"Fox News said in a statement that it “acknowledges” the court’s findings its statements were false, although there was no apology. Moreover, the settlement comes after ample evidence, now in the public record, that Fox News personalities egregiously and repeatedly lied.

As one of Dominion’s lawyers put it, “The world got to see the documents” showing what Fox News personalities said in private as they were lying to viewers."

Judicial interference with mifepristone. "Once courts dismiss core scientific judgments by the agency, there is no reason to believe they will limit themselves to this one medication. There is already political pressure against vaccines, antidepressants and other psychotropic medication, and certain cell-derived therapies. If judges begin to dictate the terms of medication access, then others will seek to use ideology and influence to advance their agendas." science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc

@gratefuldread blending science w faith is a microcosm of that whole metro area. (Newport News is one of the anchor points of “Hampton Roads” a city cluster that includes the extremes of Virginia Beach and NASA Langley.) Newport News itself is home to the particle accelerator at J-Lab while still widely considered part of the Bible Belt, albeit the northern seam. Then of course you add in a huge proportion of military bringing the backgrounds of everywhere.

Fox News sanctioned for withholding evidence in Dominion defamation case nbcnews.com/media/fox-sanction

"According to a person present in the courtroom, lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems played recordings Fox News producer Abby Grossberg made during 2020, which were not handed over to Dominion's lawyers during discovery.

"Grossberg, a former producer for Fox hosts Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson, has sued Fox News and said her deposition was coerced. In an amended filing Tuesday, she said she had recorded conversations with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and others.

"The sanction gives Dominion a chance to conduct another deposition, at Fox’s expense."
