Fox News pursues settlement talks in Dominion defamation trial.

The start of Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation trial against Fox has been delayed by a day, with sources saying the media giant was pursuing settlement talks. Dominion is suing Fox Corp and Fox News in a defamation lawsuit over the network's coverage of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The trial is considered a test of whether Fox's coverage crossed the line between ethical journalism and the pursuit of ratings, as Dominion alleges and Fox denies. Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch is set to testify, along with a parade of Fox executives and on-air hosts, including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro.
