       I'm digesting the opinion now, but it's groundbreaking that the plaintiff could win anything on summary judgment, as a matter of law, here, against a news organization, on a defamation claim. it is bad news for fox, despite the fact that some of the claims will "still" have to go to trial.

       While everyone on Twitter completely misunderstands the ruling because some moron tweeted in all caps something entirely misleading to fintwit like five minutes after my post, but it got more traction, I am just reminded of how much better life is on Mastodon. 😇This opinion is such a huge loss for Fox, and such a huge win for Dominion. It's hard to overstate what a big deal this is legally.

       here’s your visual explainer on the Fox v. Dominion decisionelements of the Defamation Per Se—Teal: Proven as to FNN and FC Purple: Proven as to FNN onlyYellow: Sent to the juryalso note Fox can’t invoke fair or neutral report privilegesif you open up the 130-page opinion above, you'll note that about 1/2 is a walk through each of the defamatory statements and the judge's comments on whether they are statements of opinion or fact. 🥲

       Here's the next important bit — I think ppl are getting tripped up by the one element for trial in the #Fox #Dominion trial: "actual malice" ... it sounds daunting to prove, but it's quite simple. There are two possible ways to prove it and one is super simple."They knew it was false." new highlighting!yellow or teal, pick a path1. knowledge of falsity OR 2. reckless disregard (two purple suboptions)a. entertained serious doubts of truthb. high degree of awareness of probably falsity

       @chancerydaily I had to search. Apparently, according to NPR, the judge wants Murdoch to testify in court at the trial. More still to come...

       @chancerydaily Is there any amount of better lawyering that could have saved Fox here, or are the facts just *that* bad for them?

       @mstevens86 @chancerydaily discovery had a bunch of emails from all levels of FNC saying basically, "we have to lie about dominion or we'll lose viewers."

       @mstevens86 @chancerydaily The "better lawyering" would have had to have happened years ago, and taken the form of specific instructions to never send a goddamn email when discussing illegal shit.Your local weed dealer has better opsec than Fox.

       @chancerydaily Asking as a non-lawyer, what’s left for Dominion to prove at trial?

       @chancerydaily This is a great explainer, with my only criticism being that it required me to try to remember what color "teal" is
