Fox News and Dominion head to trial in a potentially historic $1.6-billion defamation case

LA Times  

A headline about President Donald Trump is displayed outside Fox News studios in New York on Nov. 28, 2018. Fox News attorneys are also likely to assert that Dominion’s business has not been damaged by any of the statements made on the network. On Wednesday, Davis sanctioned Fox News attorneys for “discovery misconduct” after it was revealed that taped conversations with Giuliani, Powell and an unnamed Trump campaign official were not submitted in evidence. “That would hurt.” Fox News is trying to make the case that a Dominion victory would weaken 1st Amendment protections. “While Dominion has pushed irrelevant and misleading information to generate headlines, Fox News remains steadfast in protecting the rights of a free press, given a verdict for Dominion and its private equity owners would have grave consequences for the entire journalism profession,” the company said in a statement.
