“They did bring to light a *lot* of embarrassing evidence..."
Except…
Fox’s audience didn’t likely hear or believe much of that evidence.
Whereas, a public apology ON THEIR OWN NETWORK would have at least given some of the “facts” to the Fox audience. https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/110226287128982341
Winning the legal case would not have resulted in an on-air apology either.
Only settlement terms could have ensured that, but it seems Fox was willing to pay a *fortune* to avoid it.
As it happens, Dominion isn't done suing, and Fox isn't done being sued.
Of course! Were I king, that’s how it would have gone. Unfortunately, I’m not king, and my admittedly limited experience with negotiation suggests one doesn’t always get everything they want.
But maybe you have insider knowledge that Dominion didn’t even ask for that? The wording of the settlement seemed like the result of tough negotiation to me, but I’m no expert.
@pwinn “But maybe you have insider knowledge that Dominion didn’t even ask for that?”
You know what? If you want to be a snotty dick, you can do it on your own. Have a nice evening.
I’m sorry I offended you. I think everybody wishes things were different, or even that Fox “News” would go off the air. Clearly passions are high.
@pwinn Perhaps not but part of the settlement *should* have been a public, on air, on network apology.
