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?

People like to conveniently forget the connections between Diebold/Premier and Republicans. They also like to ignore the current connections between ES&S and Republicans. Which brings up an interesting observation: with all the noise Fox News, OANN, NewsMax, etc. were making about the election and pointing fingers at almost every election official or company regardless of how minor a role they actually played in the election, can you recall them ever mentioning ES&S? Doesn't it seem strange that the largest election company in the US wasn't mentioned even once?
If I were more paranoid, I'd think this was done on purpose to expand ES&S's market share at the expense of everyone else. When it comes time to replace the old equipment a large number of individuals on the right are going to have bad opinions about those companies and officials that approve of them. There doesn't even need to be a big conspiracy about that, only friends helping friends and self-reinforcing talking points that got out of hand.
