Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit against Fox News for airing bogus allegations of fraud in the 2020 election is set to begin trial on Monday, April 17, 2023, in Delaware. FILE - A person walks past the Fox News Headquarters in New York, April. 12, 2023.

NEW YORK — The Delaware judge overseeing a voting machine company’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News announced late Sunday that he was delaying the start of the trial until Tuesday. He did not cite a reason. The trial, which has drawn international interest, had been scheduled to start Monday morning with jury selection and opening statements.

The case centers on whether Fox defamed Dominion Voting Systems by spreading false claims that the company rigged the 2020 presidential election to prevent former President Donald Trump’s reelection. Records produced as part of the lawsuit show that many of the network’s hosts and executives didn’t believe the allegations but aired them, anyway.

WHAT LIES?

Justice delayed equals justice denied

Election was stolen. If you voted for Biden & this mess, you need to reevaluate your common sense. Lib media covering for the most corrupt potus, FBI & DOJ. Tyranny is upon us.

Dominion should not settle as it is not about the penalty but about the death of truth…

What “lies” are you referring to exactly?

Leftoids have feelings?🍼👶🤡🌏

Good, so the people can sue the rest of the news for the Hunter Biden shit and the COVID shit? Those lies caused a whole lot more damage…

Joe Biden is illegitimate and the more you people lie the more sure we are.

Libel against Fox News.

100% guilty. Next.

Trump won and you know it.

Someone has to be held accountable for the stolen election.

They are settling out of court.

All the irregularities will be delivered via mainstream media and nothing will stick because the data was deleted Sep 2023 but it’s like a spouse who’s cheated too many times. The trust is gone and now it’s time to start taking inventory

Will come out in trial, but dates were not on all Fox coms released by Dominion so ukn when Fox decided Powell & Rudy had no evidence for their claims. Until then, Fox personalities were airing what they were told while personally having doubts.

I guess we only do the ‘alleged’ thing for our allies now.

Time to pay up…FOX Entertainment losers.

a_pinsent Roh-roh..

Good. Let all the evidence come out.

Have you said out loud where the “lies” started yet? Or are you still tap dancing around with semantics when it comes to Trump?

Noooo! Fox needs to be exposed 100% no deal!

They're voting machines malfunction during the 20/20 elections. Or they were easily tampered with. How can they defend Fox from telling the truth.

Fox having perfected opinion as news seems to have set the precedent used by the author to structure this article.

Murdoch. Pecker. Trump. Musk. They all use disinformation to make a buck. But the buck never stops with them when things go awry.

Hahaha I love seeing fascists kneel and cry.

Sooner or later Fox will pay.

It was delayed by a day so Dominion can decide to take Fox's offer of settlement.

Do I smell a settlement?

How about this? Is this a lie?

WhiteHouse should lay down a marker. If FoxNews loses or settles the Dominion case: Removal from the Press Gallery. No Government Official may be on Fox in Official Capacity. No Cable packages will include Fox News or affiliates on federal territory.

Expose Fox News! Put Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham on the stand!DominionDoNotSettle

Fox News and 2020 election lies set to face jury come MondayA trial beginning Monday in Delaware will force Fox News executives and some of the network's stars to answer for their role in spreading doubt about the 2020 presidential election. Jurors hearing the $1.6 billion lawsuit filed against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems must answer a specific question: Did Fox defame the voting machine company by airing bogus stories alleging the election was rigged against Donald Trump, even as many at the network privately doubted the false claims? The trial will also test press freedom and put a spotlight on the flow of misinformation that helped spark the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. No other company deserves what's coming their way more than Fox. Now do CNN and Russiagate or MSNBC and literally everything that spews of of their mouths. Not false when media, big tech hid truths that changed outcome.
