“The Daily Show” guest host Jordan Klepper was pleased to see Dominion Voting Systems get a multi-million dollar penalty from Fox News this week but, thinking long-term, he’s now dreading his future. According to Klepper, the lack of an on-air apology from Fox means he’s stuck going to Trump rallies to argue with supporters of the twice-impeached-and-once-indicted former president forever.
On Tuesday, Dominion settled their $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News for $787.5 million, almost exactly half of what they originally were suing for. In the end, Fox didn’t apologize for the claims, and didn’t actually admit to knowingly lying to their viewers, but said, “We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false.”
