[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] For any that missed it. The whole premise for the machine 'miscount of votes' saga may be crap.
  • Opening statements in Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6billion defamation suit against Fox News were set to begin today in Delaware Superior Court

  • After an hours-long delay, Judge Eric Davis entered the courtroom just before 4pm and dismissed the jurors, saying, 'The parties have resolved their case'

  • The voting machine company had accused the cable news network of 'giving life' to a 'manufactured storyline' about voter fraud after the 2020 election

#1 Dominion was sold to Staple Street in 2017. Enterprise value was about $80M at the time.

Obviously Fox didn't want a trial.

#2 This has nothing to do with whether or not what they were reporting is true — we all know it was — but the cost of fighting in court versus quietly making it go away. This is like Donald Trump’s lawyer paying Ms Stormy Daniels to shut up.

#3 Neither side wanted discovery.

#4 Actual discovery would have nailed Dominion to yje wall. I seem to recall the judge stopped full discovery.

Fox called the fraud election early while they simultaneously kept changing Trump vote count live on air. I watched it.

Personally I thick this was a complete show trial and the Murdoch kids will be reimbursed by their fellow leftist conspirators.

Paul Ryan is still on the board?
