Somebody blinked and it was about money; this time $787.5 million. No news about an apology other than admitting they may have fibbed, as Fox News dodges a bullet about having to actually tell the truth.

Breaking: A settlement has been reached in the $1.6 billion defamation case between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems, the judge has announced in court. @CNN reporting

Washington — Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News have reached a deal to resolve the $1.6 billion defamation case the electronic voting company brought against the cable news giant over unfounded accusations broadcast on its air that Dominion helped rig the 2020 presidential election against former President Donald Trump.

Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis announced that the "case has been resolved" after bringing the jury and 12 alternates back into the courtroom following a lengthy break in proceedings.

The details of the settlement are unclear, and the case's resolution came on the first day of the trial in Delaware Superior Court. A 12-member jury and the alternates were seated in the morning and sworn in, after which lawyers for the two sides were set to deliver opening statements Tuesday afternoon. The settlement brings an end to what was expected to be a six-week trial.
