Worse still, each and every other elected official, including members of Congress, who spread falsehoods about Dominion are also free to lie, and lie repeatedly, to the American people. Is it ironic that Fox News is paying $787.5 million for its role in substantiating a lie when the creator of that lie, Donald Trump, remains unpunished? Even more surreal is that Trump was president of the United States when he issued his false claims about Dominion Voting Systems and thereby had enormous reach, far more audience than Fox can ever dream of achieving. Phoebe HuangStonington, Conn.Dominion blinked when it went for the $787.5m paydayDominion Voting Systems’ decision to settle its defamation lawsuit against Fox News left me sick to my stomach (“Right before trial, Fox settles: Will pay Dominion $787.5m over false election claims,” Page A1, April 19). Multiple statements by Dominion left no doubt that defending our democracy was to be an integral part of its lawsuit.
