Fox News paid $787.5m to settle out of court and avoid a verdict in their defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems.  It was the largest known media settlement for defamation in U.S. history.  Less than a week later Fox unceremoniously kicked Tucker Carlson, one of the network’s loudest shock-jockeys, to the curb.
