False assumption. How do you know Fox was not paid a billion dollars to help Dominion salvage their damaged reputation so they can keep on flipping votes with impunity?

I already posted the evidence Dominion voting machines flipped votes. Why are you denying facts?

Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox for $1.6 billion, claiming the news outlet repeatedly aired allegations that the company’s voting machines were rigged against Trump in 2020 while knowing the accusations were untrue.

On the TV news they reported that the accusation was Dominion voting machines flipped votes, but it was "rigged", not flipped. I think rigged implies Dominion flipped the votes intentionally and there is no evidence of that that I am aware of.

That is why Fox settled. That and they will not have to pay anywhere near the $787.5M people think they will.

“You think”.

See your mistake there?

Everything I wrote is accurate and I provided my sources. Stop lying.

I don't know why Fox settled without a fight. The news media lies all of the time and even if proving with emails that someone knowingly lied is horrible them Fauci is just as horrible if not more horrible. Dominion said Fox's lies caused Dominion harm to their business, but Fauci lying about face ma ...[text shortened]... s an indisputable fact. See the proof I provided above in my last post before this. It is all there.
Literally everything you right is someone else’s lies because you do not even have the imagination to make up your own lies.

How to know? That's an extremely speculative conspiracy layered on top of another unproven conspiracy theory. Very unlikely.

Maybe Fox just lied because they were financially motivated to tell lies to viewers instead of the truth. Those lies took hold and were repeated so often that people think the lies are truth.

Fox were chasing ratings because ratings translate into bucks. Simple as that. Truth, journalistic responsibility, professionalism, accurate reporting, accountability, were merely collateral victims. All Fox ever had to do to cover their sorry butts was to preface every one of their 'reports' with a disclaimer: something along the lines of "this is what Donald Trump says, but there is so far no hard evidence to back up his claim."

Could things be that simple?

I think not. Fauci, JFK, Manson and the moon landings must have something to do with it. Surely?

Fox lied? No, a specific person working for Fox lied. Who was it?
It was not Tucker. He simply said Dominion voting machines had all sorts of problems and that is true.

What mistake? The corporate news media said the lie was that Dominion machines flipped votes and that was 100% true. They never said "vote rigging" on the TV news.

If they were chasing ratings they would have done everything possible to keep Tucker since he had the highest ratings on Fox.

Tucker did not claim Dominion "rigged" the elections. He merely said Dominion voting machines has all sorts of problems and that is true.

They did not have problems. Any evidence - literally anything - showing that the statements made by foxnews about dominion voting machines were factual would have cleared them of wrongdoing in this lawsuit.

If you believe a verifiable pile of compelling evidence exists implcating dominion why wasn't it presented in this trial or any of the other election fraud lawsuits?

Fox news did not say anything. You need to separate individual statements of Fox news hosts from Fox news. Not every Fox news employee said Dominion "rigged" elections.

Who said Dominion "rigged" elections and did that individual lose their job?

Why do you keep putting the word rigged in quotes?

The lawsuit alleged that Fox news intentionally and falsely blamed dominion for trump's loss, defaming the company. The company's reckless disregard about airing the fake info amounted to libel against dominion.
