/9 #Defamation is now on the table for those that purport to be #NewsMedia companies and feel themselves constrained by a modicum journalistic integrity
Many lamented that #FoxDominion didn’t go to trial, however the scale of the $787m settlement has painted a big fat target on #News companies that have deep pockets
Here’s an example of the next wave of suits directed at #Fox.

I think there are many charlatans operating within the 4th estate who have exploited notions of #FreeSpeech to maliciously inject lies into the public forum. That estate has been corrupted in some parts by those whose agenda is better supported by lies. That's why I'm happy at the scale of the #FoxDominion settlement. I believe it has shifted the landscape

I can’t say I’m familiar with the #AbbyGrossberg. Certainly allegations of sexual harassment aren’t surprising given #FoxNews checkered history. In light of the revelations from #FoxDominion I imagine there is likely an electronic trail which will bolster Ms Grossberg’s suit
I disagree on the notion that the #Dominion suit is “Not a loss for Fox”, a few more loses like that….

Rupert #Murdoch’s news empire knowingly lied. Can we just pause to take in how extraordinary that is? - #TheGuardian

I think the landscape has changed as a result of #FoxDominion. The scale of the settlement has put #NewsMedia companies on notice that they can no longer hide behind #FreedomOfSpeech defenses when found to have engaged in malicious #defamation
#FoxNews is staring down the barrel of another defamation suit from #Smartmatic. Difficult to expect that the same pattern of lies will not yield a similar settlement. With that, all of #Fox’s profits evaporate for the year

/8 Why exactly was #TuckerCarlson fired by #FoxNews?
Chances are we’ll never really know as #RupertMurdoch and his corporate lackeys know how to keep their collective mouths shut
Likely, the firing was triggered by financial pain associated with #FoxDominion settlement, a pending sexual harassment suit or the reported general disdain #Tucker expressed to #Fox executives

/7 Many are disappointed #FoxNews will not be subjected to a public trial exposing their willful embrace of the #BigElectionLie. The #HardRight ecosphere are busily selling the shrewdness of the #FoxDominion settlement. Truth is, #Dominion has now shown the way to victims of propaganda outlets masquerading as #NewsMedia. A few more settlements like this and there will be nothing left to be shrew with

/6 John Poulus of #Dominion explains why he settled the #FoxDominion suit rather than going to trial. He lists the 6 remaining defamation cases being pursued by his company - 4 suits against individuals in addition to #NewsMax and #OAN
Further success will have a distinct cooling on those who pursue the #BigLie

In another case of consequences for overt lies, #MikeLindell, aka #PillowGuy, is ordered to pay $5 million.
Maybe the #TruthIsBack? Is this a new era for #journalism? It’s been a good week for those that believe in a responsible #FourthEstate

I expect the settlement will have a cooling effect on #Murdoch and his tribe of blowhards. While #Fox can certainly this settlement, a big fat precedent has been set and all #news organizations are likely calculating their increased legal exposure. Those devoted to bloviated opinion and popularizing falsehoods rather than the hard business of actual reporting will likely have to reconsider their practices.

Senior Counsel Katie Fallow talked to Vox about the #FoxDominion settlement, "Why a record-shattering settlement still might not change Fox News." Her response below & more at the link. https://www.vox.com/politics/2023/4/19/23689770/fox-dominion-pay-settlement-amount-media

/2 While I accept the notion that the $787 m #FoxDominion settlement is certainly bearable, I think the scale of the payment will have a chilling effect on the purveyors of #disinformation. This agreement is not going to give shareholders of Fox Corp a warm fuzzy as it disrupts a #news business model predicated on lies and will take a huge chunk out of this year’s profits - likely more than 50%.

"Fox pays $0.8bn to avoid having to defend its position."

I hope Dominion put some hurt onto Murdoch, maybe make Tucker wear a dunce cap from now on.
