TL;DR Summary

One America News and Smartmatic have settled a defamation lawsuit related to false claims about the 2020 election, with details of the settlement remaining confidential. Smartmatic alleged that OAN spread lies to increase viewership and revenue, and the case was one of several filed against right-wing outlets post-election. OAN, known for promoting baseless conspiracy theories, has faced legal challenges and was dropped by DirecTV in 2022. While the Smartmatic case is resolved, OAN still faces a separate defamation lawsuit from Dominion over its promotion of election lies.
