BTRTN: Hey, Dominion! Here's How to Really Nail Fox News. [View all]

BTRTN on the real problem with the Dominion/Fox settlement: it doesn't fix the fact that nearly a quarter of Americans continue to doubt that our election results can be trusted. BTRTN proposes for how to correct the defamation of our free and fair elections:

Excerpts: "In some ways, the handling of the Carlson firing reinforces a crucial point: nothing – not the Dominion lawsuit, not the settlement, not Carlson – is going to change Fox’s modus operandi. And that is a problem for all of us. You see, the lawsuit was all about the defamation of a company… Dominion Voting Systems. But nothing is being done about the defamation of the American system of free and fair elections. Donald Trump and Fox News conspired to make a full quarter of Americans believe that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump...
"Dominion won a big cash settlement, to be sure... but there’s a strong argument that Fox News also got exactly, precisely what it needed out of the settlement...
"There is, however, an answer that addresses all these issues. And it’s not that hard to implement. Dominion Voting Systems should take $100,000,000 of its settlement money and make a gigantic advertising buy on NFL football this fall. It should use this advertising campaign to tell Americans that when Fox News pushed a phony story about election fraud, it was lying. And it should use the ad campaign to tell Americans that its elections are free, fair, and should be respected as binding.
"That is now your job, Dominion Voting Systems...Yes, maybe you should stop and consider that you owe that much to do a country that built the legal system and paid for the courts and wrote the laws that enabled you to cash a check for $787,500,000..."
