Dominion Voting Systems filed a massive defamation lawsuit against Fox News on Friday morning for boosting ex-President Donald Trump’s evidence-free accusations that their ballot counting tech was fraudulent.
If Dominion does nothing but damp down the right wing noise machine, they will have performed a singular service for the country.
I’m hoping they achieve more but that, in and of itself, would be a great accomplishment.
The three person Board of Stark County Commissioners in Ohio rejected the purchase of more than 1,400 new Dominion voting machines. The county’s Board of Elections had recommended the purchase, but the three members voted to withhold the money for the purchase following pressure from supporters of former President Trump, who falsely accused the machines of manipulating vote tallies in President Biden’s favor.
I hope Powell, Giluliani and Fox all lose bigly because of their complicity in the false accusations of voter fraud and the cloud of mistrust of Dominion’s voting machines.
Unfortunately, their viewership will hear from Faux News that Faux News is being sued for having an opinion and defending t**** for having a strongly held belief. And…they will fall for it…again.
I think they are suing the small fries for publicity, as a cautionary tale for next election but maybe also to get them to flip on Fox News. Maybe some hosts talked about this was all bullshit, but great for ratings.
