Episode notes

Dominion gets $787.5 million which is about a little less than half of what Dominion demanded in the lawsuit. Fox News's lawyer I think could not have wanted to give an open statement in this case because the judge tossed out all kinds of defenses for Fox said that they couldn't argue that it was newsworthy as a matter of law.

$787.5 million. (To Dominion Voting Systems, averting a defamation trial that could have been disastrous for the network. The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple explains.)

This episode was produced by Amanda Lewellyn and Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and Miles Bryan, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey and Michael Raphael, and hosted by Noel King.
