To settle the lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems over false allegations of fraud related to the 2020 election, Fox will pay one of the largest monetary settlements ever in a defamation case. Some critics of the agreement, however, are publicly wondering whether Fox really learned its lesson. And as critics of the settlement ruefully note, Fox News isn’t required to tell viewers that it lied to them about Dominion or the 2020 election. Instead, they demanded that Fox tell them what they wanted to hear — that the 2020 election was stolen. To believe that Fox had lied to them would mean believing that Trump had lied, as well.
