Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Josh Marshall Is Right, Part A Million

 Marshall's takes on the media landscape are usually among the best and that's true about the Fox-Dominion lawsuit.

This is likely the largest actual settlement in history. Dominion is making a ton of money off this. However, if you wanted the case to somehow "takedown" Fox or create some sort of emotional catharsis, you were never going to get that. In fact, you might get justice from the courts, but you are unlikely to get some grand, emotionally rewarding payoff.
