The Dominion-Fox News settlement: A missed opportunity for accountability.

Fox News is set to benefit from a tax write-off from its $787m payout to Dominion Voting Systems, the largest in US history for a libel case. The settlement was reached on Tuesday, moments before opening arguments were to get under way in the defamation trial. The revelation means that the landmark payout might not harm Fox News’ profits as much as expected. The settlement rescued Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, and other big names from being called to testify over the 2020 election lies.
