Behind him. theres no longer any pretense that they are out for conservative values. its all about just viewership as we saw in the $787,500,000 settlement with dominion. its all just about. they dont care about journalism. they dont care about conservative principles. all just about having their viewers as a business model, and those viewers like donald trump and fox is willing to lie for viewers. like that, so its not just donald trump. its donald trump and an entire conservative media apparat...

That fox probably would have been most incentivised to settle before a lot of the powerful evidence became available to the public, before people heard about the ways people heard about the ways people at fox were talking about donald trump, talking about donald trump, talking about their own sources, talking about their own audience. dominion�*s chose not to settle at that stage in part i think because it always had a public facing view of the suit and really wanted to use that as a referendu...

Represents vindication. and accountability. fox has admitted to telling lies about dominion. that caused enormous damage to my company. our employees and the customers that we serve. the 787 million fell short of the 1.6 billion dominion was seeking, but it is a staggering amount in a defamation case and the company is vowing this isnt over. money is accountability. and we got that today from fox. but were not done yet. weve got some other people who have some accountability coming towards them....

Offers did fox make? well, you know, its funny. i was in the courtroom, picking a jury and when i walked into the courtroom this morning, i didnt know it was about to happen, and we walked out and we had a settlement, so it happened pretty quickly. and what happened leading up to that, though in terms of settlement offers and what was going on behind the scenes, because, as we know, yesterday, the trial was delayed. so bring us behind the scenes. why wasnt a settlement reached before? things got...

Was beyond an hour and suddenly you began to sense something real happening it wasnt a minor glitch in term of an alternate juror or something like that. ive ben speaking to a senior fox corporation exec in the courtroom. he looked down at his phone and said, oh, gosh, ive got to go and at that point i said theres a settlement, its about to happen >> okay, so you had a spiedy sense and good intel from inside the courtroom, david, but do you have a sense of how -- it feels like the admission of g...

Sure how its going to help. dominions reputation. but i think that its a win for fox. the fact that fox doesnt have to take it. he kept saying that to take accountability, theyre not doing that publicly on this statement is the most weak sauce that they find that there are certain claims they dont even say their box made the claim. certain claims to be false. theyre not saying that they lied. theyre saying to me false . sometimes false statements were made that yeah, thats not intentional differ...

Get into that. i think at the end of the day goes back to what are goals really were at this entire, uh, settlement and this entire litigation, which was number one accountability and number two to have some type of monetary settlement. and look, this is really the first time in the 2020 election lies that someone has been held accountable and held accountable in a big way. and so thats why we see today is a real victory. okay, im gonna open up now. laura coates. i think you have a question here...

And a good day for democracy. now, this incredibly large settlement of $787 million was actually just less than half of what the meaning was initially asking for that $1.6 billion figure, but of course, still a sizable number and i should say there was a lot of lead up actually to this settlement. the jury was sworn in tuesday. a morning opening statements were ready to go 1 30 in the afternoon. but then after a mysterious 2.5 hour delay, finally the judge came back and said that there would be ...
