More lawsuits – and perhaps more settlements – might be coming. Here’s a breakdown of the related litigation that’s still pending.
What’s next for Fox?
In some ways, this isn’t the end of Fox News’ legal headaches. It’s only halftime.
While the right-wing network will avoid having to apologize or issuing an on-air retraction over the false Dominion claims that infected its air, Fox is still facing another major defamation lawsuit stemming from many of the same lies that were at the heart of the Dominion case.
Smartmatic, another voting technology company, sued Fox for defamation following the 2020 election and is seeking $2.7 billion in damages from Fox and other defendants.
That lawsuit was filed in New York state courts, and a trial isn’t expected anytime soon.
“Dominion’s litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by Fox’s disinformation campaign,” Smartmatic lawyer Erik Connolly said in a statement after the settlement. “Smartmatic will expose the rest. Smartmatic remains committed to clearing its name, recouping the significant damage done to the company, and holding Fox accountable for undermining democracy.”

What’s next for Dominion?
Dominion still has a bevy of pending lawsuits against 2020 election deniers.
They’re suing right-wing TV networks Newsmax and OAN, which went even further than Fox News in their promotion of unhinged and debunked conspiracy theories about supposed election-rigging.

Fox has a market cap of 17 billion so how do they pay fines of 787 billion? Never mind, I see now it was million and not Billion. Stilll seems like a huge settlement and very quickly. Any normal corporation would drag this out for years.The Dominion lawsuit was just the beginning for Fox News. Yes, the conservative cable network settled Dominion's defamation claims for a whopping $787.5 billion, but Fox isn't done in the courtroom. Another voting technology company, Smartmatic, is also suing Fox for airing untrue claims about the firm's role in the 2020 election that Donald Trump falsely said had been stolen from him.

I'm sure part of the deal is Fox will get increased ad revenue for selling out.Fox has a market cap of 17 billion so how do they pay fines of 787 billion?

The dominos are continuing to fall for Fox News.
One month after firing its most prominent host and election fraud peddler Tucker Carlson — and settling a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million — the network is reportedly dissolving its investigative unit and laying off reporters.
“The rank and file journalists are getting let go,” one Fox employee told Rolling Stone in an article published Friday. “Meanwhile, upper management are sitting pretty while they are the execs responsible for the Dominion debacle. We are the sacrificial lambs.”
Dominion Voting Systems, in winning a $787 million defamation settlement with Fox News, is no longer in the election technology business, says San Diego-based Herring Networks.

In a new countersuit, the owners of One America News Network argue that Dominion is in the suing-for-profit business.
Dominion has adopted a business model that has nothing to do with voting machines, software or technology, says OAN’s suit in its own election-lies case filed Friday in D.C. federal court.

Fake News!A former Trump supporter who got caught up in a January 6 conspiracy theory sues Fox News
6m ago
DOVER, Del. (AP) — A former Donald Trump supporter who became the center of a conspiracy theory about Jan. 6, 2021, filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News on Wednesday, saying the network made him a scapegoat for the U.S. Capitol insurrection.
Raymond Epps, a former Marine who said he was forced from his Arizona home due to threats, is asking for unspecified damages and a jury trial.
He filed his lawsuit in Superior Court in Delaware, the same court where Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox for lies broadcast following the 2020 presidential election. Shortly before a trial was to begin this spring, Fox agreed to pay Dominion $787 million to settle the charges.
