TL;DR Summary

Jury selection has begun in Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News over the network's promotion of debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election. The trial is expected to last six weeks and will focus on Fox's election denialism and the role of disinformation in American politics. Dominion will need to prove that Fox acted with "actual malice" in broadcasting false claims about the company and its voting software. The judge has already rejected several First Amendment defenses that Fox hoped to invoke and sanctioned Fox for withholding evidence from Dominion.
