787 million dollars for having lied. It is what the television channel ‘Fox’ will have to pay for having lied about the election results of 2020. The chain has reached a judicial agreement with the company that carried out the recount of votes, after the presenters of the channel bought the thesis of Donald Trump.

Thus, bypassing all the codes, ‘Fox News’ dedicated itself to feeding the electoral fraud theory of the Republican candidate after the presidential elections, endorsing the lie that the counting machines manipulated the result.

In the video that illustrates these lines, we can see a presenter assuming that “there were irregularities in the voting” during an interview with one of the lawyers from the Trump campaign legal team, Sidney Powell, who assured live that “they were changing or adding votes that did not exist in the computer system.”

A strategy focused on not losing audience even knowing that they were lying. Dominion, the company that conducted the count, sued the network for defamation. Their weapons, numerous internal messages, among them, its star presenter, Tucker Carloson, who spoke of Trump’s lawyer like this: “Sidney Powell is lying, by the way. I caught her. It’s crazy.” Of Trump himself, he went so far as to say: “I hate him with all my might.”

Messages in which the president of the company himself, Rupert Murdoch criticized Trump’s lies while airing them on the air: “Trump has done our country a disservice by insisting that they have stolen the elections and convincing 25% of Americans. It is almost a crime,” he went on to say.

Faced with the public ridicule that this scandal could entail, Fox has finally reached an agreement with Dominion, to whom it will have to pay more than 787 million dollars to silence its lies.
