a massive media contingent waited shortly before 4 pm tuesday, a settlement was announced. the 2 sets of lawyers came out. the dominion team appeared jubilant. the truth matters lies have consequences. over 2 years ago, a torrent of lies swept dominion and election officials across america into an alternative universe of conspiracy theories, causing grievous horn to dominion in the country. to day settlement of $787500000.00 represent vindication and accountability. fox has admitted to telling lies about dominion that cause enormous damage to my company. our employees and the customers

that we serve. nothing can ever make up for them. there was no immediate comment from the fox lawyers. the company instead released the statement saying, we acknowledge the court's rulings finding certain claims about dominion to be false. this settlement reflects fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. fox is avoided. what could have been an embarrassing cross examination of its high powered anchors, who dominion claimed knowingly supported baseless lies. the chairman of fox, rupert murdoch, who in private emails acknowledged that his network had ed and his reporting was also spared the possibility of having to admit this in the dark. but the company's problems are not over another voting machines. company smart matic is bringing a similar case against fox. it is claiming $2700000000.00 in damages and a public acknowledgement that the network knowingly lied. mike hannah al jazeera

washington jane kirk is a professor of media ethics and law at the university of minnesota. she says, the settlement will have an impact on the image of fox news. it's not unusual for a libel suits against the news media to settle at the 11th hour. this was really quite beyond the 11th hour. in that sense, it was surprising. what will be very interesting is seeing the ramifications for fox going forward. now acknowledge the judge is finding and certainly in the summary judgement ruling a few weeks ago, the judge categorically said that fox had lied. but i think their statement is kind of a weasely kind of a statement suggesting that yes, this is what the judge found. but of course, you know, the truth, our loyal viewers, we are still telling you the truth and maintaining our journalistic standards. so, as is often the case in these post settlement statements, each side has tried very hard to fin the outcome here to their greatest advantage.

the spectacle of rupert murdoch and others in fox management having to testify in open court before a jury that might well have been hostile, was nightmarish for fox to be avoided at any cost. putting their highly paid towers on the stand, having their credibility tested in open court under the pressure of cross examination, had to be a matter of great concern. so not going to trial, they've avoided all that. but that hasn't kept their news practices from being scrutinized because the pre trial discovery revealed so much about their internal deliberations and decision making. that's not going away. that's going to be on the public record forever. the rushing and ukrainian president so visited some of that forces with both sides ready for a potential spring offensive. the conflict in the ukraine is become largely deadlocked with heavy fighting in the east. villa marks reports the
