TL;DR Summary

Jury selection has begun in the high-stakes defamation lawsuit between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News, with the trial predicted to last up to six weeks. Dominion alleges that Fox knowingly aired false information about its voting machines and software in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. The company has the burden of proving to the jury that Fox acted with actual malice in broadcasting the unfounded allegations about Dominion. If the jury finds Fox News acted with actual malice, it will also determine whether Dominion is entitled to damages and if so, how much should be awarded. The network's top stars and top executives from Fox Corporation, Fox News' parent company, are expected to feature prominently and could testify in-person during the trial.
