Reply to comment by NAGDABBITALL in News outlets ask judge to unseal documents in Dominion's defamation case against Fox News | CNN Business by Miguenzo

They have been pretty vocal about not settling. They want their name cleared, not the money.

The proponents of "business" and " free market", slandered and libeled a huge corporation with deep pockets. Wtf did they think was going to happen?

They thought they’d get away with it because they usually do. Worst case they’d pay a fine and move on.

Dominion is one of the few companies that doesn’t care about the cost or financial damages from the case. They want their name cleared in a very public way.

I would speculate that their hope is that between a full exoneration in court (e.g. proof that FOX knowing lied about the anti-Dominion stories) combined with a significant enough amount of time passing (so people forget about it) their business can recover.

One can dream...I mean there are laws on the books against sedition and treason, but nobody wants to enforce them. Just look at all the January 6 coup leaders and plotters still running free.

Frankly, I admire them for doing it and will continue to do if they stick to their guns. I just hope they are able to keep their employees paid while going through this, because it ain't cheap.

Fox has also tarnished Dominion's name. No election official is going to want to deal with the blowback of using a Dominion voting machine
