I wonder if settling, with an admission by Fox, is the best thing, rather than breathless coverage by the media for the next few weeks. Whether Fox admits is likely as big a sticking point as the amount, but to date the Dominion team have shown to be the sharpest knives in the drawer and they've probably got a settlement in mind.
Of course, Smartmatic could still see their lawsuit through, heh.
I'm sure whatever settlement offers Fox make will be heavily predicated upon Fox not having to admit any real liability or wrongdoing, and basically shutting Dominion up about anything found during discovery/investigation etc. Fox will throw a metric f*ckload of money at them, give a quick "We fully accept Dominion systems were not involved in any election wrongdoing" and then make sure they're a lot more suggestive about such things rather than definitive; train hosts to throw in caveats and disclaimers when guests go off the reservation.
I can't imagine that they would take a settlement that doesn't include an admission. The lawsuit is primarily about showing that the accusations that their machines are insecure were lies.
Dominion really have the upper hand here. They can squeeze. Above all, the family don't want to be in the dock, IWT. Full liability and apology minimum along with major cash settlement.

Pi$$ed off the judge ✅
Yep, it's going to go very badly for them
And as if by Magic ;)
I really do hope that all of these truths are actually real (I cannot verify as I have not signed up to the platform).
You'd need an iPhone and a very high tolorance for stupid to go near that car-crash of a service.
But, I fully believe most of these "Truths" to be real. They're about as on-brand for the Orange Lummox as his now abandoned Twitter profile was.
Well, there is a web interface too. Though it doesn't appear to be letting anyone register at the moment.

Drumpf gone back to his German roots.
I see his caps lock is jammed again
Wrong condiment, Ketchuped
I thought he was dead and buried but The Donald is back.
This is a tremendous ad.
Legal Eagle on the Disney screwover of DeSantis
Imagine if DeSantis returned one attacking Trump with Stormy Daniels eating tiny mushrooms.
A delicious Republican bloodbath and DeSantisSanctimonious hasn't even declared yet lol.
I'd say the magic ones would be ideal.
There's at least on DeSantis supporter on here that would disagree
How dare you assume their gender on the fan-supporter spectrum.
In more evidence of GOP projection and depravity.
Trump cheerleader and stop the steal organiser, Ali Alexander "apologises" after being exposed for soliciting dick pics from teens.
Trump's idea of who"only the best" people are?
As the saying goes,"show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are"
Binders Full of Women 2024
'can people please find me the women for the binder? Very TV ready, must have pussy'
Ron must be hoping that he can build enough of a coalition between Republican moderates and independent voters that he can entirely sidestep mud wrestling with Trump, because he knows that if he gets in the mud with Trump, he'll lose and lose badly. Trump is basically a mud monster.
The Daily Best says Trump wanted some guy from InfoWars to give a speech before him on Jan 6th. Who else gave a speech before Trump that day?
Fake News. Misinformation. Alexander is neither a friend nor ally to Trump. Evidence that proves otherwise apart from hearsay =Zero. Try provide actual evidence that ties Alexander to Trump.
What planet are you on?
The Stop The Steal Rally itself was organized by... Ali Alexander.
The Daily Best says [...] Fake News
there there:
He places the blame, among other things on 'honey pots' - it's those damn pretty young boys he tells us they made him ask for the dick pics.
He must be waiting to see how Trump's trials go and hope he can keep his nose clean in the mean time and not piss off the Trump base.
Fat chance of that.
Regarding his last opponent, their corruption trial starts today.
Gillum put out a big public statement hoping to defend himself. We'll see what happens..
What do Dominion get by settling though?
They have Fox dead to rights on this.
At an absolute minimum they should get their money and a very public and oft repeated on air public apology from Fox leadership AND all of the in air presenters.
Who knows if they will settle, but they are well incentivized to try and give it their best shot. Fox News has cash on hand averaging over $5 Bn and Rupert is worth $17 Bn. They could, if they wanted, offer Dominion a lot more than they're asking for in a closed-settlement.
If I were Dominion though honestly there's no settlement amount or wordy apology they could write that would convince me Fox News was contrite about anything other than getting caught. Tucker Carlson would just deadly read the mandated apology and then smirk like he just saw a mexican family getting evicted on the way to work
With this much dead to rights evidence in their favor, there's no sense in not going to trial and putting the Fox brand to account on record.
But Dominion? I have no idea if they operate on sense, and they're worth less (way less) than fox.
