Fox News has had very little to say about Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6bn defamation lawsuit for nearly the entirety of its existence, but finally deemed the story worth covering on Tuesday when it announced the parties had settled.
Dominion sued Fox News for defamation, alleging that the Rupert Murdoch-owned broadcast network gave a platform to and failed to challenge conspiracy theorists that suggested Dominion was engaged in voter fraud during the 2020 election. Those conspiracies reportedly damaged Dominion's business and resulted in employees receiving threats from angry Fox News viewers.
