@holon42 @Alfred Not a lawyer, just seems to me the case is about reputational damage.
Fox may be able to negotiate a lower financial penalty but Dominion's goal is to restore brand damage.
To (begin to) repair brand damage Fox has to admit wrongdoing. If they admit wrongdoing they can be sued by additional stakeholders and incur action by the FCC.
I bet $.50 Fox settles and also rebrands.
