Delaware Judge Delays Start Of Dominion’s Defamation Trial Against Fox News
The judge did not cite a reason for the decision.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Delaware judge overseeing a voting machine company’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News announced late Sunday that he was delaying the start of the trial until Tuesday. He did not cite a reason.
The trial, which has drawn international interest, had been scheduled to start Monday morning with jury selection and opening statements.
The start date was pushed back to allow both parties to discuss the possibility of a settlement, the Washington Post reported. According to the Wall Street Journal, people familiar with the situation said Sunday that the conservative network had made a late push to settle the dispute out of court.
The case centers on whether Fox defamed Dominion Voting Systems by spreading false claims that the company rigged the 2020 presidential election to prevent former President Donald Trump’s reelection. Records produced as part of the lawsuit show that many of the network’s hosts and executives didn’t believe the allegations but aired them, anyway.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
Starting Monday in a courtroom in Delaware, Fox News executives and stars will have to answer for their role in spreading doubt about the 2020 presidential election and creating the gaping wound that remains in America’s democracy.

I never thought of that. $10M (about what FNN made off one day's dissemination of election fraud news audiences) and it's a done deal.

The election was 100% corrupted. In fact corruption is so deeply imbedded into the american politics that every election over the past 40 years has been corrupt.
Only a fool would think otherwise.

Such an inspirational, fact based message. This and the assertion that America is not a democracy (aka "mob rule") ought to be front and center in right wing messaging. Throw in how right wingers cast themselves as patriots for trying to violently overthrow an election and I'm sure that will be a winning strategy to make America great. Sarcasm intended.
The GOP lost its way and most of the people who still support it are those for whom democracy is a little too tough for to understand and participate competently. The shortcut for those folks is to vote for people who hate the same people as them.
With regard to elections, only a fool would think that the absence of evidence is proof of a fact or that actual proof of a fact is evidence of its non existence.

They have yet to apologize to their viewers, the people whose lives the fucked up, the general public and the broken families. Their lies caused much more harm than to just to Dominion voting, there is much unaccounted for and that is the job of congress, if the Democrats win enough in 24. Destroy foxnews and any like them for your own preservation, and at least keep these kinds of things off broadcast and cable TV to protect the most vulnerable and weak minded from victimization. Foxnews never had viewers it served, it had suckers and victims it used, until they radicalized them so much that they lost control of them and were led by the mindless mob instead of leading it.

there are independent people who monitor our elections, and they were not corrupt, and anyone that thinks they were is a qanon believing moron.
Offer any kind of proof that isn't directly off of a Qanon or white supremacist website? Your feels" are not now, nor will they ever be, proof of anything except your own paranoid delusions.

Despite everything Trump and his followers did to wreck the election. They disenfranchised millions for no good reason, they took away voter drop boxes and posted armed "observers" at the ones they couldn't, by law, remove: they slowed down the mail service; in blue districts, they had fewer voting sites and gave them shitty poorly maintained equipment; in red districts they had many voting sites and gave those the best equipment. At each and every turn, when they could, they did all they could to give Trump the advantage. To give themselves favor to win the House, they Gerrymandered the shit out of their states.
Despite all of that. Despite everything they did. They lost. They lost the popular vote too. By a whopping large margin.
After that, they spread lies about the election and the President of the United States conspired with other people in power to overthrow the election. Together, they organized an armed and bloody insurrection.
Through all of that our democracy survived and the election was the cleanest this country has ever held.
Only a fool would think otherwise. We have a lot of fools in this nation. But those who can see clearly outnumber them.
So suck it.

The 2020 election was the cleanest election this country ever ran. But you know what? Unlike in Russia, China and many of the deplorable countries in the Middle East. Such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, it's perfectly OK for you to lie your ass off and say what you just said in the US of A.
I'll take democracy over what Trump was planning. Eff that.
Only a fool would say otherwise.

If you are implying that the republicans are corrupt, i'll help you...THEY ARE!....
Go look at stories about who gets in trouble for voter fraud. republicans do...i looked, and found one case of minor fraud (one extra vote cast by a husband for his dead wife) by democrats. EVERY other story was about republicans perpetuating voter fraud. Gerrymandering is outright vote theft. So you seem to have one party, the democrats, who are pretty much trying to follow the rules, and you have another party, the republicans who are trying to destroy democracy, and invalidate the votes of everyone who doesn't agree with them...so i agree with you 50%. There was a SHITLOAD of fraud, all committed by republicans, and their friends, russia and china....but not by democrats.

I don’t think it’s a “both sides” type of thing when it comes to election deniers. It was a fair election. The maga faithful went to all lengths to prove otherwise. The Chump spent all the generous donations foolish people are willing to send him (giving money to a dude with a private jet! C’mon, man!), and they found absolutely nothing.
