The Fox-Dominion Settlement Isn't a Good Argument for Cable News Speech Restrictions

Fox News admitted to spreading false statements about Dominion Voting Systems as part of larger conspiracy claims involving the 2020 election. Dominion got an apology from Fox in the form of $787.5 million. And along the way, the suit pulled back the curtain on internal divisions among Fox News hosts and executives over election-fraud claims. I'd call Dominion's civil lawsuit against Fox a success.

Of course, a lot of folks on the left were anticipating that more juicy revelations would come to light during the trial. Hence, yesterday's news that Fox settled the Dominion suit just as a trial was about to start hasn't been greeted with universal enthusiasm from Fox News haters.
