The judge overseeing Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against Fox News said on Wednesday that he was imposing a sanction on the network and would very likely start an investigation into whether Fox’s legal team had deliberately withheld evidence, scolding the lawyers for not being “straightforward” with him.
[...]
[The judge] also said he would very likely appoint a special master to investigate Fox’s handling of discovery of documents and the question of whether Fox had inappropriately withheld details about Rupert Murdoch’s role as a corporate officer of Fox News.
This one cracked me up:
Dan K. Webb, a lawyer for Fox, pushed back on the assertion from Dominion, saying that both he and even Mr. Murdoch himself didn’t realize he also held the executive chair role at Fox News.
This settlement reflects Fox’s continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards.
Yes, admitting that lying is the only way to keep your Trumplican viewers tuned in, and profits high, is totally a reflection of your commitment to the highest journalistic standards. The math checks out.
And this’ll move the needle exactly 0% for people like Ajax18.
I disagree, it moves the needle backwards, he's even more convinced now of the deep state.

Fox is still facing the 2.7 billion $$ Smartmatic lawsuit. And now there is precedence. Honestly though, I'd love to see the Fox team on the witness stand instead of having these cases settle.

I can't believe Dominion hasn't seemed to have demanded a public apology campaign from Fox on all of their evening shows. That's what annoys me about this, and has damaged Dominion's reputation with me far more than anything Fox ever said about them.
