Next up: Smartmatic is suing Fox for $2.7 billion. Expect another huge "settlement."
[quote] More evidence of Fox News' alleged misconduct while reporting the 2020 presidential election could be unveiled by another lawsuit against the media conglomerate, according to a statement from Smartmatic lawyer Erik Connolly.
. . .
Smartmatic, an election technology company rivaling Dominion, is also suing Fox News. The lawsuit, which was filed in February 2021, is seeking $2.7 billion in damages from the media corporation as well as some of its anchors, more than $1 billion higher than the Dominion lawsuit, which sought $1.6 billion in damages before reaching the settlement.
"Dominion's litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by Fox's disinformation campaign. Smartmatic will expose the rest," Connolly said in a statement that was tweeted by Semafor editor-in-chief Ben Smith on Tuesday afternoon. "Smartmatic remains committed to clearing its name, recouping the significant damage done to the company, and holding Fox accountable for undermining democracy." [/quote]

@ElwoodBlues Is Fox owned by Rupert Murdoch?

@helenS The Murdoch family owns just under 40% of Fox, but it's a publicly traded corp. That share - plus being chairman - is enough to give the Murdochs effectively total control.
One could imagine, after Fox pays a few more hundred million to Smartmatic, other Fox shareholders suing the Murdochs for mismanagement. That would be fun!

@ElwoodBlues Yes that's why I asked. Mr Murdoch would probably have to pay a compensation for those losses. Muahahaha

That is very good news! I have never believed that lawsuits is the answer to anything, except now so people will realize the truth! So much damage have been done to the world because of them!
