The highly anticipated defamation trial of the century is set to begin in just a few days, and the media world is abuzz with excitement. Dominion Voting Systems’ massive $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News has attracted the attention of many and is expected to have major implications for the network.
Jury selection took place all day Thursday, with 300 potential jurors summoned to court. The presiding judge noted that there were “more than enough jurors” to start the trial as scheduled on Monday.
Fox News will face the true No Spin Zone, where lies and deception are strictly prohibited. Top executives like Rupert Murdoch and Suzanne Scott and hosts like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity cannot simply ignore requests for comment and resort to attacking “the media” on-air. Instead, in a court of law, the network will need to put forward an honest, fact-driven argument.
In the lead-up to the trial, the judge has already lost patience with Fox News’ legal team and put them on notice. It remains to be seen how the network will fare in a setting where lies cannot be easily told and truth cannot be distorted to fit a dishonest narrative. But if the pre-trial hearings are any indicator, Fox News is in for a brutal ride.
