Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News
From “Fox News Is in a World of Hurt“: When it comes to the burden in this case, it falls on Dominion to prove that Fox acted with actual malice when it claimed that Dominion’s voting machines were designed to rig elections. That burden is typically very difficult to meet, but how far does this filing (that Fox knew its claims were false) go towards meeting it?”
Let’s examine this briefly.
Fox invented the idea that Dominion Voting Systems had programmed its voting machines in the 2020 presidential election to covertly “flip” votes that had legitimately been placed for Trump and record them for Biden. Then its executive team made the decision to broadcast that lie hundreds of times over a period of months to its tens of millions of followers.
Was that “malicious?”
Well, imagine you’re a current or prospective employee, and now you’d rather be a greeter at Walmart for $9/hour. Or imagine that you’re an investor, and you now wish you had your money with Bernie Madhoff. If you can’t figure out that these actions against Dominion are “bad,” I don’t know what to say.
