Newsmax settles with Dominion employee and settles with him for defamation!
It's trending on twitter...only annoying thing is I didn't see the apology posted on Newsmax' twitter account. People don't really check individual websites as much these days so they should have been made to post it to twitter too. I'd love to know how much money the Dominion guy got. We know Newsmax doesn't have nearly the amount of money to throw around as Fox.
Anyway it's great news and I hope more defamation cases come against these lying right wing outlets. Bury them in lawsuits and bankrupt them!

Newsmax statement. Hahahaha! Eat shit
"Since Election Day, various guests, attorneys, and hosts on Newsmax have offered opinions and claims about Dr. Eric Coomer, the Director of Product Strategy and Security at Dominion Voting Systems.
Newsmax would like to clarify its coverage of Dr. Coomer and note that while Newsmax initially covered claims by President Trumpās lawyers, supporters and others that Dr. Coomer played a role in manipulating Dominion voting machines, Dominion voting software, and the final vote counts in the 2020 presidential election, Newsmax subsequently found no evidence that such allegations were true. Many of the states whose results were contested by the Trump campaign after the November 2020 election have conducted extensive recounts and audits, and each of these states certified the results as legal and final.
There are several facts that our viewers should be aware of. Newsmax has found no evidence that Dr. Coomer interfered with Dominion voting machines or voting software in any way, nor that Dr. Coomer ever claimed to have done so. Nor has Newsmax found any evidence that Dr. Coomer ever participated in any conversation with members of āAntifa,ā nor that he was directly involved with any partisan political organization.
On behalf of Newsmax, we would like to apologize for any harm that our reporting of the allegations against Dr. Coomer may have caused to Dr. Coomer and his family. For more on this, please go to our website at Newsmax.com, and read āFacts About Dominion, Smartmatic You Should Know.ā

Have they been forced to give an on-air apology?

I think laws should be passed that force all settlement amounts to be made public. It is in the public interest.
Newsmax lawyers sure managed to put a whole lot of words before the actual correct facts were presented and there is no admission of wrongdoing by Newsmax, just a statement of facts and an apology for their 'reporting' of allegations, which makes me think the dollar amount must have been substantial.

I hope Dr Eric Groomer sues Eric Trump next.

R6 an article I read said it will be broadcast on air. I hope it's on every show for 24 hours. If I were suing any of these networks, in addition to a huge sum of money, I'd demand them read a full apology on every show for 24 hours at the 3 minute mark (so viewers who tune in a bit late don't miss it) and also post a pinned tweet on their twitter account as well as on their personal website
This guy Coomer is about to be RICH. He's suing a lot more than Newsmax too:
[quote]Coomer is still suing a litany of other Trump-adjacent figures, including the Trump campaign, lawyers Powell and Rudy Giuliani, One America News, and the far-right website Gateway Pundit. Coomerās lawyers said heās seeking punitive damages.
I guess Fox was smart enough not to ever mention his name so he's not suing them. We know the company he worked for, Dominion is definitely suing Fox though as they were defamed

I'm surprised R4 hasn't already been posted to DL as fact.
