that stuff it is good evidence, but ultimately i think that the recklessness here could be what this case boils down to. because as much as it is very headline generating and very interesting to all of us, to hear what tucker carlson said about his guests and what tucker carlson said about trump and being in this demonic force and this sdrodestroyer and all thatt will boil down to very particular specific instances of recklessness and it is the kind of thing like maria bartiromo saying, that woman who talks to the wind was her source, right? i think that is the recklessness that the case will return on so if this is the last time we get to talk to you if it starts tomorrow, what are you watching for you first, lee
of our favorite reporters and friends. jeremy peters is here, his byline is on the reporting we read from. always joining us, a law professor at the university of utah and first amendment scholar. and also joining us, lawyer lee levine he has represented media clients in libel and first amendment cases. and we start with you, lee what would be on the table for a settlement when everything that is public facing seems so far apart? dominion wants an apology. they want to be clear that these conspiracies were lies fox is up and on the air pretty regularly not really walking too far away from election conspiracies well, i think that there are two things on the table, nicolle. first is money and the second is what form of statement is going to be made and who is going to make it and where they are going
murdoch himself suggested? yeah, i really don t think that dominion is willing to settle for less than that. and that i think is what is holding it up. i think that the judge would not have delayed the trial today with the minimal inconvenience that that causes to the jury pool if he did not think that they had made some progress. and my best guess, and i have no inside information at all, butnt they are fighting over are the kinds of things that we ve just been talking about. lee, i wonder what smartmatic is watching this sort of 11th hour negotiation and thinking and looking for. what do you think? i think that they are probably opening up enough bank accounts to fill with the money that they are likely to get when they are up next oh, wow what bearing does whether or not
After Trump lost the 2020 election, Fox News' hosts and guests broadcast false charges against the maker of voting machines, claiming votes were "switched." Dominion's defamation suit argues the network aired false statements "with actual malice."
