Rogan thrives on misinformation and reckless provocation, so accusing… Read more.

Fox News settles Dominion defamation case

On Tuesday, at the eleventh hour,  Fox News settled Dominion’s defamation lawsuit. The chickens are finally coming home to roost for Fox. In this case, the chickens are the lies it peddled about the 2020 presidential election. Fox did so to entertain rather than inform its viewers. And peddling lies was good for business.
