For this week's blog post, I wrote up the stuff I've been posting about the Dominion defamation case against Fox News Network.https://terikanefield.com/dominion-voting-machines-v-fox-news-and-more/This should answer some of the questions I've been getting.

@Teri_Kanefield Perfect line from Teri: "Democracy will be saved if enough people decide to hold on to the truth, with all of its complexity, and reject lies that make us feel good about our “team” and which affirm our previous biases."

@PDFlynn I would say that's a civil defense lawyer's nightmare.

@Teri_Kanefield Hi Teri. Great post, as usual. My question pertains to malice. If Fox and it’s news show hosts knowingly spread disinformation about Dominion, knowing it was damaging Dominion’s brand, reputation, and undermining voter trust in their product to ethically and honestly protect voter ballots;wouldn’t that satisfy the definition of Malice?Fox knew they were lying, but continued to do it anyways. The minute they were informed their disinformation was severely damaging to an honest company’s reputation, they should have recanted, and told the truth. Fox chose not to, because of viewer anti-truth pushback. They accepted liability.The First Amendment right to free speech is one thing, but if that speech is intended to “do harm”, isn’t that a violation of the 1st A?As an “entertainment” company, Fox may have protection, but as a “news” company, there are certain ethical standards for journalists. Also, the 1st A doesn’t protect Fox if they lie under oath.

@Teri_Kanefield so the report didn’t say whether anyone was recommended for indictment (for election interference) or not?

@deeplyaware The report will say that, but only part was released.
