Fox News took a reputational beating that observers said was unlikely to spur the influential broadcaster to tame its “disinformation engine.”Opening arguments in defamation civil trial brought by vote machine maker Dominion against Fox News - Copyright AFP ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS
While Fox News wriggled out of what was expected to be an explosive trial, analysts said the settlement was a rare example that showed there could be a heavy price for blatant disinformation — even for once-untouchable media giants. The settlement meant that none of the broadcaster’s high-profile personalities — including Fox Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch and hosts such as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity — will have to testify.
“The stain this leaves on Fox can’t be wiped out with money,” said Angelo Carusone, president of the advocacy group Media Matters. Will the huge settlement be enough to stop the conservative network from doing the same in the future? Many analysts were sceptical. “Dominion’s litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by Fox’s disinformation campaign,” a Smartmatic attorney said in a statement reported by US media.Miller voiced concern that Tuesday’s settlement, which arguably reaffirms the high bar for media defamation, could provide “other networks with a legal roadmap for disseminating future falsehoods.”
