If you think the main goal of FOX News is money, you’re missing the point. If FOX really cared about money, they wouldn’t have folded so easily w/ Dominion.
The money is just a nice side-effect of the disinformation.
Yes, but their viewers weren’t told that and don’t care to hear it. Fox is a pure propaganda outfit, and whatever the “both sides” morons say, there’s no equivalent to it on the left. The settlement they reached was just the price of successfully boosting the propaganda Trump demanded from them.
If I recall correctly, it wiped out most of their profits for that year, it’s not something they can do again and again as often as they have to. Fox News is a public company and it’s illegal not to act in the fiduciary interests of the shareholders, that would open them up to more lawsuits.
It was a big enough deal that they fired their most popular right-wing mouthpiece, which seems to be pretty clear evidence that they care more about the almighty dollar. They will continue spreading Republican propaganda in the worst way that’s legal instead.
Losing money is worse than losing a child to the ultra wealthy.
They don’t care about losing a child, they’re not worth any capital yet.

The Dominion settlement cost them a fortune, and they folded because they didn’t have a case. The evidence against them was devastating.

FYI, the shareholder lawsuits just got started in September.
