Dominion v. Fox News trial puts journalism on trial.
TL;DR Summary
The Dominion Voting Systems trial against Fox News begins on Monday, determining whether the network can be held financially liable for publishing the false claim that voting machines rigged the 2020 election. Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion in damages and must convince the jury that Fox News and its parent company, Fox Corp., acted with “actual malice” when it aired those conspiracy theories. A victory for Fox News may fuel lawmakers’ efforts to limit the protections media outlets enjoy, while a victory for Dominion could fuel copycat lawsuits. The trial is expected to last 5-6 weeks.
