I don't think this post will age well as I suspect Grossberg won't be working for FOX for much longer. FOX "news" no likey when their workers show spine.At least someone at Fox has some balls.

Abby Grossberg, at the request of Faux attorneys was coached to lie. But the Dominion lawsuits did not, as per plan, go away. That means Abby Golberg can be prosecuted for perjury and conspiracy. If she had some decent lawyers, it is obvious she was told she had few choices to avoid a lot of very unpleasant legal problems in the future.
What legal issues will be problematic for Faux Noise remains to be seen. Possible disbarrment for these lawyers might eventually happen. And testimony of who at Faux OK'd this perjury, or knew about it will be interesting to find out, might be serious for some Faux managment persons.
You just know lawyers at Dominion and Smartmatic are popping big bottles of champagne over this grand news story.
Yeah, the damage to their reputation pretty much means the damages are the total future value of the business. Faux is going to have to write a very big check.
So Fox lost their Motion for Summary Judgment today. That’s a big deal. The Judge categorically rejected any claims about Dominion votes being fraudulent were true. Not that I expected anything else.
The problem with any settlement is that the damage to their reputation is done. Despite victory, Republicans are going to punish the company. It will likely never get a contract in any red state. Or borderline state either. Dominion can’t sue every schmuck who makes these dumbfuck claims. The damages are lik total. Plus punitive damages adding significant more.
This will prevent a settlement. Dominion will need things that Fox can never do, like an on air apology. Fox needs a confidential settlement, and Dominion won’t accept that.
Fox failed to meet its burden. The evidence developed in this civil proceeding demonstrates that is CRYSTAL clear that none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true.
The statements at issue were dramatically different than the truth
Second Circuit held that defendant’s failure to reveal facts and plaintiff’s side of the story was not disinterested reporting,518 FNN’s failure to reveal extensive contradicting evidence from the public sphere and Dominion itself indicates its reporting was not disinterested.
They probably did. Dominion has no reason whatsoever to settle. FOX is fucked. Maybe if they offer Dominion $1.6b plus legal costs… but I think Dominion going to want to make a lot of noise, drag them through the mud and REALLY fuck them up.Here is the Judge's full ruling.

I'm really surprised FOX didn't try to settle.
NBCNews said:“The Board’s decision to chase viewers by promoting the false stolen election claims has exposed the Company to public ridicule and negatively impacted the credibility of Fox News as a media organization that is supposed to accurately report newsworthy events. The Company is now the subject of two defamation cases, with combined damages claimed to exceed $4 billion,” the lawsuit alleges.
