Abstract

The article discusses Newsmax's settlement of $67 million in a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems, which accused the network of spreading false information regarding the 2020 election. This settlement follows a similar case involving Fox News, which paid $787.5 million to settle allegations of defamation related to the same election. Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis had previously ruled that Newsmax defamed Dominion, but the case was settled before a jury could determine malice and damages. Newsmax stated that it aimed to present both sides of the election disputes, while internal documents revealed that the network's officials were aware that the claims they aired were baseless.
