Judge rules Fox News liable for defaming Dominion in historic trial.
TL;DR Summary
A judge has ruled that Dominion Voting Systems' defamation suit against Fox News over baseless claims it had cheated former President Donald Trump of victory in the 2020 elections can proceed to trial. The judge also ruled that Dominion had already proved the contested statements' falsity. Fox's argument of a "neutral reporting" privilege that protects it from any liability if it accurately conveys the allegations of newsworthy people was also rejected. Dominion is asking for $1.6 billion in damages, but Fox News claims that Dominion's losses do not amount to anywhere near that much.
