Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems a $787 million settlement over defamation claims related to the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network: Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network was a U.S. defamation lawsuit filed in Delaware, U.S., in March 2021 by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News Channel and its corporate parent Fox Corporation. Dominion's complaint sought US$1.6 billion in damages, alleging several Fox programs had broadcast false statements that Dominion's voting machines had been rigged to steal the 2020 United States presidential election from then-president Donald Trump. Fox News argued that it was reporting "pure opinion" regarding what others were saying which, if true, would be protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. April 18, 2023. Wiki link
