fox and dominion have reached an historic settlement, fox has admitted to telling lies about dominionhat caused enormous damage to my company, our employees and the customers that we serve nothing can ever make up for that throughout this process, we have sought accountability and believe the evidence brought to light through this case underscores the consequences of spreading lies truthful reporting in the media is essential to our democracy. dominion, our employees, our people, our partners, are grateful for the court for allowing us to process for the truth to come out. i cannot thank the election officials that we serve enough without them there is no democracy. and the work they tirelessly do to that end, and they deserve much better. we're grateful for all of the support we've received grateful to our legal team and want to acknowledge staple street capitol who have been unconditional in their support of dominion and their customers. i want to introduce the principal and founder of staple street capitol >> can we just apologize to -- >> hi. i'm the co-founder of staple street ca

a lawyer for dominion announced that fox would be paying dominion. 787. and in a statement, fox admitted quote we acknowledge the court's rulings finding certain claims about dominion to be false, which translated means that yes , they spent months and months lying to their viewers about dominion voting systems among other things, and as a result were in such fear of what a jury trial might create in terms of both the settlement and embarrassment for the company. they wrote a check for $787 million 500,000. cnn's oliver darcy is outside the courthouse in wellington, delaware. um oliver, i assume we're not going to hear remarks from fox's attorneys. um one question i have is that newsmax and o a n. which are these much smaller right wing propaganda channels they were forced to read statements on air in which they acknowledged the falsehoods they shared with their viewers. is anybody who is watching fox going to learn about this? well jake, the dominion team was asked in this short press conference after the settlement was announced. whether there was more

grossberg going to testify in the fox news dominion trial? >> ms. grossberg is ready to tell the truth in any appropriate form she has already, you know, taken on the, you know, the david vers versus goliath battle of fox news to treat her as something less than a human being and not afford her work opportunity and the promotion she deserved to executive producer, and then to actually try to scapegoat her and try to hide information that exculpated her from having anything to do with this big lie perpetrated. and in fact one of the tapes you played the question -- the voice on that tape is ms. grossberg's. she's the one who asks the questions about the voting machines because she organized that interview in order to get to the bought of what the truth was, because she was worried ms. bartiromo was not going too far in what she was producing. so that story never came out what the fox news attorneys tried to get ms. grossberg to say during her deposition is that nothing ever fell between the cracks at fox news in fact, ms. bartiromo we argue because t

ceo proclaiming fox has admitted to telling lies about dominion. fox simply acknowledging rulings that determine certain claims about dominion to be false. the case centered on fox's baseless reporting that dominion voting machines flipped votes and skewed 2020 election results despite privately acknowledging those claims were false. today's settlement less than the $1.6 billion dominion was seeking. our stephanie gosk is at the courthouse in delaware steph, what was it like in the courtroom when the judge announced the settlement >> reporter: you know, lester, we came back from a lunch break, expecting opening statements, but the jury never came in the delay stretched into hours, and then the judge came in. and with very little ceremony said an agreement had been reached, and just like that, the trial that was supposed to last five to six weeks was over "the parties have resolved their case. with those words, the landmark trial between dominion and fox news was over before it began. the 12-person jury seated just this morning was thanked for its s

so, if dominion wants to dominion could conduct mor depositions on fox news dime judges orders. we don't know if dominion is actually going to do that, these tapes were explosive enough that the judge literall sanctioned fox news for no sharing them abby grossberg and her legal team have let us have thes recordings, tonight. so, without further ado, thi is rudy giuliani and fox new host, maria bartiromo, talking off air on november 8th, 2020. off air, mr. giuliani seem pretty candid about the fact that he has no evidence that there is anything wrong with dominion voting machines >> i'm going to be asking yo for as much evidence as you ca tell us about these lawsuits whatever you can tell us i terms of evidence, would b really helpful okay, great. >> i can tell you exactly what we have. >> perfect >> and what about the software this dominion software >> that's a little harder. >> seems troubling to tell you right, it's bein analyzed right now i mean, there are a couple o races that have been reverse because the democrat was tripl counted, two already i michigan now whether that a

that was actually the crux of dominions dominions case in court. so in some ways i, it's unclear whether they learn their lesson or not. i think, you know, the lesson that they've learned is that they don't want to pay $787000000.00 again . so i think that they'll try to avoid that, but they, at the same time, don't want to alienate their viewers. who, ah, you know, who believed a lot of these claims and wanted to see evidence of fraud. so, you know, fox remains in the same position. it remains at the, at the behest of its viewership, you know, who, who believed a lot of these claims. so i think that the network is still in an incredibly tough position. but at the same time, it's the most successful cable news channel in america. you know, they print they, they really always print money over there. they're more successful than m. s. m, b, c, and cnn by far. so i really do believe i believe that they're, they're feeling they're feeling okay. yeah. donald trump once called rupert murdoch, a great friend. what did we learn throughout all of this about

dominion was false. the judge accepted a undisputed fact that fox was providing a forum for rudy giuliani another trump supporters to lie to fox viewers about dominion votin machines dominion got rupert murdoch to admit under oath that he could have stopped the lying, but he chose not to that was a choice he made. dominion has proved that tucke carlson was lying to his audience about how he felt about donald trump dominion proved all of tha before going to trial. and that is the way it usually works in civil cases because each side and a lawsui gets the right to subpoena witnesses and force them t testify under oath before th trial. and the trial is usually just rerun of what happened in th depositions, what was said i the depositions, and what wa revealed in the document obtained by subpoena in the pr trial discovery process. dominion has been able to make public all of that materia already. and so, in a trial, we wer likely to learn nothing ne that we did not already know and that is common in civi tri

according to dominion. he even sent her a text message quoting now from the dominion court filing quote. tucker carlson told sidney powell quote. you keep telling our viewers that millions of votes were changed by the software. i hope you will prove that very soon. you convinced them that trump will win if you don't have conclusive evidence of fraud that scale. it's a cruel and reckless thing to keep saying again. he never said anything like that on his show. as the dominion documents point out, carlson hosted other election liars like michael lindell. every outlet in the country. they go michelangelo. there's no evidence and he's making fraudulent statements. no i have the evidence. i dare people to put it on. i dare dominion to assuming because then it would get off faster. so this is you know, they don't. they don't want to talk about it. they don't want to say they just say you're wrong, and i'm going out making conspiracy theories go away by doing that. certainly no pushback there. there were times fox

universe of conspiracy theories. kazi rivers horn to dominion in the country. the loss of by dominion which sells voting machines and election software alleged that fox news knowingly add false claims that the company's machines have been used to rig the 2020 presidential election against donald trump. those claims help fuel the outrage that lead many trump supporters to stone the capital in january of 2021 men each them back is still believe the election was rigged. while the settlement is a heavy price to pay for the media company, it is only about half of what dominion was suing full. and it has saved fox news from further public scrutiny. and its top anchors and foxes found a rupert murdoch from having to take the stand so well, this settlement put an end to claims by some trump supporters that the election was ragged. i put that to washington correspondent amin s f will. right. this was a wide spread conspiracy theory. it was behind the impetus that was the impetus of the january 6 riots where so many people believed that trumpet won the election. they're

and only priority was making dominion whole.e heard from one of the lawyers this evening, who said in her view, that dollar figur was fair, both to dominion employees in the company's reputation, she the summar judgment where the judge sai the jury didn't even have to make a determination about weather what fox about dominio is true, because in his words, it is was crystal clear that what fox put out there in term of false propaganda abou dominion voting systems wa false. and she also said that it wa important for dominion not t settle until this point, havin all of that discovery, all o it, the documents, the tex messages, the emails, wher tucker carlson is saying tha he thinks in private donal trump is a demonic force and a destroyer and rupert murdoch i basically saying, oh, yeah, had the power to stop fox news from spreading these lies an conspiracy theories but chos not to the lawyer said this evening that it was important for al of that to be in public view and on the public record first before this company settled. >> kat

dominion was obviously harmed.magine a red stat governor doing business with dominion, but on the first point you made, here is my question. if you don't get an on-air apology, and if fox news doesn't correct what they said about dominion to their own viewers, they may never know any of this happened because remember, we're here talking to you on earth one. earth two is where fox news and its audience live. they don't listen to this, what we're saying they only hear what fox news anchors tell them. so do you feel that it would have been important for you to get in this settlement that fox news must tell their audience in their own words on their shows that they lied about dominion? >> well, we felt was really important was the accountability aspect of it i think whatever else happens, you can't hide from paying nearly $800 million. and having that in a public settlement and so the message that i think this case really has shown is that we will hold people accountable for lies and the civil litigation system can onl

and today, dominion held fox accountable.aid a historic settlement and issued a statement acknowledging that the statements about dominion were false. with that, let's get smarter with the help of our lead of panel, i'm sure they'r champing at the bit. jeff bennett, the co-anchor of pbs news hour and msnb political contributor, katie phang, msnbc legal analyst and host of the katie phang show she was at the trial today, an jeremy peters was also there, political reporter for the new york times jeremy, the jury had just been seated when the settlement was announced. out of this play out in th courtroom? >> while, so, katie and i were both there and you could hear the gasps i the audience when the judg announced that there was a settlement it was something that no one, think, anticipated, at least this close to trial. i mean, yes, there are talks there were always these kind o talks going on before trial, and the lawyers, very good lawyers, want to make sure tha they leave every often open. but no one expected settlement this b

is this a win for dominion or fox. it’s a win for dominion or fox.tainly for fox, it's the best possible outcome and although there is this massive pay—out, the alternative could have been much worse, in financial terms, and they save themselves the embarrassment of what might have happened, with high—profile stars being on the stand and there is pending from fox from another boating company and whatever happens now, would have had a significant impact on the case, without seeking more money, $2.7 billion soapbox in many ways saved itself the embarrassment and possibly saved itself quite a bit of money as well. benefits more from the settlement? it’s from the settlement? it's interesting. _ from the settlement? it's interesting. while - from the settlement? it's interesting. while the cause of dominion— interesting. while the cause of dominion was taken up by a lot of liberals, particularly people in the media have long said fox's _ people in the media have long said fox's airing lies, at the end — said fox's airing lies, at the end of— said fox's ai

strong for dominion, not so much for fox. there was an order this morning appointing a special master to look at the misconduct by fox in the discovery process. in my opinion those two, i guess, developments that occurred this morning right before they went to that lunch break resulted in the settlement we saw today. >> kate, the big uestion, of course, what does this mean nor accountability moving forward? >> well, it basically makes dominion whole and then some america at large is asking whether or not fox learned its lesson as a result of today's settlement in term os whether or not american democracy was made whole as well, i'm going to have to say sadly it wasn't, but this is an important first step towards accountability we use that word a lot, but it's an important word to use, because not only is it a hefty bilk but creates a road map for future litigation from smartmatic and shareholder lawsuits >> katie phang live outside the courthouse, thank you for getting us started i want to bring in former watergate prosecutor

but dominion is asking for a lot. _ revealed. possibly. but dominion is asking for a lot.. possibly. but dominion is asking for a lot. they are _ revealed. possibly. but dominion is asking for a lot. they are asking - asking for a lot. they are asking for number one, a full apology. fox's lawyers have said that is not on the table. and fox is going to have to make some decisions about how closely to follow donald trump now that the 2024 elections season is almost under way. dominion is also asking for 1.6 billion us dollars, which is a lot for a company last valued at 80 million in its last funding round, in 2018. they said they lost contracts, there is a whole lot of evidence of that and cut fox have said, show us you have had to lay off employees, show us you have had to close offices, show us that you were financially harmed and dominion may not be able to do that. weight it's fair to say, it's a pretty high bar to win a defamation case in the united states, so all we have said so far weight, it is still quite a hill to climb, as faras weight, it is still quite a hill t

dominion had accused of spreading false claims. that is voting machines help to break the 2020 election causing donald trump to loops. also coming up, a thief, fire in sudan, fails to hold. as the fighting ridges on millions of civilians were main trapped in their homes, some without food or water. and poland prepared to mark the anniversary of the biggest single active jewish resistance against the nazis during world war 2. ah, i'm sorry, kelly. welcome to the program. u. s. broadcast or fox news has agree to settle a defamation lawsuit by voting technology company, dominion for nearly $800000000.00. it means that fox will avoid a trial over allegations that had helped to spread false claims. that dominions voting machines helped reg the 2020 election against donald trump. it was set to be a landmark trial. a defamation case against the largest u. s. news broadcaster shed you'll to last for 6 weeks. but it was over before it even started. reporters and spectators had gathered inside the court room in delaware when the judge announ

, about dominion to be false. that doesn't say we lied. that says their fault, and they say certain claims they're not even saying they made those claims. they're not even saying which hosts and there's made their claims. i think that this is the best outcome that fox could ever have hoped for. once they got themselves into this mess, translating it from lawyer ease to english, but i take your point, alison that they they're not. they're not going to have to say anything on the air. they have to stay on the air. we fudge the truth. we lied. we disseminated disinformation. they're not going to. i mean, at least with gretchen's settlement, gretchen had a public statement that said. something to the effect of we acknowledge. we apologize and regret the fact that gretchen was not treated with respect and dignity. i mean, she got that in her settlement, and dominion didn't get that right. well and i mean, they didn't apologize publicly for whatever they paid to the family of poor seth rich . he was murdered and fox put

well, i'm likely dominion lawyers. there were no fucks lawyers available for comment in the wake of the case. fox did release a written statement in which it says that the settlement reveals its continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. we are hopeful, the state then continues that all decision to resolve this dispute with dominion amicably. instead of the acrimony of device of trial allows the country to move forward from these issues we heard from the dominion lawyer to that there was a political context to this trial. busy fox making very clear that at that time it supported then donald trump, and this the judge upheld as well that there had been bias. and in fact, untruth in fox's reporting. but this particular case is not over, but the problems facing fox are not because. busy there's a, another case pending from a company called smart magic, which also produces voting machines. and that is bringing a case against fox along similar lines to the bin dominion case, claiming even more money claiming

evidence presented in the case, and award dominion a lower amoun of dominion is getting in th settlementnion would spend the rest of rupert murdoch's life trying to collect that money, if it wa awarded to them by the jury. winning jury verdicts and civi cases is difficult collecting the money the jur awards you is much mor difficult. just ask the people trying t get their money from alex jone and those people are parents o children who were murdered, wh have the highest moral cas against alex jones, and they'r gonna spend years and years an years chasing that money when you settle a case lik this, you get all of the money immediately. fox is giving up and surrendering in a fight over the money, which is what the case is about. the people who are not disappointed in any way with this outcome of the people who worked at dominion, whose live would be threatened again when they would've had come to cour and testify under oath in this trial. here is dominion attorne devito brooke, earlier today making that point in a interview. >> there has been a lot of talk, a lot of focus on all of the fol

us wondered why fox didn't settle or why dominion didn't settle.lement process. it makes you wonder if there was anything going on with fox in that regard. i think there's also another important point to kind of dovetail with what george said, which is a judge has found as a matter of law that all of the statements that were put forth by fox news concerning dominion were lies. he found that it was critical clear that none of it was true to the extent that dominion pretty much shows and holds up fox as the banner example of how not to do the news, how not to do journalism, how not to do reporting, good for dominion it's coming at fox because it was damaged. damaged to the tunes of billions of dollars there was a ruling by the judge concerning whether or not the threats -- that's important for people to remember it's not just voting machines were pulled from jurisdictions and not being used it was death threats that were made to employees at dominion. it's the damage to the reputation for the company where the company may be hobbled to the extent fin

why did dominion settle? ultimately, it's about our client was about dominion dominion has been through a tremendous amount of trauma. uh starting with the 2020 election. largely at the hands of fox, at least initially , and dominion needed justice. we got into this case with two goals, accountability and justice and we achieved accountability when we exposed everything that had been going on at fox news through the discovery process and the motion papers. we had the last couple of months and we got justice for our client for dominion today and what determined the settlement amount. i mean, obviously, i know we're talking 10 times the size of the company, its massive it sets a record. it is, though, right at the mid 100.787 point $5 million about half of what you were seeking. in the lawsuit. so how did you get to the number? well i have one correction, the company's worth far more than $79 million. they were invested in $79 million valuation in 2018 , but their profits went through the roof. they were worth

it is dominion, fox vs. dominion. eyes on the court case. >> it is going to be a huge spectacle in part because by midweek you could see rupert murdoch on that witnessed and being questioned by dominion's lawyers. >> this is about the tension between, on the one hand, broad protection for freedom of the press, and on the other hand, consequences for the telling of a known lie. >> hello, and welcome to "the context" on this evening. we will be getting the latest from sudan, where gunfire has been heard in the capital after a 24-hour cease-fire was supposed to come into forceful residents of khartoum told the bbc the fighting hasn't stopped. the rival generals whose troops have been fighting for control agreed to a humanitarian pause to allow civilians to escape. there are signs of recovery in the afghan economy. the u.n. says those assigns are weak and at risk of being undone by recent restrictions on women working at ngo's. the parade rehearsals under the cover of my time as the king's coronation -- of nighttime as th
