Fox News agreed to pay Dominion $787.5m for claiming that the Dominion voting machines were rigged against the Republicans.



Dominion chief executive John Poulos told a press conference the "historic settlement" included Fox "admitting to telling lies, causing enormous damage to my company".


"Justin Nelson, a Dominion attorney, told reporters that "the truth matters".

"Lies have consequences," he added. "Over two years ago a torrent of lies swept Dominion and election officials across America into an alternative universe of conspiracy theories, causing grievous harm to Dominion and the country."


"Fox still faces a second, similar defamation lawsuit from Smartmatic, which is seeking $2.7bn from Fox for allegedly spreading allegations that the firm helped "steal" the 2020 election."

All of which leaves this man looking rather sillier than usual.
