Fell for? You must mean perpetuated.
Yes, and more lawsuits are coming:
While Fox paid to make the Dominion case go away, Dominion continues to pursue Newsmax, Powell, Giuliani and other key players. Further trials are slated to take place in 2024 and 2025, meaning the litigation could linger long past the next presidential election and well into the Lachlan Murdoch era of Fox Corp.
They fell for nothing. This is by design.
There's even a trail of evidence to prove it.
Fell for? They knew it wasn't real.
Yes, the article goes into some detail on that:
The Post editorial eliminated any doubt about the POV of Fox’s patriarch. Behave with “dignity,” the editorial said. Stop with the “baseless conspiracies.” Start planning for the transition.
The next day, Sunday, Nov. 8, the hosts of Fox & Friends Weekend were told to stay away from election fraud claims. But the show that followed, Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures, defied the guidance. Bartiromo, all gassed up on rage and righteousness, heaped shame onto the network and spurred a $787.5 million settlement payment. That’s because Bartiromo became the first Fox host to utter the name “Dominion.”
Did they really "fall" for it though? Or did they just spread it because it fit their agenda?
