Fox News-Dominion case was settled, last second, terms not yet known.
[color=var(--theme-headline__text-color)]Fox News settles with Dominion at the last second, pays more than $787 million to avert defamation trial over its 2020 election lies.

[/color]Fair and balanced.

I have flown SW all but once in the past decade, and have only once had a problem.  Granted that problem was a 3:00 flight from Denver to Pittsburgh, when I was already losing two hours on a Sunday, getting pushed back to 10:00, and throwing an entire high school band with their instruments on the flight.  But, it's gone worse for people.

The one time I didn't, I flew Delta, then paid to move my flight up.  That flight was delayed by an hour, and they comped.me almost the amount I paid to move my flight up, and gave me access to their sky lounge.

I think SW is a flying bus.  It's the cheapest decent option, and as long as everything is smooth, the savings are well worth the lack of perks.  But as soon as anything goes wrong, don't expect them to care.

It's a bit striking to me, not shocking, how the Fox News Talking Heads appeared to know what they were spewing was nonsense, but did it anyway for ratings because they knew it's what their clientel wanted to hear.  I doubt that is unique to FN, but in this case it's pretty obvious.  I doubt viewers much care, and their web site has this short item about this case.

FOX News Media, Dominion Voting Systems reach agreement over defamation lawsuit | Fox News

There are more cases to come obviously.

And they can do this if they don't blame a specific company for that without evidence.

Pretending it’s there to soothe feelings ain’t an ideal outcome. Though some feelings will be soothed.
