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?

    MAJOR
    4a: notable or conspicuous in effect or scope : CONSIDERABLE
    a major improvement
    b : prominent or significant in size, amount, or degree
    earned some major cash

    Seems like the first use of major fits that second definition because we are talking about a potential judgment over one billion dollars. The second use of major fits the first definition because a ruling the other way means the whole case is dead.

    SIGNIFICANT
    2: very important

    Seems like the use of "significant" also meets that definition in the context of the lawsuit. Again, a ruling the other direction means the whole lawsuit is out and there are no more bites at the billion dollar apple.
