Fox-Dominion settlement - Religious workers’ rights - Carbon border tax

Source: Bloomberg

1. Summary
   Immediately before Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit against Fox News was set to go to trial, Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis said a settlement was reached. Fox agreed to pay $787 million to resolve claims that it lied about Dominion's voting machines' integrity during the 2020 election. "We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false," Fox said, citing a previous judgment.
   
   When Davis rejected Fox's motion for a summary judgment weeks ago, he noted some of Fox's claims about Dominion were "defamatory per se." He also rejected Fox's claims that it was merely reporting allegations by former President Trump, among other defenses. The result was Fox's defense would need to rely on the claim it did not act with "actual malice."
   
   Although Dominion obtained documents indicating that top Fox officials did not believe election fraud claims, potentially damaging Fox's defense, proving malicious intent is a high bar. The settlement is half of what Dominion originally sought, and will not require Fox to issue retractions.
