Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News

Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox News for defamation, claiming the network falsely reported that Dominion's voting machines rigged the 2020 election. Dominion argued these false claims damaged its reputation and business. Fox News defended its coverage, asserting it was reporting news and expressing opinions. The case highlights issues of misinformation, free speech, and accountability for media outlets. In 2023, Fox settled the lawsuit by paying Dominion a significant amount, without admitting wrongdoing, marking a notable example of a media company facing consequences for its election-related coverage.
