The right-wing news channel Newsmax has agreed to pay $67 million to Dominion Voting Systems over its coverage of the 2020 presidential election. A trial had been scheduled for October.
Duh dey lied ta uss?
Fox now these guys. Maybe “News” should be taken out of their name.
Another one goes down
So annoying that Dominion accepted a settlement from NewsMax and Fox. I know legal battles are such a huge drain, but imagine how amazing it would have been for the greatest propaganda machine for the right, having to legally say they lied to all their most fierce supporters
I kind of wished these would go to trial so the public could get the facts.
Meanwhile Trump is cancelling mail-in ballots because “fraud”.
Finally! A win for the good guys!
No details about having to admit on air that News Max lied. Unless they admit culpability the disinformation sphere continues.
Of course, it was in their best interest and the grifters to avoid trial
Ha, ha, ha pay up freakin liars.
Lies don’t come cheap. 💛💛💙💙
Shoulda been a f****n trial.
Completely useless, unless they’re forced to admit that they deliberately lied. And not just one: a 30-minute segment on it in prime time, every day for at least a week.
Newsmax, another verified NOT news source. Fox lost a similar suit. I trust NPR.
They got off easy. 😡
Newsmax got off easy. Dominion should have bankrupted this bullshit factory.
Um, more succinctly
'for airing false claims that the 2020 election was rigged.'
Great news. Except it should be a billion.
👎🤬
Bravo! Excellent ... long overdue.
Considering what Dominion said they were going to do with the $400+ Mil from Fox (donate to Trump the remainder, after Dominion expenses), I am unsure if this is good news or not.
It's a good job Trump is banning these machines at the next election. It'll save a fortune in legal fees!
Yet the rubes will still continue to rely on them for "news."
Soon they will own My Pillow.
Yeah...the corporations keep winning and our food prices are not even affordable so we starve? Share the wealth. That's what a decent democracy would do!
Sadly it’s just pocket money to the billionaires compared to the prize of winning the White House that enables them to add noughts to their fortunes.
Sling and Ruko are Full of all these RW 💩 noise Megaphones.
But wait.... if they have to pay that means they LIED about the election being stolen?! Oh my goodness....🤣🤣
Not a bribe but a $67 million $ettlement because NewsMax LIED! Took lying NewsMax years to admit it and pay up! Damage was done 😡 Newsmax should go out of business.
Do the right thing Dominion. Contribute a big chunk of that settlement to NPR.
Good, newsmaX sucks.
Just call them LoseMax from now on. Another one of “his” news outlets getting spanked for lies.
Helpful Hint #1: DON’T LIE and you won’t be a loser in court or have to pay out “settlements” because you know you are going to lose.
Oh, they don’t want a trial, just like FOX didn’t and settled.
But they still exist.... Sad.
Is that all?
Should have been twice that amount
But Putin said the 2020 election was rigged 🤣 @nupe117.bsky.social @simonwdc.bsky.social #PedoTrump
#TrumpEpsteinFiles
They hopefully have to also admit they lied
THERE WAS NO ADMISSION OF GUILT IN THE SETTLEMENT!!! THEY ARE STILL SAYING THEY WERE FAIR AND BALANCED. BULLSHIT
Dominion has a lot of money to fight the Trump EO to get rid of voting machines.
ROTFLMAO!
Go, Dominion! Congrats on the settlement!
🦜🇵🇾🤥 Trump parrots Putin's lies regarding mail-in ballots 🚨 P.S. Release the Epstein files! 📂📂 bsky.app/profile/that...
Aaaahahahaha
It’s a shit lie, huh?
#MAGA were lied to? No shit! But it’s ok #MAGA don’t care about facts.
Liars, cheats, and thieves.
Sweet sweet schadenfreude!
MAGA supporters will still forever be taking about “fake news”, but not with regards to the election results or the stations they choose to get their propaganda from.
Seems like "right wing" is just a euphemism for loyalty to the Mussolini-founded Vatican City state. Whether it be good Catholic boys like Newsmax founder Chris Ruddy, Project 2025's Kevin Roberts or Tom Homan of ICE or the Opus Dei run Supreme Court.
In my eyes, that kind of settlement is no different than pleading the 5th. Shady, no matter how you look at it. Payment should have been at least triple that considering what that so-called "news channel" has done to this country.
On the same day that Dementia Don called for getting rid of voting machines. 🙄
The (successful) business model for right wing media:
"Yes, we're lying. Here's some money. Fuck off."
I think fining these companies is stupid and doesn't get shit done. There should be a zero tolerance and they should be shut the fuck down and banned from capitalism for a generation for shit like this. If you only charge pennies to break the law, what's the point?
Damn. I wanted Newsmax crushed.
Lies have consequences.
Now will people accept the truth?
This should be an eye opener for the universities, media, reporters, law firms and corporations. Don’t bow down to this corrupt government and these Right Wing outlets. They always loose when they stand up to them!
I hope it goes bankrupt.
So they have no reason to not do it again. Got it.
But let’s cancel mail-in voting and remove voting machines. Next, voter ID checks will include a loyalty oath to Trump or you don’t get a ballot.
Remember!?
They still have money after losing $67M to still operate? lololol
Say isn't Alex Acosta past Epstein Deal maker for FLorida as a PROSECUTOR & then Trump Labor Secretary 1st Term until the noise about Epstein had him leaving the Trump Cabinet 🤔 ir.newsmax.com/news/news-de...
Newsmax is a top U.S. news outlet offering independent coverage via TV, streaming, and print. The 4th highest-rated cable news channel reaching 40M+ viewers.
Seems like that settlement is a “win” for Newsmax, considering what Dominion received from Fox…🤨
NACO?!
I hate these settlements where they don't have to admit wrong doing. They should be forced to make a statement admitting they lied. They should be forced to advertise it on multiple stations. They should be forced ro air it after every single one of their "news" segments for a year!!
I can almost guarantee any verdict in favor of the injured parties will be appealed and overturned by order of Trump. The U S. Is now little more than a wealthy banana republic.
Newsmax and Fox never news channels have to pay for their Lies. We the people need to sue Trump for ALL his lies. Remember the movie Liar Liar. We should challenge Trump to be truthful. Big laugh if that's ever going to happen.
That’s it?
Cuomo's fat paycheck could be at risk.
They lied. They were caught lying. They were found monetarily liable for lying to viewers. Why do they still have viewers!? 🤔
Good. Wish it had been more.
All because you wanted to get away with a lie? Suck it!!!
Discredit trust, go bust!
And they continue to lie. 🙄
Damn! Lying is getting more and more expensive these days...
Should have gone to trial. Only way to stop the lying machines
Smartmatic is either complicit or needs to get busy
Well Dominion is really doing well with the media lately huh?
Newsmax is really a bottom feeder Even their females use Clearance makeup
Oh, is Newsmax doing news now? Do tell!
$67 million is not enough for their blatant lying to millions of viewers, but I suppose a win is a win.
It should have been 67 Billion.
pittance
That's all?
HMM…WE SHOULD GET A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND SUE THEM FOR LYING AND LEADING MAGA ASTRAY. 😂🤣😂
I think the could have gotten more from a gofundme and allow the contributors their claim.
Release the Epstein list.... Lock them up...
67 million is peanuts. They should have gone bankrupt over this.
oh darn, no xmas bonuses
Newsmax is neither news nor maxium.
Should have been more!
The lying about 2020 will continue. Get this settlement news out there.
Only $67 million? Shameful
You would think this would wake up MAGA voters. They were lied to. Yet somehow the Power of Stupid will prevent that.
Stop calling this rank propaganda machine a “news outlet.” They wouldn’t have need sued for news, let alone convicted of it.
Part of the settlement ought to include the publication of a retraction (“voting machines were NOT tampered with, etc.”) that is accessible to anyone using Newsmax. (Same with Fox!) Is it? These media constantly lie. When will they be required to publicly admit it?
And no formal apology or broadcast telling the trump-dumps that Newsmax lied to them. This is hardly a punishment or impediment to the next set of devastating lies they'll tell.
Good ole Dominion, they still feel they have no obligation to help defend our democracy from the evils of fascism. Just like they let the Fox Propaganda Network off the hook, they saw no need to hold Newsmax accountable for their actions either.
"Just write us a big fat check, then we be good". 👍
"In a statement, Newsmax did not admit any wrongdoing. It maintained that its 2020 election coverage was "fair, balanced, and conducted within professional standards of journalism."
Why only $20 million? put these mfs out of business!
Should be more.
So what about the president saying yesterday that Putin said 2020 was stolen due to paper ballots. McDonald is allowed to spew that false information from a literal KGB agent, while on the same day this was announced?
This is insanity.
Fake news, one of Trump's favorite channeling devices, why don't we just impeach him and move on?
I know they're not the juggernaut network that Fox News is, but they still got off easy. They should have had to pay at least double that amount. $67M is hardly an incentive for them to clean up their act. It should be an amount that really hits them in their bottom-feeder line.
Who did they pay?
Anyone know what’s going on with the smartmatic case against Fox. That’s was for more money in liability and damages.
Not enough.
Well that's one way for Newsmax to avoid discovery
Dominion should not have settled. Americans need to sue most of our media into bankruptcy.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
it’s false and liable coverage
Should be $67M just for promoting themselves as a news organization.
What ever happened to Truth in advertising?
Pardon that, Orange Shitler.
WHY SETTLE????
They simply should not be allowed to broadcast their propaganda anymore. 🤷♂️
Dominion weren't the only concern slandered by NewsMax. Please deliver the killshot to this fakeass "News" channel.
Right wing nut job liars, FA and FO. Bravo a**holes.👏
@newsmax.com suck it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The price in $$ keeps rising.
Nazi Pravda is bleeding the ill loot it got through lies, deception, and deceit. 😁😁
cheap.. very cheap.. dominion must have realized trump era courts wouldn't compensate them.. ameriKan regime self-destroying every day...
Wish like hell the courts could/would demand they tell the truth that THEY lied! It isn’t a case of there being another side! There is NO such thing as ALTERNATIVE facts!!! THEY are LIES pure and simple.
Not enough to bankrupt them.
More should be paying HUGE fees for LYING for Phatty & his delusional notions he really really really won the election.
Great news! For justice
Should have bankrupt them instead.
Too bad. I wanted to see the evidence in this case.
More pedo supporters need to pay !
Will newsmax report on this? No and if they do they will lie about it and so it goes on and on… just like Fox
That's it?
They got off easy. Sending this to my mother though. 😅
Woohoo!! More winning for Democracy. Hold All LYING Public figures Accountable.💙💯💙
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🖕🖕🖕
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And Newsmax is settling but denying any wrongdoing.
It may be just a Canadian thing, but when we see a company settle out of court, that means they know they will lose and just want to settle for less than they would be forced to pay by the judge or jury.
Technically, Dominion should put "conditions" where both News Max & Fox News should be banned from broadcasting lies in order to harm Americans.🤬🤷
Small price to pay for fomenting an insurrection and ultimately taking over the country.
Nice. To be paid out of revenues. That’s a lot of $200 spots.
We need an update version of the Fairness Doctrine. Fox, Newsmax are not reporting news they are propaganda outlets and should have to disclose that they are not reporting facts.
So, Trumpity, no matter what your boss says, YOU LOST in 2020. Period. End of discussion.
🙌🏼 💪🏼‼️
I didn’t know Newsmax existed back in 2020.
They got off really lucky. Wasn't that for over $1B?
Newsmax & Fox, 2 lying entities. Both have now had to admit they lied to their viewers. Wake up, people!
Peanuts
Probably included that they don’t admit any guilt. You know, they’re paying $67M cuz their just nice guys.
The GOP represents and protects lies, immorality, indecency, dishonor, greed, hatred, racism, and misogyny. They represent the underbelly of society.
But no apology requested. Not one who follows this media will know about it. It matters not. Look how FOX was (not) deterred
Where is Rudy Giuliani these days anyway? Has anyone heard? 😏
Is that all?
LMFAO
Got away easy
Good! We need to send a strong message that lies have consequences.
Should have been a lot more!
Got off easy ... Fox paid $787.5.m
Modern day TASS
What do they have to hide? Scared to go to trial...
Newsmax, OAN, Fox, Sinclair, Breitbart, Steve Bannon, and others are all the same. Nutcases, total liars, and mostly angry white people hoping for the return to about 1860...
Pffft that’s all?
The right wing billionaire owners can afford this. They should have gone to court and asked for the same amount they got from Fox News.
But but but, I thought the 2020 election was rigged?
Not enough!!!!
SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO COURT so it would have been in the news right before the election They could have gotten a MUCH BIGGER REWARD.
so, a big ass voting machine company gets a bunch of money
but the country was fucked over by these boobs. what the fuck do WE get?
Yes‼️
Far too little.
Financial losses work on sociopaths like the rights media because without empathy they want fascism.
They got off cheap
Fuck ShnoozeMax, nothing but russian and radical right-wing nut propaganda
Newsmax claims that the court's actions, in this case and against Fox, "represent a direct attack on free speech and a free press." Except Newsmax lied, and knew they lied. Why else would they settle?
Does NEWSMAX even have $67M.
I think they, pretty sure they, pay all of their highly popular celebrity reporters $7.25/hr.
Minimum wage is great and fair for everyone.
Oh well done Newsmin.!
Dominion should’ve stepped on their throats a bit more and made it more of a spectacle… just like Newsmax would’ve done if the tables were turned.
Let’s rub salt in their nonexistent wound #VA22 secure.actblue.com/donate/pl_gu...
Democrat for Delegate - VA-HD22
Finally, some sense of justice. I thought Dominion was asking for much more, though. But still, a little sense of justice though ultimately, I doubt if that will stop newsmax...
Good but the lawsuit still hasn’t stopped them from lying to the people
They're not getting away with a sufficient penalty for aiding and abetting a treasonous felon. NewsMax is worth 1.73 billion as of today, 89/189/2025.
Wouldn't 1.72 billion be more just?
Hey, they knew they were lying, and like fine Nazis, they, "fer only doink vat ve were told..."
2020? Oh yeah, the LAST fair and free election in AMERIKA.... See y'all in '28.... maybe...
If they are paying up, why is there a trial? Other issues?
Not nearly enough money.
Would love to see some of the discovery.
My fav… Sing it now
Damn it, we need a trial to out these liars to their fans. Somehow millions in damages doesn’t wake them up.
A good reminder that FoxNews also settled for ($780 million) their false coverage of 2020 Presidential election; and they’re still at it.
But is a public apology ON AIR part of the settlement? Until they are made to say “we made this shit up” live in front of their rubes, this won’t have the sting in the impact that is needed.
Newsmax didn’t agree to pay Dominion $67 million because they were right. Like FOX News, they lied their asses off. TRUMP LOST and Newsmax knew it.
Dear Newmax, how about you apologize to the American people and Dominion for your duplicitous behavior, pay the money and get the fuck out of media. You are profoundly dishonest and not deserving of a continuing media license.
That's all!
Cheers Faith
