mr. nelson thank you so much for joining us on such a busy day. this was there was in that courtroom and unexpected two hour delay where you were privately huddling with those lawyers. on the other side, the fox lawyers. so what conversations were you having to hash out this deal? and why did it take so long to settle? well really, from our perspective, this case has always been about accountability and trying to make right by dominion. and in the courthouse. we were preparing for trial. mr webb and i both so we might have been the last ones to know. but what we thought really at the end of the day was that the payment of three quarters of a billion dollars more than three quarters of a billion dollars. was a strong message of accountability, along with their statement. acknowledging the court s order that these were false. and this has been all along about those two goals for us, which is accountability and trying to make dominion holes.
fox, but against the others. newsmax what american news sidney powell, mike lindell, rudy giuliani and patrick byrne to hold people accountable who have helped spread these lies. alright well, justin nelson, this is the end of a one very long road for you. and as you just noted, there is much more to come. thank you so much for joining us this evening. thanks for having me. and we should note that we did reach out to fox news for an interview, and they referred us to their statement on the settlement that we reported with earlier with our reporter oliver darcy. now let s discuss this with our legal, political and media experts. norm i want to go to you first. what stands out to you? from what we just heard from justin nelson, the lead counsel for dominion. um it s a gigantic number. uh for a settlement of a case of this kind alex total of 787.5.
its air, nor will it be required to do any retractions reporters earlier. we re asking dominions lawyers and press people about that. they did not answer, but a source tells us that s the case. and i think that even though this is major headlines, and this is going to be such a huge story at the end of the day, i don t think this is going to fundamentally change the way that fox news operates. perhaps they re going to be a little bit more careful when they re bringing election deniers into interviews and things like that, but i don t expect to see fundamental changes from this network. despite the fact that this is a historic defamation lawsuit at $700 million being settled, will certainly be watching those airwaves. gloria we did here in this statement that fox put out after the settlement that they re there. they had this commitment, they say to the highest journalistic standards. do you think the public will see it that way? or perhaps exactly the opposite? it depends on what public
