And, if I'm hearing right, Fox doesn't have to apologise, retract, or correct their disinformation.
And no one gets sacked.
They actually issued one of those half-arsed non-apology apologies:
Quote:"We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false," the Fox statement said. “This settlement reflects Fox’s continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.”
'This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards' is pretty laughable. It actually reflects 'we didn't want to go to trial and have people see how utterly horrid we actually are.'
Kind of a shame, really. A lot of people (including your humble narrator) were looking forward to 'the acrimony of a divisive trial'.
