Will a $1.6bn defamation lawsuit finally stop Fox News from spreading lies? | Margaret Sullivan
Advertising boycotts don’t restrain the rightwing network, but the Dominion lawsuit may succeed in holding them to account
I know there are threads about the actual case but I am more interested in what comes after..
I am not sure that they will. The problem their defence has is that theyhave given the prosecution overwhelming evidence that their presenters knew the so called steal claims were nonsense.
I cant see them stopping their deceptive strategy. I can see them not leaving such a paper trail next time. In that way they will be able to claim innocence and continue to spread lies.
Whether folks continue to trust thm is a different matter. I doubt their core audience will lose much sleep overr the revelations and nobody else really matters.
But how can you believe a word that hannity or carlson say ? Perhaps the Judge will make them apologise on air.
