What to Know About the $787.5 Million Fox News-Dominion Settlement
|
[NYT] The 11th-hour deal saved Fox a potentially lengthy legal tangle, though it still faces other lawsuits over its coverage of false claims about the 2020 election.
Fox News’s agreement with Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday abruptly resolved a lawsuit over how the network amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, which devastated Dominion’s reputation and business.
The network had advanced former President Donald J. Trump’s claims, which its own hosts did not believe, that Dominion’s voting machines had been used to tilt the election against Mr. Trump. The trial was set to begin on Tuesday, and gasps were heard in the courtroom when the judge announced the settlement.
Here are the key facts about the deal that ended the case.
What were the terms of the settlement?
At $787.5 million, the amount that Fox News agreed to pay Dominion was one of the largest in a defamation case. Fox was not required to apologize on the air, though it did make a statement recognizing that the court had found "certain claims about Dominion" aired on its programming "to be false."
The settlement carried an implicit plea of "no contest" to several pretrial findings from Judge Eric M. Davis, who presided over the case. He had written in one ruling that it was "CRYSTAL clear" that Fox’s statements regarding Dominion and the election were untrue.
