According to these reporters, the Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, may be able to regain about $213 million of the $787 million payout to settle the Dominion Voting Machines lawsuit by claiming the defamation lawsuit payout as a cost of doing business... a Tax Writeoff.

However, Fox could save hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes on the settlement payment. The firm reported paying an effective income tax rate of 27 percent in 2022—a combination of federal and New York corporate taxes. If Fox can write off the full settlement payment to Dominion, it could amount to an estimated $213 million in tax savings for the company.

If any of Fox’s settlement payment is covered by insurance, Fox could not write off that portion of the payment. However, the company would then be able to deduct any subsequent higher premiums triggered by an insurance payout.


That's the last two paragraphs.

Mike Lindell Ordered to Pay $5 Million to Trump Voter Who Debunked His Election Lies

The MyPillow CEO is one of the most prolific purveyors of conspiracy theories about President Biden's win


quote

FOX News isn't alone in having to pay millions of dollars for lying about the 2020 election. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was ordered on Wednesday to pay $5 million to Robert Zeidman, a 63-year-old Trump voter who debunked Lindell’s claim that China interfered in the election based on data Lindell provided.

It’s a strange story. It started in August 2021 when Lindell claimed during a “cyber symposium” in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, that he had data proving China interfered in the election. He announced he would pay $5 million to anyone who prove him wrong, dubbing the contest, naturally, the “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge.”

Zeidman signed up for the challenge, which required only that contestants prove that the data Lindell provided didn’t have anything to do with the 2020 election. Zeidman, a computer forensics specialist, did just that, finding the data was total nonsense. Lindell refused to pay up, so Zeidman took him to arbitration. The arbitration panel ruled that Zeidman did indeed prove that the data in question “unequivocally did not reflect November 2020 election data,” ordering Lindell to pay within 30 days.

“The truth is finally out there,” Zeidman told The Washington Post in a statement, adding that he is “really happy” with the decision.

Lindell doesn’t seem very keen to abide by the decision. “It will end up in court,” Lindell said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Just another attack to try and stop us from getting rid of the electronic voting machines.”

Lindell is no stranger to court. The conspiracy theorizing pillow magnate — who has repeatedly claimed he can prove the 2020 election was stolen without ever actually doing so — was sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems over false claims that the company helped rig the election in President Biden’s favor. Lindell made the claims through several outlets, including Fox News, which on Monday settled their own defamation suit brought by Dominion to the tune of $787.5 million.

Leftist just ignore observable truths, which is just backwards, trailer trash, anti-science thinking.

A right-wing conspiracy theorist with deep ties in the conservative movement has been accused of grooming children, and conservatives are looking to distance themselves.

Hot off the presses

"A right-wing conspiracy theorist with deep ties in the conservative movement..." And who would that be?

Ali Alexander. The same Ali Alexander who helped plan and promote the pro-Trump "Stop the Steal" rallies in Washington that were the prelude and finally, the immediate precursor to the January 6 invasion of the Capitol Building by Trump supporters and sympathizers.

So sneaky, these "leftists" pedophiles and groomers. Pretending to be Trump allies and supporters.

They're not deceiving "Wichita", though. He knows all about these leftist pedophiles and groomers.

Really.
