According to a company filing, Fox has spent a total of $894 million in 2023 on legal settlements. That is more than $100 million over its $787.5 million Dominion settlement in just the first half of 2023. And the multibillion Smartmatic lawsuit is still pending.

It appears that a business model of constant lying is damned expensive. Yet they keep doing it.

Viewer subscription earnings business model. Keep the viewer happy with the lies making more them money. Paying out settlement money is cost of doing business.

Start telling the hard truth knowing will loose viewers to other channels...

NOPE!

Quite true. As expensive as it is for them to lie, they apparently believe that it would be more expensive to tell the truth.

The more they settle, they open themselves for more and more lawsuits against them. They paid $12M to producer Abby Grossberg and I cannot believe this was an isolated case and there must be other employees who faced similar harassment.

Something not mentioned. FAUX go go tits up tomorrow, sued straight into the dirt and the Murdoch's would still be filthy rotten dirty rich. When you're that rich you could sit in the dark, burp and fart for the rest of your life and still not have any monetary worries. FAUX news* is just a tool for them to use in dividing/destroying America.

Fox News anchor: I remember, 20 years-old, going to Trier, Germany and trying to find the home of Karl Marx 'cause, you know, 1848, he wrote Mein Kampf. I wanted to know what was all about. So, that's part of the education in America.

And the other anchor and their guest nodded affirmatively.

Fox News and the rubes who watch and believe it make me think Idiocracy was a documentary.

A response to Hemmer's flub.

I was so passionate about studying Charles Darwin at college I flew to England to try and find his house, because you know, he wrote The Satanic Verses, and that was like incredible.

Perhaps a bit too deep for Faux consumer, doubt they would have heard about the Satanic verses.
