Thank you so much for joining me.

We begin with Fox News, settling with Dominion, voting at the last second, agreeing to pay more than 787 million dollars

to avoid the defamation trial over its 2020 election lies, This is according to CNN business. The settlement

came just before the trial was slated to begin yesterday. The in fact lawyers were in the courtroom along with jurors ready to begin

opening statements when Fox decided to settle for this extreme amount not quite what we were hoping.

Those of us who have been following this story we know the danger that Fox News poses to this country and the defamation suit, the billion dollar

defamation suit from Dominion voting was honestly one of the surefire ways that Fox News could be exposed at the level they needed to be exposed,

both in terms of their propaganda, their lies, but also financially,

expose them financially by honestly being rewarded more than a billion dollars.

If they, if Fox News had lost this case,

they surely would have been paying Dominion voting more than a billion

dollars, but in most cases settlements like this are the norm and they are expected and so now we are dealing with Fox News is

spin the no spin zone the fair and balance here is their spin as read by Jake Tapper who got a kick out of the hilarity

and the the absurdity of Fox News asserting their innocence despite settling for 787 million dollars.

Take a listen in.

Fox trying to put a positive face on what can only be interpreted as one of the ugliest and most embarrassing moments in the history of journalism,

Fox issued a statement saying, quote, we are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute.

Dispute with Dominion voting systems.
