Dominion Voting wins key decision in lawsuit against Fox News

(don't shoot the messenger unless you intend to ask questions later)
I'll only quote facts reported in the article rather than any opinion. Each fact is either true or false, regardless of the source that reports it.

1: A judge in Delaware has found that Fox News' coverage of election fraud after the 2020 election may have been inaccurate, and is allowing a major defamation case against the right-wing TV network to move forward.

2: Judge Eric Davis of the Delaware Superior Court declined to dismiss Dominion Voting System's lawsuit against Fox News in a significant ruling Thursday.

3: The ruling will now allow Dominion to attempt to unearth extensive communications within Fox News as they gather evidence for the case, and the company may be able to interview the network's top names under oath.

4: Davis called out, in the 52-page opinion, that Fox News may have slanted its coverage to push election fraud, knowing the accusations were wrong.

5: Dominion alerted the network's anchors and executives to information that disproved accusations of widespread vote-switching following Donald Trump's re-election loss, the judge noted.

6: The lawsuit alleges Fox News personalities including Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro, Sean Hannity and their on-air guests Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell spread lies about fraud in the 2020 election that hurt Dominion's business. It is one of several lawsuits Dominion has brought related to right-wing claims after the election, and is a major win for the company.

Was there bamboo on the ballots? Did the voting machines have constant contact with servers outside the US via Italian satellites?

    political bullshit

    You've totally lost touch. This is (one of several) defamation lawsuit filed by a commercial company.

    Dominion is rightfully upset at those it has sued. Those it has sued told outright verifiable LIES causing financial damage.

    1. This is a commercial company.
    2. They make equipment for voting. Their interest is to make equipment that is accurate.
    3. Fox News, Lou Dobbs, Sidney Powell, Rudy Guiliani and others made numerous false claims about Dominion Voting.
    4. As laid out in one of my prior journal articles, Dominion's lawsuit is specific and detailed in pointing out these false statements.
    5. These false statements could have been easily verified to be false by either Fox or those making the statements.
    6. These false statements cost Dominion a lot of money in lost contracts, which they can prove.
    7. This lawsuit is real and not a figment of my imagination or some kind of political conspiracy.

    There's a witch hunt at the moment

    Wow.

    You really don't even have a clue what this is about.

    Dems want to test every duck they find to see if it floats or not. Meanwhile - how's the midterm election looking?

    Completely irrelevant and unrelated to this lawsuit by a commercial company and those who defamed it with their brazen lies.
