They got off light. They probably made many times that much just by stirring up the conspiracy theory day after day. Also, the company is even more famous now. Everyone knows about it and every one of the fox personalities. It was a win for fox.

Too bad they didn't go to trial. It would have been interesting.

Good thing there is another voting company suing them as well so maybe they will get further.
I feel that NYT should stop paywalling articles about Fox. That would be a good for educating public about them.

Right now all I have is a vague title. But I bet if I go to the Fox I'll be able to freely read their position.

It’s all bullshit either way.
