They Report, A Judge Decides: Fox Braces For $1 Billion Lawsuit Protecting Trump’s Lies
Hope they lose. Fox has been lying to its viewers with the help of people in the government for so many decades.
MSDNC never lies to you? 😂😂
they can use racheal maddow’s defense tactic, no worries
What exactly has fox lied about?
@TruthSeeker08 that covid was a hoax. Does that sound like a lie. How about voter fraud and voting machines changing votes. Sounds like another lie. Most news sources are bias but fox just outright lies.
Is there really consequences?
Talk, talk – show me consequences!
@EyeSMK1 The reason that won’t happen, besides Don’s court record of losses last year, is Trump never wants “discovery”. It gives the prosecution, or if you prefer, the defendants lawyers the ability to go through private data that Trump does not want out. He and his Foundation pled guilty to two counts. One, grifting, and the other lying about other charities. He settled instead of letting them open him up in discovery. However, the Foundstion was ordered dissolved.
@sclogse1 stop with the actual verifiable facts lol
@stopthecrazyguy If anything there will be a “non disclosed” settlement. This is theater.
NO doubt !!!
Show us !!!
😤🤬😤
‘Are’ there consequences? It can take time but every action has a re-action, so scientifically, that’s the nature of physics.
I hope that they win and also get awarded 5 billion in punitive damages !
@Lee Smith He could sue them all and cite Dominion V Fox…
not gonna happen stupid
@Lee Smith No, it was an ACTUAL recorded phone conversation of tRump trying to “pressure” GA Gov Brad Raffensberger to “find” votes (which is illegal) which would not have made a difference in the election outcome anyway
@Judith Sprague that isn’t the governor of Georgia. This is the problem with the internet: you get some surface knowledge of an issue and then feel qualified to form a reasoned opinion.
@Shawnee Anderson so are you trying to claim what he did is legal? It clearly is not and they have hired a big shot racketeering prosecutor to head this case up.
Neer thought i would say this, god bless capitalism.
Funding for socialism needs to come from somewhere.
@J dont be stupid they wouldn’t need funding they’d just steel it
And remember General Michael Flynn is …..”Q”
He’s also a traitorous punk.
This will be dragged out for decades. By the time there is a verdict there won’t be any cable TV.
It will go by the way of tube tv’s
Take the Fox liars to the cleaners , the only way to shut their BS up is a monetary penalty
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow is defending herself in court by claiming her statements on air should not be taken as fact.
@Lee Smith you sure that’s not Sidney Powell , tRumps lawyer
You remember when you were little and you got told on about doing something wrong. Then you got angry and lied about not doing that wrong thing, then looked for a way to get revenge to make them pay for calling you out? Sounds similar. 🤣 cry babies
Much arrested development!
Why do all of these hosts on fox have the most irritating voices in the world. They grate on your senses. For that reason alone. Fox should go down in flames.
they reselling anger and hatred
They also play big on the look like tucker and lou dobbs perfected. I call it the ( I just shlt myself look). The right eat that dumb stuff up so fox plays it up.
Fox news spewed lies through the whole election process. And Dumpty’s followers believed the 💩💩💩
Rachel Maddow is defending herself in court by claiming her statements on air should not be taken as fact.
@Lee Smith no other networks are as bad as Fox, Newsmax and OANN as far as bold, outright lying
not going to change Fox much. they will continue to lie, they will just not lie about other corporations
Sue them for every penny they have.
They said the dominion machines were corrupt in Venezuela remember.
They got very used to attacking those who, for whatever reason, felt or were constrained from filing this sort of lawsuit. They finally got so brazen and entitled about it, they forgot to check and see if these newest targets had any constraint on them. They didn’t. Bluster and spin mean very little in a courtroom. It’ll be like on SNL when Jon Lovitz played the Devil as a defendant on The People’s Court.
Dominion will win.And the lawyer for Sydney Powell saying it was a lie will go to the court as evidence.
How can you say that when they were caught in real time..they were being watched by satellite (looking glass)… you will see
closing fox news by suing them to death,,,ok
the same folks making sure nothing that makes sense get through the house and senate, they will make sure the money is there to pay this
I wonder when a group has to make a giant payout if they deduct it on their taxes.
Why not reinstate the law that required journalists to be evenhanded in their reporting?
Liars saying other liars lied…. well there’s something we see…um,…. every day….
