Fox News settles with Dominion for $787m, avoids trial over election lies.
TL;DR Summary
Fox News has settled the defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5m, avoiding a painful trial. The settlement is the largest publicly known payout ever struck by an American media company. Despite acknowledging the Delaware court found some of its election reporting to be false, Fox News stopped short of formally apologising. The settlement means top Fox News talent like Sean Hannity will avoid having to be potential witnesses in the most high-profile media trial of the decade.
