I hope Smartmatic refuses a 50% cash offer on their claim and goes to trial for the full $2.6 billion. I want to see Hannity, Carlson and Murdoch squirm on the stand!
Unfortunately there will likely be another settlement for a similar amount. That does add up to a cool $1.5 billion and an implicit admission of guilt though. It also implies that Trump has been lying.
I don’t know if anyone at Dominion read my tweet to them and the legal firm. I had suggested that they make Fox air the fact that they lied. Make each news segment state in air that they lied, and display on the “Breaking News” banner that they lost the lawsuit and it was because they lied about it. Because just as you stated the viewers are less likely to hear about it. I’d give my left nut to hear jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson admit they lied about it all. 😂
Dominion didn't "roll over and settled". They kind of won. And they are not done yet. This is how civil lawsuits are. Of course I wanted some kind of revenge and justice too, but this is not over! Image settlement after settlement until Fox is broke ...
Watching the legal system work in the Murdoch case gives me some hope. Thank goodness for good journalists like Lawrence who keep the American people informed about the truth.
Like the US Gov lies that covid jab stopped you giving it to other people? I'm happy for fox to admit everything on air as long as the us gov and Fauci admits they lied to the American Public NOT one rule for them and gov gets off free and clear 🤬
No we didn’t. Most people already know. And the ones that don’t know wouldn’t change their even if everything was painted in 20’ neon letters. As much as it would have been interesting it fundamentally wouldn’t have impacted the Fox audience.
WE aren't the company that was damaged. WE don't have stockholders to answer to. WE don't have a dog in this fight. For Dominion, this had to be a business decision, not an emotional one.
We already had all the info we needed. Yes we lose a certain satisfaction seeing Fox pukes squirm, but it was always going to be about them having to give up the money...The money was their guilt..
@@shlepmessing8703 you're more committed than Fox to this nonsense 😂. Fox just paid the best part of a billion dollars to not have to try to make the case you're still trying to make.
Most likely, the settlement will not include any new closure of information outside of what’s already on the case. That’s typically how these things go however, since they found a lot of materials in pre-trial, it means that other individuals feel that they’ve been harmed by fox will be more willing to file a lawsuit, knowing that there is most likely evidence to be found.
Trial doesn't matter, Fox News should REPEATEDLY admit on air to their viewers that they lied. Fox News should have to say, for a month, at every ad break: "Fox News is entertainment, not news. We intentionally lied to you, our viewers, about Dominion Voting Systems with the direct intention to deceive you. We have no legal requirement to tell you the truth about anything."
Dominion didn't win.....the next election is just around the corner. And the lies? The lies continue. Democracy lost. Accountability? Journalistic integrity? Sold a long time ago.....only, today the "resale" price tag was kicked up a notch or two.
Dominion won money. But not much else. No admission from FOX, no public apology. Whatever mistrust was seeded by FOX will not really be fixed given how this ended up being settled without the much needed public exposure of getting the talking heads and exec to explain their lies. Real accountability is an elusive thing in America, it would seem.
If they don't have to give a public apology or acknowledge their wrong doing this is all pointless. People forget so quickly, they'll do it again in a few election cycles.
TK it appears very unfair and it is. The case is not criminal it is a lawsuit for damages done to a company. We (just about all America) would like to see them shut down. What we can do is simply boycott Fox, it is trash TV and we have the power by simply not watch Fox.I'm a senior and watch my news on what I grew up watching CBS, NBC and ABC. If I wanted to read about new locally I would by the local newspaper, I didn't turn to a tabloid for important information. Tabloids are a smaller form of newspaper than a broadsheet and present the news in a way that sensationalizes crime stories and celebrity gossip. Tabloids, such as the National Enquirer, can be purchased near the checkout aisle at grocery stores. In short, if I want to hear about the last sighting of Bigfoot or Elvis then I will read a tabloid. That is what Fox is tabloid entertainment. You have to be able to separate your eggs on informative or entertainment. Sorry for the long post, it's just an opinion.

*Murdoch settled because he didn't want his FOX viewers to hear the truth of what they really think. Now, those FOX viewers will not hear a word because it will all be quashed.* I think it should ALL be heard in public by everybody! *THANK YOU Lawrence O'Donnell for keeping the important stuff in front of us all!*
If Fox viewers were interested in the truth, it is already in the public domain. A trial would expose the extent of Murdoch's dishonesty and collusion with Trump even more, but Fox viewers would just excuse it with "waddabout"s or simply delude themselves with another conspiracy theory as they have been doing for years now.
At least in the U.K. we got a newscorp entity (News of the World) shut down for despicable behaviour. That was more humiliating for Murdoch than just writing a cheque.
Also, I hear that in the UK, the election campaign season is limited, by law, to six weeks. Here in the States, campaigns begin months prior to the election. Funny how in the States, our history teaches us that we broke free of a tyrannical English king. At this point in time, I sometimes wonder if we'd be any worse off under George III.
The Dominion lawyers should be getting 33% of the 780,500,000 since it was settled out of court. If there was a trial, it would have been 40%. New York does not charge taxes on compensatory damages. Neither does California. So, Dominion will get about 560 million with no taxes, the lawyers will get near 260 million. And they don't have to pay taxes either. New York doesn't tax legal fees. I saw about ten lawyers today. I wouldn't mind having the deli down the block from that firm.
They are not done, even though it seems the $$$ settlement is disappointing. So, thanks to this analysis, I feel less disappointed and look fwd to more law suits. Thanks, Lawrence, as always.
Who cares, liars don't care, fox followers are to dumb!!! Fox understands money, and they just got smashed!!!!!!!! A company worth approx 40 million just won 20 times their entire worth without going to court with public declaration of him & all his morons on the existing deposition- well don Dominion!!!;; 👊😊👍💙🇺🇸🌊🌊
Like the Government with COVID lies? Like the jab can stop you giving covid to other people? Who should appoligise for that? Or is it 💯% ok whan the US Gov lies to its people?
@@faithingod5533 How's that "Faith in God" doing for you? Get back to us when you reveal any evidence that He exists; maybe you can get Rudy Giuliani to plead your case.
Thank you for always being the calming voice in the room .You always have just the right words to sooth my soul when I'm feeling stressed about a situation or something in the news.
Fox fans won't see it that way. They will see it as Fox paying to get rid of a nuisance. Dominion should have stuck with it, and forced them all to testify.
Well 99% of Fox fans and 99% of us normal working peasants will never live to see how much money that really is. I don't care who you are or how rich you are. $780M dollars to "get rid of a nuisance" IS WAY TOO MUCH MONEY to get rid of a nuisance considering you're supposedly "innocent" and no rich person with billions of dollars likes losing ANY money so if you think Murdoch is happy that he "only" lost $780M, you are sadly mistaken. You don't pay that much money if you know you aren't in the wrong, that's common sense.
Rupert Murdoch is one very evil and shriveled up old prune. He deserves to spend the rest of his life being sued for all the dangerous rhetoric and conspiracy theories he and his Propaganda Network knowingly spread on the airwaves causing real pain and suffering all for the love of money and ratings.
After hearing the news today I was waiting to hear what Lawrence O’Donnell had to say about this. Your commentary did not disappoint me because your explanation of why Murdoch decided to settle when he did was perfect
No matter how much we think about Fox's stupidity, we'll still never be able to get our collective heads around THAT level of stupidity that warrants another word to describe it.
I’m so happy for Dominion….so happy. And I’m glad to hear that they are not done. Get every last one of them. If I’m not mistaken, this is the only accountability we have seen in this whole ordeal. Anywho, I’ll be looking forward to more news of this nature 😊😊😊
What I didn't say, Lawrence, is that your news reports are always spot-on, always truthful, and always respectful of your audience. I look out for them purposefully, because you speak truth. I often forget to say this when I send a comment. I'm saying it now. Thank you, so very, very much. I say this with an honest prayer in my heart.
Hope Republicans learn a lesson from this Donald J Trump destroys anything he touches. His father's wealth and businesses, Atlantic City investments and now the Republican party.
Really wished Dominion pushed for a public apology from all the top hosts during their peak shows. At least then FOX viewers would have been told the truth for once.
I love the Last Word & Mr. O'Donnell's delivery & reporting. I was worried he might be off but was thrilled to see him sitting in the hot seat. He never disappoints.
I like him too, but I'm not a fan at all of the constant use of "stupid" a gazillion times, even if it's true. By all means use derogatory terms when suitable. Just not all the bloody time, time and time again. I also wish they could do the same when the "left" messes up, not only the progressives. Btw "left" means democrats, which for me is hard right, with progressives being center right. I'm not from the US.
So true. Not even the families of officers who died or were injured, or poll workers who had to go into hiding because of these cowardly liars, can get compensation from Fox. Only a business that can prove they lost profits. But they made use of their chance, and I'm glad they took this case as far as it got.
Murdoch's "Smartest man in the room" syndrome cost him 787.5 million dollars. That's a drop in the bucket for him. I was hoping this would go to trial, Dominion would win 1.6 billion dollars and the punitive damages would have been enough to bankrupt the Murdoch empire. That to me would be ideal justice.
Problem is, if Dominion won, Fox could appeal, delaying the payment, and push the case in front of their bought and sold Supremes. I hope Dominion will use some of the money as a legal fund for people who want to sue Fox.
I'm actually so disappointed in Dominion for settling! They had Fox! They needed to make their viewers watch the verdict and do multiple statements that they all lied and knew they lied!!! Their viewers refuse to watch any other stations and won't hear what anyone has to say about this case or any of the lies if they are not on Fox. Believe me, I know I live it!!! 😢 There are people all around me that won't listen to anyone but these people who have constantly lied to them for years! It's like what they say is the gospel to a lot of their viewers! I was hoping maybe some of the people I love would actually wake up if Fox was required to tell the truth on air!!! Dominion said it was about the truth but surprise surprise it was just about the money like pretty much every other business in America! So sad so pathetic that it makes me sick!
I'm not. Murdoch brought his chequebook to a sword fight. Now with his old carcass out of the way. A lot of names which Fox gave ample airtime towards and a stage to promote from have NOWHERE to turn to.
The other problem is that jury had to include Fox News viewers ( who were likely MAGATS)… and Dominion lawyers knew that it was going to be hard getting a unanimous guilty verdict; no matter how strong the evidence!
No one can relay this as delightfully and comfortingly as Lawrence O'Donnell. I have this on repeat- and it'll replace those 'gentle stream sounds' that help me sleep at night.
Actually I don't care if they settle for just a simple dollar. As long as the condition on the settlement is for every fox host that spread their lies. Was forced to have a minimum of a five minute apology to their listeners, and they were forced to tell the entire truth. Every one of them during their regular program.
Sir Lawrence, I could listen to your elucidation all day. Your tongue in cheek delivery, professionalism and humour keeps me entertained whenever I tune in to your show. This was a classic 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I don't think Dominion was willing to settle back then. I think they settled today because most of the truth has already been released to the public, and even though they had enough evidence to win the case, they could've lost it all in an appeal. Plus, they could've been awarded way less if it went to trial. I really wanted it to go to trial, but I understand why it didn't.
From New Zealand. Ia free with you. The fact Fox payed this huge amount makes it obvious they were guilty as charged. Murdoch has got what he deserved -justice. No onto Trump, Giuliani, Green etc -cant wait. Hopefully Fox will collapse now. Across in Australia there is Sky New who belong to the Murdoch stable. They are nasty horrible and their new is also full of lies. I would've to see someone take them down also
Dominion should have settled only when fox had to publicly apologize for three months on their network for their lies, and pay for ads on other networks morning, noon and at prime time. Tucker, Laura, Hannity m and the rest of them should’ve had to apologize publicly as well. I don’t know why they are getting off so easily.
That and the fact that, in a civil case you ask for 10 to 20 years worth in punitive damage predicted. If your company is worth 50 million, like dominion is, you sue for 500 million or 1 billion. Dominion was wanting over 30 years of punitive damage. They could prove they were defamed. But it would have been difficult for them to get the full 1.6 billion and to prove they will have 30 worth of predicted damage. They went high so Fox would settle. Fox brought the settlement to the table though. Making it a win for Dominion. Because if the defendant is offering a settlement, that means the defendants knows they can't win.
@@masond2838 perhaps that is part of the bargaining. It JUST happened. We may not know everything yet. Idiots like Tucker are like lightning in a bottle.
Lawrence O'Donnell increasingly becomes my favorite commentator. He doesn't mince words and says how it is. Not so flashy as some others, but really really good reporting and commenting.
As an older person, I have arrived at the conclusion that many people prefer to accept lies rather then to accept truths even when the lies are blatantly placed before their faces.
Research has been done that demonstrated when people who hold ‘strong’ beliefs are confronted with evidence to the contrary, they dig their heels in deeper and believe their incorrect beliefs even more deeply. Yes, kind of jaw dropping. Pretty unfathomable, really. Your conclusion is correct, Lucille Baptiste.
“….Oh how true, I find myself praying I never come across those onewayward,thinking ppl at anytime or cost, they just make you want too pull your hair out or give them a Will Smacker-Smack & I choice either the latter or preferably not come in contact with any of them”!!! G-MOMMEE
Dominions Attorneys out lawyered Murdoch and all his attorneys at every step. They are truly Awesome. Now, we can find out how the shareholders feel and what they to to who or whom about this?
IF i were Dominion's side, i would have made part of the settlement that RM and all the Fox anchors had to go on air and admit that they lied, and that they knew they were lying the whole time. Vindication
Why would he be crying...?? Now he simply knows how much his next set of BS Lies will cost Fox Propoganda. Nothing will change and they will keep on lying to the Americans that only want to hear Maga Lies. It will simply be part of the cost of doing business.
Lawrence, this is why your show and you are so brilliant, your analysis is absolutely brilliant in its clarity and straightforwardness, delivered with a masterful Manor and Cadence. Bravo sir Lawrence!
Lawrence, this was an EXCELLENT program, in that your knowledge of ALL the legal perils faux went down & how other people will be facing suits by Dominion also....very well explained so we understand more clearly what has &/or will be taking place...we really appreciate you for putting it all so clearly!
Rupert had 21 billion. Now he has 20. These other lawsuits? They're not going to stop Fox lying. This is another example of how you can be rich and just ignore the law. No justice was done today. The criminals are still free. Criminals are still doing criminal crimes
Lawrence O'Donnell is by far one if not my favorite journalists in the business of journalism because of his cool ,calm and collected approach to delivering the news on the current issues of the day.
No they aren't sad or embarrassed they are walking away having won the right not to have to tell the truth! It only cost FOX 3/4 of a Billion peanuts to that organization.Hopefully Smartmatic is more circumspect.
I don’t know about anyone else but I was chuckling,and then laughing, every single time I heard him say “ stupid! “ Just seeing him gleefully saying it was informative and highly entertaining 😂
Ugh, I wish that part of the settlement had been forcing each of their hosts to admit on air that they lied to their audience, knew they were lying to them about it, and chose to lie to them to keep enriching themselves at their audience's expense.
Lawrence you remain to be my favorite news presenter and commentator. Not only do you give the facts and back them up, but you do so on the side of truth. As long as we follow the truth in the U.S., corrupt forces like Fox News, the GOP and the fascists that exist at the level of American life can never fully succeed and will eventually be completely defeated.
First I was disapointed that there will be no trial. But Lawrence you were right and convinced me we would have not learned more what we not already know. Thanks
It's not going to. FoxNews doesn't have to admit they lied. They just have to pay Dominion. Truth has nothing to do with this settlement. It's just money, and not even enough to matter to an organization with the revenue of FoxNews.
Thank you , Lawrence. Many people were disappointed by the settlement, including myself, but when the statement was made that Dominion said, they are not done yet, I was elated.
They need to publicly apologise on the channel.. Repeatedly. I'm wondering why they didn't nail this. This needs to be done and sorted publicly. I'm glad to hear Sydney Powell is going to be on trial. That's not all about money it's much more than that...
I understand about "a bird in the hand," especially when that bird amounts to $787 million, but I have to say I am disappointed that Dominion settled. After getting a judgment for the FULL amount of $1.6 billion in compensatory damages, they could have asked the jury for PUNITIVE damages and really teach Rupert Murdoch a lesson.
The problem is that they had to include Fox viewers ( and likely MAGATS) as part of the jury…. dominion knew that it was going to be difficult to get a unanimous guilty verdict; no matter how strong the evidence presented! Thus, the settlement was their surest option.
Strong concurrence. A trial would have burned FAUX so badly! Maybe depoliticizing America's legal system would help? So: "A nonpartisan Justice may compel two recusals by junior partisan Justices." How about that idea?
One of your best videos, Lawrence. I love the 'surrender' concept. I can't believe Murdoch's lawyers wouldn't have advised him better. I didn't realize their stupidity until you pointed it out--they really look well---stupid. Happy trails, Lawrence.

Tucker, Laura, Hannity m and the rest of them should’ve had to apologize publicly as well. I don’t know why they are getting off so easily.
Even if he is outright lying here, Lawrence isn't dumb enough to send texts and emails admitting that he is knowingly lying. That is the only way that Dominion won this defamation case.
They know about it, but they don’t care. I have read several comments from them, and they are basically saying the judge was against them and fox had to do it, etc. They are living in a fantasy world.

You are right, they will quickly sweep it under the rug! And spin and spin the truth, because that's all they do!
They are victims of a political witch hunt! Some may say, not me though.

The terms of settlement were too easy on Fox.
My sister believes that the election 2020 was stolen by watching Fox News and Newmax.
Like the US Gov lies that covid jab stopped you giving it to other people? I'm happy for fox to admit everything on air as long as the us gov and Fauci admits they lied to the American Public
NOT one rule for them and gov gets off free and clear 🤬
My thoughts exactly, but you stated it much more succinctly.
That is what really should've been part of the agreement. It would go a long way towards waking up the zombies.

No we didn’t. Most people already know. And the ones that don’t know wouldn’t change their even if everything was painted in 20’ neon letters. As much as it would have been interesting it fundamentally wouldn’t have impacted the Fox audience.
A good amount of fox dirt was revealed to us via the depositions.

It would have just meant more money for Dominion,
We already had all the info we needed. Yes we lose a certain satisfaction seeing Fox pukes squirm, but it was always going to be about them having to give up the money...The money was their guilt..
800 million to keep their tv personalities off the stand when they have to admit guilt anyway says a lot
It says that Fox didn't want to risk everything in court, bc they totally would have lost everything.. and they should have.. 🤬
It says a lot, but the people who need to hear it won’t listen.
I dont believe that so many people are so blind and perverted.
They are like children

I love the way that Lawrence is trying to keep his smile under control. He really is so professional.
At least in the U.K. we got a newscorp entity (News of the World) shut down for despicable behaviour. That was more humiliating for Murdoch than just writing a cheque.
Also, I hear that in the UK, the election campaign season is limited, by law, to six weeks. Here in the States, campaigns begin months prior to the election.
Funny how in the States, our history teaches us that we broke free of a tyrannical English king.
At this point in time, I sometimes wonder if we'd be any worse off under George III.
Although the Sun on Sunday sprang up to take it's place.

Smartmatic is coming for them next. 2.7 billion.🤞🏼I hope they don’t settle. But that’s wishful thinking. 🤦🏼♀️ This isn’t enough accountability IMO.
The Dominion lawyers should be getting 33% of the 780,500,000 since it was settled out of court. If there was a trial, it would have been 40%. New York does not charge taxes on compensatory damages. Neither does California. So, Dominion will get about 560 million with no taxes, the lawyers will get near 260 million. And they don't have to pay taxes either. New York doesn't tax legal fees. I saw about ten lawyers today. I wouldn't mind having the deli down the block from that firm.
They are not done, even though it seems the $$$ settlement is disappointing. So, thanks to this analysis, I feel less disappointed and look fwd to more law suits. Thanks, Lawrence, as always.
Me to go get them dominion
Fox should’ve been required to confess on air that they lied to their viewers.
I agree, that's what Dominion should have fought for!
Yes, nationwide, so that everyone would see it.
Who cares, liars don't care, fox followers are to dumb!!! Fox understands money, and they just got smashed!!!!!!!! A company worth approx 40 million just won 20 times their entire worth without going to court with public declaration of him & all his morons on the existing deposition- well don Dominion!!!;; 👊😊👍💙🇺🇸🌊🌊
Like the Government with COVID lies? Like the jab can stop you giving covid to other people? Who should appoligise for that? Or is it 💯% ok whan the US Gov lies to its people?
Trump should be required to confess on air, he also lied to the nation.

Fox fans won't see it that way. They will see it as Fox paying to get rid of a nuisance. Dominion should have stuck with it, and forced them all to testify.
I agree. We need fox to be shut down.

Well 99% of Fox fans and 99% of us normal working peasants will never live to see how much money that really is. I don't care who you are or how rich you are. $780M dollars to "get rid of a nuisance" IS WAY TOO MUCH MONEY to get rid of a nuisance considering you're supposedly "innocent" and no rich person with billions of dollars likes losing ANY money so if you think Murdoch is happy that he "only" lost $780M, you are sadly mistaken. You don't pay that much money if you know you aren't in the wrong, that's common sense.
Good point.
Sad part is the people that were harassed and threatened won't see a penny.

They cannot be convinced. They become unimportant.
Thank you, Lawrence. I always love coming to your show to hear the real story.
Rupert Murdoch is one very evil and shriveled up old prune. He deserves to spend the rest of his life being sued for all the dangerous rhetoric and conspiracy theories he and his Propaganda Network knowingly spread on the airwaves causing real pain and suffering all for the love of money and ratings.
The FCC should toss Fox off the air for calling itself news.

Along with CNN & MSNBC

After hearing the news today I was waiting to hear what Lawrence O’Donnell had to say about this. Your commentary did not disappoint me because your explanation of why Murdoch decided to settle when he did was perfect
I agree, a trial would have shown the vile network for the trash that they are!
Unlike the partisan MSNBC which is not "vile" leftist.... Oh wait it is...
No matter how much we think about Fox's stupidity, we'll still never be able to get our collective heads around THAT level of stupidity that warrants another word to describe it.
I’m so happy for Dominion….so happy. And I’m glad to hear that they are not done. Get every last one of them. If I’m not mistaken, this is the only accountability we have seen in this whole ordeal. Anywho, I’ll be looking forward to more news of this nature 😊😊😊
With more law suits to look forward to champagne is chilling. Justice matters & I want my country back. I want our flag back.

We can only hope.

You bet they are…all of them will now be accountable and hopefully go bankrupt.
@@iamtiredoftheinsanity I hope so too
Sweet.
Dominion should ask for a public apology straight from those Fox Hosts.
In the words of Don Draper: Thats what the money is for. lol.
It’s a stipulation of the settlement that he had to make an apology
YES
What I didn't say, Lawrence, is that your news reports are always spot-on, always truthful, and always respectful of your audience. I look out for them purposefully, because you speak truth. I often forget to say this when I send a comment. I'm saying it now. Thank you, so very, very much. I say this with an honest prayer in my heart.
Amen
Yes! Love the way he emphasizes some words, his tone and certainty in delivering the mews w/out being biased !
Hope Republicans learn a lesson from this Donald J Trump destroys anything he touches. His father's wealth and businesses, Atlantic City investments and now the Republican party.
Laurence O' Donnell commentary has been extraordinarily perceptive..... Well Done!
it is great. Don't we just all wish here that everyone was watching, not just those who already agree with Lawrence anyway.
Really wished Dominion pushed for a public apology from all the top hosts during their peak shows. At least then FOX viewers would have been told the truth for once.
I love the Last Word & Mr. O'Donnell's delivery & reporting. I was worried he might be off but was thrilled to see him sitting in the hot seat. He never disappoints.
Lawrence reminds me of the anchors like Cronkite and Jennings, clear and concise presentation of the news. Maybe that's why he's one of my favorites!
It's like slow-drip schadenfreude.
Lawrence is gifted.
Simply, The BEST in The News Business‼️
I like him too, but I'm not a fan at all of the constant use of "stupid" a gazillion times, even if it's true.
By all means use derogatory terms when suitable. Just not all the bloody time, time and time again.
I also wish they could do the same when the "left" messes up, not only the progressives.
Btw "left" means democrats, which for me is hard right, with progressives being center right. I'm not from the US.
We the people should be able to sue them....they LIED to us.
Why can’t you?
So true. Not even the families of officers who died or were injured, or poll workers who had to go into hiding because of these cowardly liars, can get compensation from Fox. Only a business that can prove they lost profits. But they made use of their chance, and I'm glad they took this case as far as it got.
@@antoniodominguezjr4734
Don't know...but I'm looking to find out.👍
Exactly
@@JusticeAlways Please share when you get any information concerning those liars.
Murdoch's "Smartest man in the room" syndrome cost him 787.5 million dollars. That's a drop in the bucket for him. I was hoping this would go to trial, Dominion would win 1.6 billion dollars and the punitive damages would have been enough to bankrupt the Murdoch empire. That to me would be ideal justice.
Me too!
Problem is, if Dominion won, Fox could appeal, delaying the payment, and push the case in front of their bought and sold Supremes. I hope Dominion will use some of the money as a legal fund for people who want to sue Fox.
That is why he settled because he is scared of losing all his money good point
@@lynnlytton8244 LOL!
Yes, I'm sure they'll do that! /s
There is another suit coming to Fox for the same thing about another voting machine company. Can't think of the name of it.
As always a very articulate, and very informative commentary by Lawrence.
Oh man, it is just brilliant how Lawrence breaks it down. Over and over again. Respect Sir!
Lawrence is the BEST!
I'm actually so disappointed in Dominion for settling! They had Fox! They needed to make their viewers watch the verdict and do multiple statements that they all lied and knew they lied!!! Their viewers refuse to watch any other stations and won't hear what anyone has to say about this case or any of the lies if they are not on Fox. Believe me, I know I live it!!! 😢 There are people all around me that won't listen to anyone but these people who have constantly lied to them for years! It's like what they say is the gospel to a lot of their viewers! I was hoping maybe some of the people I love would actually wake up if Fox was required to tell the truth on air!!! Dominion said it was about the truth but surprise surprise it was just about the money like pretty much every other business in America! So sad so pathetic that it makes me sick!
I'm not. Murdoch brought his chequebook to a sword fight. Now with his old carcass out of the way. A lot of names which Fox gave ample airtime towards and a stage to promote from have NOWHERE to turn to.
I too am HUGELY DISAPPOINTED!
Their agenda is not your agenda
The other problem is that jury had to include Fox News viewers ( who were likely MAGATS)… and Dominion lawyers knew that it was going to be hard getting a unanimous guilty verdict; no matter how strong the evidence!
Your right, Dominon should have went l the way with the trial to expose FOX totally
No one can relay this as delightfully and comfortingly as Lawrence O'Donnell. I have this on repeat- and it'll replace those 'gentle stream sounds' that help me sleep at night.
Rupert had 21 billion. Now he has 20. Justice was not done.
This ought to lead to a shareholder lawsuit against Fox management and its board
Actually I don't care if they settle for just a simple dollar. As long as the condition on the settlement is for every fox host that spread their lies. Was forced to have a minimum of a five minute apology to their listeners, and they were forced to tell the entire truth. Every one of them during their regular program.
They are....Google shareholders sues Murdoch, Fox Board members over election coverage.
So far, 1 shareholder has filed suit over Fox News "coverage" of Election fraud claims. Let's hope more shareholders join in.
@@Kavagek except theyre not
Sir Lawrence, I could listen to your elucidation all day. Your tongue in cheek delivery, professionalism and humour keeps me entertained whenever I tune in to your show. This was a classic 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Sir Lawrence -- the perfect name for our dear Mr. O'D.
I don't think Dominion was willing to settle back then. I think they settled today because most of the truth has already been released to the public, and even though they had enough evidence to win the case, they could've lost it all in an appeal. Plus, they could've been awarded way less if it went to trial. I really wanted it to go to trial, but I understand why it didn't.
From New Zealand. Ia free with you. The fact Fox payed this huge amount makes it obvious they were guilty as charged. Murdoch has got what he deserved -justice. No onto Trump, Giuliani, Green etc -cant wait. Hopefully Fox will collapse now. Across in Australia there is Sky New who belong to the Murdoch stable. They are nasty horrible and their new is also full of lies. I would've to see someone take them down also
Yes, because that’s what they care about….the truth.
Dominion should have settled only when fox had to publicly apologize for three months on their network for their lies, and pay for ads on other networks morning, noon and at prime time. Tucker, Laura, Hannity m and the rest of them should’ve had to apologize publicly as well. I don’t know why they are getting off so easily.
That and the fact that, in a civil case you ask for 10 to 20 years worth in punitive damage predicted. If your company is worth 50 million, like dominion is, you sue for 500 million or 1 billion. Dominion was wanting over 30 years of punitive damage. They could prove they were defamed. But it would have been difficult for them to get the full 1.6 billion and to prove they will have 30 worth of predicted damage. They went high so Fox would settle. Fox brought the settlement to the table though. Making it a win for Dominion. Because if the defendant is offering a settlement, that means the defendants knows they can't win.
@@masond2838 perhaps that is part of the bargaining. It JUST happened. We may not know everything yet. Idiots like Tucker are like lightning in a bottle.
Lawrence O'Donnell increasingly becomes my favorite commentator. He doesn't mince words and says how it is. Not so flashy as some others, but really really good reporting and commenting.
@@WoodworkingforAnyone that is exactly what a news commentator does.

As an older person, I have arrived at the conclusion that many people prefer to accept lies rather then to accept truths even when the lies are blatantly placed before their faces.
It’s kinda bizarre! This needs to be looked into.
Research has been done that demonstrated when people who hold ‘strong’ beliefs are confronted with evidence to the contrary, they dig their heels in deeper and believe their incorrect beliefs even more deeply. Yes, kind of jaw dropping. Pretty unfathomable, really. Your conclusion is correct, Lucille Baptiste.
Sadly, there are a lot of people who only want their biases/ prejudices to be confirmed. This explains the hold that Fox has on their audience.
“….Oh how true, I find myself praying I never come across those onewayward,thinking ppl at anytime or cost, they just make you want too pull your hair out or give them a Will Smacker-Smack & I choice either the latter or preferably not come in contact with any of them”!!! G-MOMMEE

I wonder if Rupert is crying into his My Pillow tonight.
Crying into some twinks cheeks.

Ugh, I wish that part of the settlement had been forcing each of their hosts to admit on air that they lied to their audience, knew they were lying to them about it, and chose to lie to them to keep enriching themselves at their audience's expense.
FOX is world known to lie about almost everything they put out. That's why trump stayed on their platform for so long.
That would be asking Dominion to put the public interest ahead of their shareholders’ money. They’re actually legally obligated to not do that.

Lawrence you remain to be my favorite news presenter and commentator. Not only do you give the facts and back them up, but you do so on the side of truth.

Excellent reporting as always Lawrence .
First I was disapointed that there will be no trial. But Lawrence you were right and convinced me we would have not learned more what we not already know. Thanks

*Let the TRUTH flow down like a torrent of water!*
It's not going to.
FoxNews doesn't have to admit they lied.

Go Get THEM dominion, the rest of the LIARS
I understand about "a bird in the hand," especially when that bird amounts to $787 million, but I have to say I am disappointed that Dominion settled. After getting a judgment for the FULL amount of $1.6 billion in compensatory damages, they could have asked the jury for PUNITIVE damages and really teach Rupert Murdoch a lesson.
Their agenda is not your agenda
The problem is that they had to include Fox viewers ( and likely MAGATS) as part of the jury…. dominion knew that it was going to be difficult to get a unanimous guilty verdict; no matter how strong the evidence presented! Thus, the settlement was their surest option.
Strong concurrence. A trial would have burned FAUX so badly!
Maybe depoliticizing America's legal system would help?
So: "A nonpartisan Justice may compel two recusals by junior partisan Justices."
How about that idea?
The issue with that is that overall settlement amount would have been reduced in appeal.
And we will never know all the dirt that was found by Dominion. Must have been real bad.
My pillow guy, Rudy, and Sedney Powell can't sleep tonight. Bankruptcy is coming fast.
Lawrence did such an excellent job of laying out what happened today with the Fox v Dominion case. Wonderful!

Thank you for the update Lawrence 👍⚖️
One of your best videos, Lawrence. I love the 'surrender' concept. I can't believe Murdoch's lawyers wouldn't have advised him better. I didn't realize their stupidity until you pointed it out--they really look well---stupid.
Happy trails, Lawrence.

I am a bit disappointed that he didn't use the word capitulation. It sounds more craven to me. Murdoch is a stain on humanity.

OMG! Almost 20 minutes of Lawrence O'Donnell going on and on about things that could get him sued if he wasn't speaking the truth. Epic!
But because he is a lawyer, and a very good one, he knows how to phrase replies so he doesn't leave himself open for any repercussions.
Even if he is outright lying here, Lawrence isn't dumb enough to send texts and emails admitting that he is knowingly lying.
That is the only way that Dominion won this defamation case.
Nice report Lawrence! 👍👍
This was the *absolute best* take I heard today on this issue.

Yup same, reeled me back in from outrage that Dominion settled a suit they seemed to have in the bag.
Unfortunately, Fox viewers won’t hear a thing about this.
Even if they witnessed every lie told by FOX under oath they still would have ignored the truth. That is just what they do. Completely delusional!
