Fox News has settled its defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for a whopping $787.5 million, ending a two-year legal dispute that damaged the right-wing news organization's credibility. In the case that was about to go to trial in Delaware, Dominion had initially sought damages of $1.6 billion for false claims that Fox News had made that Dominion had rigged the 2020 presidential election. The settlement, the biggest publicly known payout in a media defamation lawsuit in US legal history, meant that Fox News executives and on-air personalities won’t have to testify about their election coverage. Though Fox News did not admit on-air that the organization had aired lies, they acknowledged that some claims made by Fox News had been found by the courts to be false. With the settlement reached, Dominion representatives hailed it as a "ringing endorsement for truth and democracy." Fox News echoed this sentiment by saying that the settlement reflected their commitment to the highest journalistic standards. The settlement ends two years of controversy surrounding inaccurate reporting about Dominion Voting Systems made by Fox News.
