have slanted its coverage to push election fraud, knowing the accusations were wrong."
Do something positive.
