After the summary judgement from the court that the network stars and the management told and supported lies to keep their audience and the money coming in, there wasn’t much left to talk about. Fox looked at the jury to see if jury nullification was possible and decided they were out of luck on that score, too! You know their liability insurers were the ones who made them negotiate a settlement. A company like Fox, with people who happily lie for self interest, has too high a morale risk. Got to put a stopper in it. Get out while the getting is good.
Went to the fox web site this morning and, son of a gun, while everyone else had the news about the settlement fox didn’t. Guess the " We Report, You Decide" has some distinct limitations.
Rupert should have been put in an Institute for the Criminally Insane. Decades and decades ago. At least at his age, he proves the old adage the “only the good die young”
I was hoping Dominion wouldn’t settle. Would have loved to see all those faux talking heads on the witness stand. Hopefully, Smartmatic will take it to trial.
Has Fox spun the story yet so that the “truth” is that they settled only because they knew they had no chance of not being convicted by lying socialist libtard commie coastal elite prosecutors and judges even though they are obviously innocent of all charges?
This is what I expect to read in each and every RWNJ MAGA comment for the rest of my life.
their views what to hear these lies – it somehow makes them feel good about themselves and the pittiful lives – the problem is it can lead to the end of democracy in the USA
This MF helped bring about Dubya, the 2003 Iraq invasion, the Tea Party nutters, Brexit, trump & his trumpy minions, Jan 6th, and eff knows what else in Australia. He has single-handedly done the most damage to democracy in several countries (USA, UK, Australia), nay, the world, than any other person in the last 30 years.
He may have retired. He was close to retirement age. Dan Wasserman who also used to be on these pages is gone to retirement, as has Jim Morin. And there’s not a good market for new cartoonists these days…
Where are you, Matt? The last time an unannounced hiatus like this happened to a cartoonist I read it was Stu Carlson, who had an excuse (having died).

When Matt gets back he’s going have a major stack of “stuff” on his desk. The last few months have been target rich, and the next few should be at least as rich.

Liars get a small bit of comeuppance they richly deserve. They helped the Jan 6th conspiracy. Maybe they should face criminal charges.

They got off too easy. It should have been nothing less than enough money to put them out of business forever.

Dominion now has money (or may have soon) to take on NewsMax and OANN, Rudy and that lady? lawyer.
Smartmatic is still going after Fox and will have all of Dominion’s information.
