Reax: MSM ‘Deprived of That Opportunity’ To See Fox Lose

In the wake of the massive $787.5 million Fox News settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, Fox’s media analyst Howard Kurtz couldn’t help but take a swipe at the “mainstream media.” The parties settled before opening arguments could be made.

Mediaite reports Neil Cavuto informed Fox viewers about 20 minutes after news of the settlement broke during Tuesday’s Your World. He welcomed the network’s media analyst to react.

“I guess facing a jury has a way of concentrating minds in this situation, Neil,” Kurtz said of the fact that the jury had just been seated when the 11th-hour deal was made. “And, although much of the media was looking forward to six weeks of…frankly, a lot of people in the mainstream media are anti-Fox and rooting for Fox to lose. They’re now going to be deprived of that opportunity and the rest of us get to go home.”

Dominion’s attorneys addressed the settlement as “vindication and accountability” for a network that they said knowingly spread lies about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Kurtz contended Fox News was simply reporting on an “extremely newsworthy” matter revolving around the president.

“This had to do with the idea that Dominion voting machines. And former President Trump made this case on Fox and elsewhere, that somehow they were stealing votes from Donald Trump and flipping them to Joe Biden.
