Judge sends Dominion’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News to trial
A judge in Delaware has ordered a jury trial in Dominion Voting Systems’ blockbuster lawsuit against Fox News, setting the stage for one of the most consequential defamation decisions against an American media company in decades.
Lawyers for Fox and Dominion faced off in court during a two-day hearing for summary judgment last week, with each side unsuccessfully arguing the court should rule in their favor and forgo a jury trial that is expected to span weeks and could further bring to light internal discussions at the network following the 2020 election.
Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis rejected Fox’s attempt to throw out the suit ahead of trial, and he ruled that Dominion has proven the first elements of their defamation claim: namely, that the network’s statements about Dominion and the 2020 election were false.
But he ruled that a jury must decide whether Fox operated with actual malice.
“The evidence developed in this civil proceeding demonstrates that is CRYSTAL clear than none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true. Therefore, the Court will grant summary judgment in favor of Dominion on the element of falsity,” the ruling read.
The network’s lawyers have defended the conservative cable news company on First Amendment grounds, saying the claims being made by Trump and his allies were newsworthy.
“Even if the neutral report privilege did apply, the evidence does not support that FNN conducted good-faith, disinterested reporting,” Davis wrote, also rejecting Fox’s other First Amendment defenses.
“We are gratified by the Court’s thorough ruling soundly rejecting all of Fox’s arguments and defenses, and finding as a matter of law that their statements about Dominion are false,” Dominion said in a statement to The Hill on Friday. “We look forward to going to trial.”
Fox said in its own statement that “this case is and always has been about the First Amendment protections of the media’s absolute right to cover the news.”
“Fox will continue to fiercely advocate for the rights of free speech and a free press as we move into the next phase of these proceedings,” the network said.
The process of discovery has been an embarrassing one for the nation’s top-rated network, with a number of private communications and depositions by leading hosts and executives at the network in the post-election period brought to light.
Internal text messages and emails from top hosts at Fox showed them throwing cold water on Trump’s false claims of electoral fraud but worrying how fact checking those claims might hurt their standing with their audience.
In one email surfaced as part of the lawsuit Rupert Murdoch, owner and co-chairman of Fox Corp., worried to Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott that top hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham “went too far” in endorsing former President Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election, fillings from Dominion showed.
“Maybe Sean and Laura went too far,” Murdoch wrote to Scott. “All very well for Sean to tell you he was in despair about Trump but what did he tell his viewers?”
Davis ruled there was no factual dispute that all of the statements that Dominion is suing over are false.
“Dominion has offered proof demonstrating that the allegations were substantially false,” Davis wrote. “Comparing the allegations at issue to the truth, the truth would have likely had a different outcome on the average viewer, as the statements at issue were dramatically different than the truth.”
“In fact, although it cannot be attributed directly to Fox’s statements, it is noteworthy that some Americans still believe the election was rigged,” the judge added.
A jury trial could force several of Fox’s biggest stars onto the witness stand, with lawyers for both sides last week expressing a desire to call hosts like Tucker Carlson, Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Bret Baier, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro.
Fox’s attorneys and spokespeople have accused the voting systems company of “cherry picking” quotes from its employees to drum up media attention around its case.
Neither side has shown any interest publicly in settling the case, which is unusual given the high financial stakes involved and public relations lashing an open court proceeding would pose to the country’s top cable news company.
Davis’ judgement also came on the heels of a separate lawsuit filed by a former top producer at Fox who alleges she was coached in “a coercive and intimidating manner” to protect executives and on-air talent as part of the Dominion suit.
“They destroy people,” Abby Grossberg, the producer who worked for Maria Bartiromo, Tucker Carlson and other top hosts at the network, said during a recent interview with NBC News. “I realized that the answers that they wanted me to say were putting me in a very vulnerable position to be the company scapegoat.”
Fox has denied Grossberg’s allegations, saying in a statement this week “the assertion that Ms. Grossberg was coached or intimidated into being dishonest during her Dominion deposition is patently false.
“We will continue to vigorously defend Fox against her unmeritorious legal claims, which are riddled with false allegations against the network and our employees,” the network said.
In order to find Fox liable for the damages it seeks, Dominion will have to prove to a jury that the network acted with actual malice, or reckless disregard for the truth, in publishing Trump’s election claims, which Davis, in his summary judgement opinion, determined were false.
A jury trial in the case is slated to begin April 17.

Look who has their panties in a knot.
Florida Republicans advance legislation to restrict pronoun usage in schools
The Florida House of Representatives passed legislation on Friday that would restrict the use of preferred pronouns in schools, as part of a larger expansion of the state’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law.
The bill, which passed largely along party lines, would bar school employees from asking students for their pronouns and sharing their own pronouns if they “do not correspond to that person’s sex.”
It would also mandate that all public schools operate under the policy that “a person’s sex is an immutable biological trait and that it is false to ascribe to a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person’s sex.”
Florida House Bill 1069 expands the “Don’t Say Gay” law’s restrictions on classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade to include prekindergarten through eighth grade.
Materials used for instruction on reproductive health would also now require the department’s approval rather than that of the local school board, and schools would be required to remove materials from libraries and classrooms within five days of receiving a complaint from parents.
The legislation passed the Florida House of Representatives in a 77-35 vote, with only two Republicans — state Reps. Demi Busatta Cabrera and Will Robinson — joining Democrats in voting against the bill.
The vote was notably held on the Transgender Day of Visibility. President Biden commemorated the day in a presidential proclamation that took aim at Republican legislatures across the country that have targeted transgender Americans.
“Together, we also have to keep challenging the hundreds of hateful State laws that have been introduced across the country, making sure every child knows that they are made in the image of God, that they are loved, and that we are standing up for them,” Biden said.

Smartmatic is suing them for even more and more evidence will come out at trial, while discovery for Smartmatic and others who will be suing fox becomes easier with each lawsuit and the accumulating public record of their private conversations, emails and other evidence. Covid victims and entire states might sue them before it's done along with the democratic party claiming fox was in a conspiracy with the GOP. This opens up a real can of worms for Rupert and his minions, aside from what will surely happen to them and those like them, if the democrats should gain power. They will hold J6 style hearings into foxnews after they've had their asses sued off and there is a ton of shit and evidence on the public record.Judge sends Dominion’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News to trial

Wayne like Donald has many sins, treason among them as well as grifting. These assholes have their own foxnews scale scandal and had to move from NY like Trump. IMHO, ya need to win a hat trick in 24 to clean it up and if ya do, fox is fucked and so are domestic terrorists, while HR-1 deals with leveling the playing field a bit. Hopefully Donald and his crazies can help ya get over the top in 24, the timing should be about right for a GOP shit storm this year and next with rats running, squealing and dealing as the hits keep coming.
With any luck Donald will take the republicans and foxnews down with him when he goes. Without foxnews the republicans are fucked and are completely dependent on culture wars, lies and spun reality pumped out 24/7 by fox who provide them with billions in free illegal advertising and this has been shown in court recently. So if the democrats win in 24, they could win bigger than many people think and could remove several supporting pillars of the GOP, foxnews, domestic terrorism, dark money and gerrymandering, along with getting rid of the filibuster in the senate. All this and Donald going down in flames with his minions and perhaps some republican congress people in a big J6 conspiracy trial with rats and receipts.
So, there might be cause for some optimism... there are such things as tipping points, and it appears America could be approaching one.
