Fox knew the allegations were phony, yet its on-air talking heads kept spewing the lie. Dominion said &#8220;enough is enough&#8221; and sued Fox. The settlement means Fox will pay Dominion $787.5 million. It hasn&#8217;t issued an apology.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, though, I don&#8217;t care about the apology. I do care about Fox being held accountable for the lie it fomented. The judgment issued by the court holds the network accountable in the clearest terms possible.<\/p>\n<p>Fox&#8217;s agenda remains fully assembled. The network does lay claim to a loyal base of viewers who listen only to their on-air personalities for the &#8220;news&#8221; they consume.
