‘The left was salivating over Fox lawsuit’: Megyn Kelly breaks down Dominion settlementSky News Australia contributor Megyn Kelly says the left was “salivating” to see Fox News “go down” after Fox reached a settlement over defamation claims made by company Dominion Voting Systems. Fox has agreed to pay US$787 million in damages. Dominion was pursuing the argument that there was ‘actual malice’ in comments broadcast on Fox News around the 2020 election, with unsubstantiated claims made by then-President Trump over Dominion voting systems contributing to election fraud. Ms Kelly spoke to Sky News Australia host Paul Murray about the settlement. “The thing that I was relieved to see it settle over was I do not want to see the standards for defamation cases changed,” Ms Kelly said. “And the left was salivating to see Fox News go down on this and if they hadn’t they would have run around saying, ‘Oh my God, if even this speech by Fox News was protected promoting these election lies when behind the scenes we know the executives had doubts about it, then we have to change the defamation standards, we have to make it easier to sue people for defamation’. “And if you care about free speech and if you care about journalism and a free press, you don’t want to see that. “So, it was very good, I think, that the case went away – I did not like it legally as much as everybody else did. “I actually thought that Fox had a lot of grounds to argue that this wasn’t a good case.”
