Fox News settled a major defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million early last week, avoiding a trial that would have been both fascinating and damaging to the news giant. In agreeing to the settlement, Fox acknowledged it repeatedly aired allegations that Dominion Voting Systems voting machines were rigged against former President Donal Trump in 2020 while knowing the accusations were untrue. According to the Associated Press, Fox contended that it was reporting newsworthy charges made by supporters of the Republican president. The network said it was supported legally by libel standards.
