A deserved defeat. They are propagandists

Donnie normally travels by motor vehicle.
Yes, a tractor would be new, but that’s no reason to change just for his funeral.

Faux news viewers will hear none of this, but they will hear it’s part of a plot hatched by George Soros, some stuff about Soros donating to Bragg’s candidacy.

Mrs VM and I are in the market for a new tractor. We thought the 21.5 HP model would be sufficient but perhaps if we went for the 30 HP upgrade we could get the contract

Go for one of those Ukrainian tractor models. They can pull a tank, a bloated putz should be a piece of cake.

- Gawker would have absolutely won on the issue on appeal, but . . .
- Gawker couldn’t put up the money to suspend collection efforts, which would have destroyed the company before the appeal could be completed, so . . .
- Gawker filed for bankruptcy and ended up settling with Hogan for a much smaller amount out of the estate.

As a limited purpose public figure, Dominion is limited by the First Amendment to recovery for actual economic injury. Dominion’s reputation cannot be more valuable than the entirety of the company.

Are you saying that Dominion can’t claim damage to future expected business that is now unlikely to happen any time in the near future?
Let’s say someone damages your house and it costs $1000 to repair. The homeowner could sue the miscreant for the $1000 repairs plus another $2000 punitive. The homeowner in this case has a fixed house and life can go on as before. In Dominion’s case, some of their contracts have been dropped and other contracts will never be made because of what Fox convinced their viewers was true. I’m sure they had business projections for the next however many years which are now so much wastepaper. Even after the lies were proven to be lies, what are the chances that counties in Trump country will ever do business with them, or even not Trump country where election officials don’t want to provoke protests? Doesn’t Fox have any culpability for that?

Am pleased to learn that the judge is performing in such a “fair and balanced” manner…

He’s saying that dominion has (had) a market valuation that already takes into account future earnings, and that dominion cannot seek more actual damages than their market valuation. Well, they can “seek” it, but they ain’t gonna get it.

Fox attorneys had argued that the network was simply covering various sides of an evolving controversy…
Um, does “one” count as “various?”

I think that is the case. They had good growth the past few years, so if they project at the same rate, that could project a very large business. [Hey, are their projections overly optimistic? Why not, everybody else on Wall Street does it!]
“…Dominion’s business suffered enormously, and its claim for compensatory damages is based on industry-standard valuation metrics and conservative methodologies,” …
…In an expert report commissioned by the company, Dominion says it sustained $921 million in damage to its overall value as a business, in addition to $88 million in lost profits. Dominion is also seeking $600 million in lost future profits and an unspecified amount of punitive damages to be determined by a jury.To support its numbers, Dominion claims that at least 20 customers terminated or declined to renew their contracts with Dominion after the 2020 election, and the company says it lost business opportunities with another 39 election jurisdictions as a result of Fox’s coverage.
Exactly!

As Trump has spent his entire life screwing over other people, it warms what’s left of my heart to see a proper screwing of this orange menace. And just think … it’s all in the convenience of one year.
Popok’s dissemination of E. Jean Carrol’s civil suit deserves praise. While it bums me that Trump’s DNA will not be part of the evidence against him, the plaintiff’s attorneys look to have a solid case. Good on them!
As for the recent rulings against Trump and his attorneys – I have no words. But I do have a picture.
