IANAL, but I’d bet 10 dirhams that the defendants lawyers are demanding as much pre-trial ‘discovery’ as they can get away with and at the same time dragging their feet in providing much of anything to the Dominion lawyers. Not an unheard-of tactic, hoping the other guy runs out of money before the case is tried. We shall see
And I hope that when the dust settles, the guilty defendants are saddled with court costs too. I’d like to see Fox News bankrupted.
You and me both! I hope that Biden’s administration can reinstate the rule that Reagan dismantled - that the news must be THE TRUTH!
I’d be cool if they were forced to change the name to
Fox Bullshit Insane Conspiracy Theory Channel

Um, I have no memory of that.
Probably a reference to the Fairness doctrine, which would not have applied to FoxNews (or the internet) anyway.
So would I. But I couldn’t help noticing that FOX isn’t on that list.
Fox was one of the first to be sued by Dominion - for 1.6 Billion back in March.
Also from that article:
In addition to Dominion, rival voting company Smartmatic has also filed a $2.7 billion lawsuit against Powell, Giuliani, Fox News and several of its anchors.
Good. Grind them to dust.
Do stupid things – pay stupid penalties.
Trump really is stiffing Giuliani and this has truly put a hurt in Giuliani’s finances. I mean, you read the stories and all, but when you see that Rudes is offering Cameo messages for $275 a shot, that’s just verification on a whole other level:
(‘Cameo’ is an app which allows celebrities to create personalized messages to their fans. For example, you can get some pop star to say ‘Happy birthday, < name >’ for $500, and then gift that to the fan. Not the worst idea for some professions, but it’s quite embarrassing if you’re the ex-Mayor of NYC and you’re obviously doing this because you got stiffed by Donald Trump, something everyone you knew (including yourself, Rudy, admit it) predicted.)
Wow, talk about pathetic! Even more pathetic is the thought of someone paying for that “service”. Maybe Borat can make use of it
Eh, I can see doing something like this. For example, if Ian McKellan would offer birthday wishes, I’d sure as hell would get my daughter one from ‘Gandalf’. And only one, because that’s the novelty.
What is more interesting, and may be worth its own thread, is what this says about the financial condition of Rudy Giuliani and other Trump associates (at least those that do the dirty work, ala Giuliani, Flynn, Bannon, etc.).
They all seem to be rather… broke. Or, desperately needing free cash flow, to put it kindly.
I believe the term is Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaires.
Yesterday I wrote to the President, HHS Secretary Becerra, Dr. Fauci and the Ad Council to suggest such an ad.
So I could hire him to record a message congratulating President Biden on his victory, or urging the Florida and Texas legislatures to impeach their pro-plague governors, or advertising his role in that Borat film, or…?
You’re evil. I like that.
I try to use the power of evil only for good.
