Now lets look at how the other participants are responding to this case ....Dominion Voting Systems Files $1.6 Billion Defamation Lawsuit Against Fox News
Dominion Voting Systems has filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, saying the network spread false claims that the voting machine company was involved in voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
"Fox sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process," according to the lawsuit filed Friday in Delaware. "If this case does not rise to the level of defamation by a broadcaster, then nothing does."
"Fox endorsed, repeated, and broadcast a series of verifiably false yet devastating lies about Dominion," the complaint says, including claims that the company's software manipulated the results of the 2020 vote.
Uh oh .....Sidney Powell seeks dismissal of Dominion's $1.3B suit
Sidney Powell, the conservative legal firebrand who helped spearhead President Trump's court challenges to his 2020 defeat, is seeking to throw out a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against her from the election technology company Dominion Voting Systems.
In a motion submitted in federal district court in D.C. on Monday, Powell argued through her attorneys that the case should be dismissed because it was filed in the wrong jurisdiction and that the claims she made about Dominion were protected under the First Amendment.
Her attorneys argued that "reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact but view them only as claims that await testing by the courts through the adversary process."
It seems like either Fox, (and other irrelevant defendants), concludes that 76% of Republicans are certifiable loons; or they concede that they're fucked.Despite the fact that he never provided ANY evidence to back up that claim -- and the fact that courts across the country roundly rejected lawsuits on the matter as specious (at best) -- Trump quite clearly convinced lots and lots of Republicans of his false view.
How many? Try 76% of self-identified Republicans in a new national Quinnipiac University poll. That's the number of Republicans who said they believe there was "widespread fraud in the 2020 election."
Yes, you read that right. Three in every four Republicans in the poll agreed with the idea that there was "widespread" wrongdoing in last November's election.
You see; it's very difficult to be the same Network that had, & has polls that measured the effect of the bullshit you were propagating; & simultaneously; try selling the lie to a bunch of Judges; that you are some powerless entity; caught up in the tide of history.
