Even if the full amount is awarded, it will not sway Fox to change it ways. They make many more billions off of the stupid and naive. The cost of this will not hurt them at all.

In the grand scheme, you're probably right.  Still, no manager likes to make a billion-dollar mistake.

In March, 2020, their stock lost a third of its value - $4 billion in market value.  Perhaps that's what Tucker Carlson was bitching about in that article.  It's mostly recovered now.

If they do end up paying a billion on this one case, Fox should, at the very least, tighten the chain on their 'anchors' before they pull the company underwater again.

Apparently, Rupert Murdoch was unusually forthcoming in his depositions for the Dominion lawsuit.  He admitted he knew that his 'commentators' were peddling false information about the 2020 election.  He also said he could have kept Rudy Guiliani and Sydney Powell and their damaging views on Dominion off the network, but that he did not.

It also turns out that Paul Ryan, who sits on Fox's board of directors, implored Murdoch to "move on " and "stop spouting election lies".  This adds to Murdoch's problems, as it opens the door to shareholder lawsuits.

Some also wonder if Murdoch's admissions will drive viewers away from the network.  Maybe so, but I wonder if their viewers actually look to Fox for factual information or for 'alternative facts' to support incorrect beliefs they already hold.

Somethin' tells me Murdoch's problems are about to get bigger and hopefully make the cost of spreading lies so expensive that few, if any, can afford it.

If the punishment is to fit the crime, FOX FAKE NEWS should be shut down and put out of its, and OUR misery......Their bold and intentional LYING to the American people for THEIR financial gain is not Free Speech when the results are an Insurrection...   If there are any rightwing Devotees here,  I apologize if I have assaulted your sensibilities, but your Wizard of OZ has got to Go !.....

Does seem like his problems aren't nearly over.  Will Murdoch ultimately fire someone?

Bartiromo?  Carlson?

For now, the fake news chickens have come home to roost.

As long as Fox maintains the "audience" it has and the "green" keeps rolling in,  NOTHING will happen here except Fox will incur huge financial damages. Their audience loves to be lied to and validated by Carlson and the other "sly foxes" who KNOW the truth but will Never tell it....  It you watch closely, Tucker  always has a little smirk on his face when he is spewing out his "knowing Lies".....He knows he is getting over on them and that they are clueless fools.

Of course Fox viewers will NEVER believe the truth about the network, because if they did, it would make them out to be bigger Yahoos and fools than they really are.... They would rather be Fox conduits than sane human beings.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)
Complicating Dominion Voting Systems’ effort to make Tucker Carlson testify when its case against Fox News goes to trial, the T.V. host has produced a doctor’s note claiming that he would be unable to raise his right hand in court.

According to the note, signed by his New York orthopedist, Carlson sustained “a severe injury to the rotator cuff when he was a Little League pitcher and, as a result, has been unable to raise his right hand for the past forty-five years.”

“Any attempt to raise said hand would result in excruciating, unbearable pain,” the note continued.

The doctor’s note failed to convince Dominion, however, which responded by releasing dozens of photos showing Carlson raising his right hand, including during a mass salute at a Trump rally.

The company also called into question the credibility of Carlson’s orthopedist, Dr. George Santos.

LOL, add to that Rupperts request not to appear and testify because for him "it would be terribly INCONVENIENT"..... Golly Gee, the problems RICH people have.   But there was absolutely NO inconvenience in Fox LYING to its viewers.....  Its all just a matter of perception and PRIORITY !
