    Not sure how much Fox "news" is worth but a Google states Murdoch is worth about 14bil last time it was checked into. Obviously they won't grant $2bil of damages but given the explicit severity of the damages caused the punitive costs could still be really high. I hope they ruin Fox.

    Nathan J. Robinson, a leftist columnist for The Guardian, claims he was fired for a (very tame) tweet criticizing US military aid to Israel.

    The lawyers for Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, and Jeanine Pirro are seeking dismissal of the Smartmatic lawsuit claiming that their statements made during the time of reporting were "constitutionally protected opinions, not statements of fact."

    “The First Amendment protects the press when it informs the public about judicial proceedings regardless of the accuracy of the underlying allegations,” according to the motion filed on behalf of Dobbs.

    Bartiromo in her motion suggests an alternate motive for what she calls Smartmatic’s “headline-seeking” lawsuit: an attempt by the company to fill its coffers after reporting losses of $17 million on $144 million in revenue in 2019.

    “This complaint is not just meritless; it is a legal shakedown designed to chill speech and punish reporting on issues that cut to the heart of our democracy,” her lawyers argue.

    If that were the case, no defamation suit would have merit because anything can be argued as a "constitutionally protected opinion".

    Legal Eagle did a good video on this subject. Apparently defamation suits are often dismissed because of opinions vs stated facts. However here it is less likely due to language they used doesn't come off as opinion.

    The exact same thing will happen that happened with Carlson's suit, "fox news is only for entertainment purposes and is not news news therefor everything is for entertainment purposes only and not stated as fact" and that's the end of it.

    Actually ludicrous, but they just let it pass.

    The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "

    The [CNN] lawyers noted that California law, which Swain said was appropriate for the case, requires that a retraction be demanded in writing within 20 days of the publication of a story.
    Taken down by a technicality.
