America will change when citizens take back the government as we-the-people. Natalie Carter, from citizen to candidate, is doing just that. Big money for Dominion and a big win for Fox News.
Natalie Carter, the type of board member HISD needs
From citizen to candidate Natalie Carter.
When I met Natalie Carter at an event and read her website, it was immediately obvious why I took an interest in her candidacy for the Humble Independent District School Board. Her moniker is “From Citizen to Candidate.” And that is what it is all about.
Natalie has a bachelor’s and masters in the nursing field. She is a wife, a mother, and involved in her community. She decided to take off from her professional career to focus on family and community. Those who follow Politics Done Right know that we believe that governance is really we-the-people and not the caricature too many attempt to attribute to our government.
A lying Fox News gets off easy. Money talks, sadly.
Fox News has settled its case with Dominion.
Fox News reached a last-second settlement with Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday as the case raced toward opening statements, paying more than $787 million to end a colossal two-year legal battle that publicly shredded the right-wing network’s credibility. Fox News’ $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems is the largest publicly known defamation settlement in US history involving a media company.
The deal was announced hours after the jury was sworn in at the Delaware Superior Court. Rumors of a settlement swirled in the courthouse when, after a lunch break, the proceedings dramatically ground to a halt for nearly three hours with no explanation, while the parties apparently hammered out an accord. “The parties have resolved their case,” Judge Eric Davis said, before dismissing the 12-member jury, crediting them with giving the parties an impetus to reach a settlement, effusively praising the lawyers from both sides, and gaveling out the so-called media “trial of the century” before it could even begin.
The groundbreaking settlement “represents vindication and accountability,” Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson said. “For our democracy to endure for another 250 years, and hopefully much longer, we must share a commitment to facts… Today represents a ringing endorsement for truth and for democracy.” The right-wing network said in a statement that it “acknowledge[s] the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false,” referring to Davis’ recent ruling that 20 Fox News broadcasts from late 2020 contained blatantly untrue assertions that Dominion rigged the presidential election. But Fox won’t have to admit on-air that it spread lies about Dominion, a Dominion representative told CNN.
The $787.5 million payout is roughly half of the $1.6 billion that Dominion initially sought, though it is nearly 10 times the company’s valuation from 2018, and roughly eight times its annual revenue in 2021, according to court filings.
While it is great news for Dominion as they will be washed in cash, it is bad news for America because we will lose the ability to expose the lying charlatans in real time to the American public. We should not allow our airwaves to be used to purposefully lie and mislead Americans, irrespective of the 1sr Amendment.
