Dominion Voting Systems is preparing to have its day in court against Fox News over a defamation lawsuit amounting to $1.6 billion. The lawsuit, which is set to start tomorrow, alleges that Fox News repeatedly aired false claims alleging that Dominion was involved in election fraud, a claim that has been widely debunked. Dominion claims that the claims were not only defamatory but also undermined public confidence in the integrity of the electoral process. Fox News has denied any liability, claiming that the lawsuit is a "political crusade in search of a windfall" and is a risk to "cherished First Amendment rights". However, the pre-trial rulings have already given Dominion a significant boost in proving its case to a Delaware jury, and many legal experts think this trial is key in determining the future of libel cases against media companies. If Dominion wins its case, it could set a precedent that media companies must fact-check their material before broadcasting in certain circumstances.
