What are your thoughts on the Dominion voting machine case against Fox news?

Asked by LostInParadise (31928points) April 13th, 2023

I don’t care for either Donald Trump or Fox news, but I am trying to keep an open mind.

One factor is that Dominion not only needs to show that Fox knew they were broadcasting untrue claims about vote rigging, but they also need to show that their intention was malicious. It would seem that Fox acted the way it did in order to appeal to its viewers. They can be accused of acting out of greed, but that would seem to be different from acting out of malice.

Something else I wonder about is whether, as a news organization, Fox needs to be particularly cautious about the views expressed on the show. Might there be a due diligence issue?
