accusing the network of knowingly airing disinformation about election fraud in the 2020 presidential contest.The trial could set an important First Amendment precedent and shape political coverage by one of America's most powerful media outlets.Successfully suing for defamation in the U.S. is intentionally difficult — but legal experts believe Dominion has an especially strong case., but also must demonstrate malice and that those false statements caused harm.
There also could be shakeups both behind and in front of the cameras at Fox News, as shareholders are unlikely to sit by quietly if a jury awards Dominion what it seeks or more. A Dominion victory also could embolden others to sue media organizations when they feel wronged, although legal experts tell Axios the risk is remote.
"I do think it’s an uphill battle [for Fox]," University of Tennessee journalism professor Stuart Brotman said. "But you have some very powerful, famous media personalities testifying, and jurors can be captivated."Not only would it reaffirm America's very high bar for media defamation, but also would provide Fox News with a legal roadmap for airing future falsehoods.
The network has parted ways with one of the on-air hosts who allegedly defamed Dominion, Lou Dobbs, but continues to employee others, including Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro.The trial could influence how Fox News defends itself against other defamation charges, most notably a $2.7 billion case brought by election technology company Smartmatic.
braces, nope
The truth is the shield
Dominion has acted so foolishly and carelessly, that they have written their own verdict before the trail started.
Why use the word 'braces'? If we're Dems we're looking forward to it w/ unbridled joy.Repubs re dreading b/c their base will b learning truths they don't want them to know. Only the media r bracing b/c y'all know it's going to be a plethora of info to cover & may miss some clicks
One half of the country braces itself, and the other half doesn't even know it's happening.
Pretty sure Fox is the one bracing. Rest of just laughing our asses off
America braces?
No one cares except the left-wing media.
I think all the public information means the only thing America is bracing for is the extent of the punitive damages for malicious defamation.

Braces? Don't you mean gets the popcorn ready?
