@hubrys I was suggesting - but OK I botched the phrasing - that real discovery, aggressive discovery, probably was never done.
There's discovery - and then there's "discovery" avoiding the Mutual Assured Destruction of truly uncovering stuff.
Unless you're a 1L, you know that. But OK I was hurry & didn't phrase it.
We know Murdochs would have had to testify & suffer all kinds of exposure, in any real trial:

Also Paul Ryan (owned by China). We can now put a number on how much they wanted to avoid trial or real exposure. $787 M.
As usual, you ignored all my main points.
Fox is Regime Media. In USA 2020 election, Fox were the first ones to call corrupt Arizona for Biden.
THE FIRST.
And Sean Hannity literally wears a CIA pin, on-air. It doesn't get creepier.
Tucker Carlson is the most-nearly-honest part of Fox but even he is on a leash.
To me, Fox is interesting not as "conservative media" - which again they are not even a little - but as Controlled Opposition they indicate Overton Window, that is, how much the Regime will allow normie-Americans to say.
The point of the show-process between Dominion & Fox is to stop normie-Americans from saying truth..... that 2020 election was 100% fraudulent making Biden Regime illegitimate.
Regime Media OF COURSE moves to hide Regime Election Rigging. After a suitable show.
Fox never wanted the election-rigging truth to come out, any more than Dominion, DNC, DOJ, CIA or any other Regime organ did.
How do we know? Because
- Fox was, in reality and again, FIRST to call key states for Biden Regime in 2020. (Contra lib myth.) And
- Fox just paid &787m to keep all dirty laundry hidden
USA is new Soviet Union. As I said:
Let's add: Imagine being dumb enough to defend a "dramatic" (but prob pre-arranged) settlement.
