Newsmax, a conservative news outlet, recently settled a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for a substantial $67 million.
Dominion sued Newsmax for spreading false allegations that their machines altered the 2020 election results, causing significant financial harm.
Despite maintaining the fairness of their reporting, Newsmax chose to settle, potentially avoiding a more costly trial and further negative publicity.
This settlement underscores the legal ramifications of spreading misinformation and false accusations, particularly concerning sensitive matters like elections.
