    BTW. ... The liability from the lies doesn't end with this law suit. Fox Corp. shareholders (who aren't going to be happy about $787.5 million out of their collective pockets) are demanding company records in a likely prelude to a lawsuit.

    Fox is reporting on it now
    Didn’t think Neal Cavuto would ignore it
    Howard Kurtz, who turned out to be a major disappointment, is reporting

    Hoping the deal includes mea culpas. Because it's not about the money here.

    Tapper is losing it on the air. Almost Steineresque.

    I would have been petty and been like -- 1 billion take it or leave it

    Probably a bit lower since it probably comes with an on-air apology.

    FYI, Fox pays the NFL $2.05 billion a year.

    It's not about the money?

    People are untethered from the reality about how much money this is. ... for a company that little.

    It's certainly about the money for the owners of Dominion. They own a company that has revenues of well under $20 MILLION a year.

    That settlement is almost 10x what the owners of Dominion paid for the company just 5 years ago.

    Of course it is about the money here. That is a lot of money, even for the Murdochs, and it's a massive dollar amount in damages relative to the business Dominion has ever done.

    A Smartmatic spokesman said in a statement: “Dominion’s litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by Fox’s disinformation campaign. Smartmatic will expose the rest.”

    That’s nice. When is the next time they are going to sell a voting machine to a jurisdiction where a Republican majority has to approve?

    They could have operated for the equivalent of another lifetime of the owners of the company and not have earned anywhere near $787.5 million.

    Seems like a pretty cheap price for a major role in trying to overthrow the government.
