"Fox News-Dominion defamation trial begins after delay, called 'once-in-a-generation' case"

The $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News has been delayed by a day, with the judge suggesting that the two sides try to mediate their dispute. The trial, which is expected to last six weeks, centers on whether Fox defamed Dominion by spreading false claims that the company rigged the 2020 presidential election against then-President Donald Trump. A settlement is a possibility, with risks for both sides, as a trial would force Fox to answer for its actions and Dominion could miss out on a big payday if a jury rules against it.
