FOX can’t help but to lie. No matter what the circumstances.

What?! Someone’s holding them accountable for lying?

..and they use the handle 'Dominion'..oh crap!

Democrat appointed Activist Judge?.. it is serious.

🫤

🤔

Unless those—including the attorneys as well as Fox execs—go to jail the sanctions are just money, part of the cost of doing business, and deductible as legal expenses.

Fox spreads lies 24/7. They love to cause division.

Will this trial be on TV?

Fox is a proxy of foreign & domestic enemies of the United States. They will do everything they can to evade responsibility, including engaging in a reckless disregard for the rule of law.

ABC continues its political witch hunt against FOX news. They should be investigating Biden’s personal involvement with Dominion voting machines.

I think a judge should look into the misinformation from your news group as well as cnn, msnbc and so with the coverage of the coven ten kids, Russia collusion, hunters laptop and Biden’s fascist ways seeing we now know his admin knew everything about the trump raid.

Lying everyday, everywhere, including in court Phew!!

mainstream medias promoted misinformations about Russia collusion and no court filings were forwarded to their actions.This one is very damaging of the same groups that were involved in the Russia hysteria are now the subject of integrity for society to accept them

This is serious how Democrat Senators Elizabeth Amy Klobuchar,Ron Wyden, and Representative Mark Pocan raised concerns about vulnerabilities over Dominion Voting Systems equipment The Democratic congress members sent letters to private equity firms about their concerns.

Why does ABC refuse to acknowledge the Biden family’s investments in Dominions election devices.

Alt-left fascists can’t handle that their counting machines are crooked. Why? Cuz crazy alt-left fascists would never win an election. So, the fascist judges and corrupt echo chambers argue it’s inconceivable that a private company (unsupervised) could rig US elections.

Democrats again. That's all this is, purely political.

Yes. Omission is a lie.

LOL, everything is 'very serious.'

I'm just loving this.

On brand.

Misrepresentations?! I’M SHOCKED!!!😏

Wonder what party & candidates this judge donates to

So it’ll be called Dominion News soon.

Serious lies 🤷🏻‍♂️🤡💩🤦🏻‍♂️

This is a great distraction for how the elections are really rigged, mail-in ballots have been rejected by other countries because of their potential for fraud, they were forced on the American people without legislative approval, their very existence is election fraud.

A 'news source' that defends itself, in court, by claiming to be merely entertainment that no reasonable person would take seriously (which I understand Fox has done in the past; I don't know about this case) should have to display, on screen, a disclaimer to that effect.

Activist 'Judge'.. no surprise here

Shut them down.

Explain in Trump language please, like telling a Six year old

Wait wait, Fox acted in bad faith?

Yay!

Colour me shocked

Dominion Can’t Bring Up Jan. 6 at Fox News Trial, Judge RulesA judge ruled Tuesday that lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems may not mention the Jan. 6 Capitol riot during its forthcoming defamation trial against Fox News. There’s correlation so that makes sense to me. It was a mostly peaceful protest. Like March 30. Only difference; democrats are above the law. Momof4Cats4 This is a correct ruling. The court already held the info was false. The sole remaining issue is whether fox knowingly or with reckless disregard of whether it was or wasn’t false, spewed the falsehoods. If so, damages to Dominion are determined. Everything else is immaterial.

Judge chides Fox News over Dominion claim of ‘missing’ Murdoch documentsThe judge in a $1.6 billion defamation case said Fox News has a “credibility problem,” based on the last-minute revelation about Rupert Murdoch’s role at the company, which may have affected his decision-making about narrowing the scope of the case. No sh*t, Sherlock. No kidding. FOX’s on air personalities admitted to outright lying to their viewers. “Credibility problem” is putting it politely. Fox choosing to lie to a judge is not the same as how it chooses to lie to its viewers; there are consequences
