At least this is a defamation case so it has a chance of sticking. Fox has been sued various times in the past for telling lies and it never sticks. Fox's lawyers argue that Fox doesn't provide news, it provides entertainment and parody. The name of the show just happens to be Fox News. And the case gets thrown out.

But defamation is different. It will be harder to hide behind the "parody defense".

@shuttersparks we need the truth to win once in a while! Making lies is so easy, and defending the truth takes great effort. Fox really did a DDOS campaign on the US public.

@Jirikiha That's a good way to put it. Gingrich is sometimes credited with the idea of "flooding the zone with shit". But in the modern era it was Mussolini who came up with this tactic.
