BTW, with everything else that’s been happening, has anyone mentioned the latest on Dominion v. Fox?
The judge granted summary judgment to Dominion on most of the elements, which is almost unheard of in a case like this. He ruled that Fox News’ claims about the 2020 election were a) false, b) about Dominion, c) published by Fox News, and d) defamatory per se. The case is proceeding to trial with only three points of contention:
- Whether Fox Corp, Fox News’ parent company, is liable as a publisher.
- Whether Fox acted with “actual malice”, that is, knowing the claims were false or not caring if they were.
- The exact amount of damages to Dominion.
