FOX settles lawsuit

[adrina]

Does this mean that Fox News isn't really news and that they have no journalistic integrity?

Are they the Ministry of Misinformation?

If you were to ask Tucker Carlson's Fox lawyers, they would tell you that no intelligent or reasonable person believes what they say is true.

If Faux “news” issues a public statement admitting to knowingly lying, should we believe them???

I bet he won't say shit.

Yep.

The problem is, intelligent and reasonable people don't watch his show....

Foxnews *check. The silence is deafening, no mention of the settlement or the announcement that admitting lies reflects their journalistic values.
Newsmax *check. No mention of the case, but a splash about some moron called Hawley who is demanding lower prices for drugs although he recently voted down lower prices for drugs.
OANN *check. No mention, just something about evacuations from Sudan.

Newsmax is preparing itself for the next Dominion lawsuit but they don't have Murdoch's deep pockets. OANN will likely go under when their turn comes.

Lachlan Murdoch has dropped a defamation lawsuit against Australian news outlet Crikey which called him an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the Jan 6 US Capitol insurrection.

Rupert Murdoch’s eldest son, who is chief executive of Fox Corp, dropped his action days after the company settled a US case with a $787.5m payout said to be the largest of its kind in history.

Last August, Mr Murdoch’s lawyers said Crikey published an article that implied he “illegally conspired with Donald Trump to incite an armed mob to march on the Capitol to physically prevent confirmation of the outcome of the 2020 presidential election”.

Our authoritarian president has attacked the law firm that represented Dominion.

President Trump issued an order this week punishing law firm Susman Godfrey, the firm that helped Dominion Voting Systems secure a $787 million settlement against Fox News after the 2020 election.

Trump’s order will ban the firm from accessing government buildings, viewing documents or representing any party that has any litigation with the federal government

Trump’s order is criminal but MAGA sheep will love it because they support criminality and fascism.

Maybe they'll be the ones to push this up to SCOTUS....

Insofar as a law firm is acting with regard to litigation which falls within the ambit of any court would this executive order be construed as an illegal interference with the proper functioning of the particular court?
