"It's a Settlement That Never Should Have Happened…Something Else Had to Have Been Involved." – Harvard Professor and Attorney Dershowitz on FOX Settlement with Dominion
[Gateway] The likelihood of FOX News winning a case with Dominion was better than 50% says Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz.

Attorney and Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz was on Lindell TV last night with Brannon Howse to discuss the FOX News and Dominion settlement that was announced this week.

FOX News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Machines $787 million in a settlement. This astronomical amount was shocking to all who read about it.

Dershowitz shared that the most shocking thing about this settlement is "that it happened"

#1 It wasn't a "settlement" it was a payoff masquerading as a legal action.

#2 So will the FOX 'investment' get realtime reporting of poll results from Dominion machines for 2024?

#3 /\ The upcoming Paula Broadwell - Tucker Carlson biography effort and resignation will have to play out first.

#4 Tucker has better taste than that, but the Petraeus fail remains truly shocking to me, so perhaps there is truth in "feet of clay"?

#5 I think the problem for Fox was that they didn't always weasel during reports, e.g., 'we have an allegation that...'. There were probably some very nasty things said that Fox didn't want to come out during trial, e.g., "I don't care if it is true or not, I want this on the air NOW"

#6 Settlement/payoff is a reasonable theory.
Another is that Fox looked at the judge and potential jury and decided they were going to lose.
Hard to tell without more data but something is hinky. Inquiring minds want to know!
