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?

Anyone who says they have done so should provide evidence of their outlandish claims. And the things they were saying are loony bin crazy ravings that don't even pass the laugh test. If Dominion had influenced the results, then bring the evidence as a defense of the defamation suit -- after all, Truth is an absolute defense against a defamation claim. Should be quite simple really.
Not true.
I would like to see a bunch of lying liars who tell outrageous falsehoods, on a supposed "news" network get some actual justice for the damage they have done. What they have done to these two voting machine companies is an outrageous injustice. You would think so too if they had damaged your business and hard won reputation and contracts.
You just want to see an outrageous injustice go unpunished because your God Emperor and Savior would look

Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous. Were you equally outspoken when Hillary Clinton abandoned some special forces people in Africa, and refused to take any action that might have saved them? Never forget, even if she had been correct that our people couldn't get there in time, our people could at least have taken vengeance in a timely manner.
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous. I agree, there have been a lot of outrageous things done in Washington. Funny though, which ones you seem to get worked up about.

Dominion and Smartmatic have nothing ZERO to do with Washington. Or politics. Or politicians. Or Trump. Or Hillary. Or any political party.
This is about a "news" organization spreading lies (not political speech at all). Causing substantial material damage. And the individuals who created and spread those lies.
Saying someone's stand alone machines that don't have internet connections are connected to Italian satellites or to a dead dictator is a lie that is verifiably false at the time that lie was uttered. It would have been easy to fact check that these models of machines have no internet connections. On purpose.
Dominion lays all this out in its lawsuit.

Whatever, Danny. You're beating a dead horse. You're wrong on most counts.

Voting machines must be right on all counts.

A summary of this individual's lies:
Why should the guy be moving for dismissal? All he has to do is demonstrate that his lies were the truth. Truth of the statements is an absolute defense.
