The 1.6 billion number, as I understand, also factored in punitive damages, though I could be wrong.
FOX clearly believed they would have sustained more than $787.5 million worth of damage to their brand had they continued with the trial, even if the amount to Dominion would have been far less than that.

$787.5 certainly sounds a lot like:
"How about $775M?"
"$800M"
"Split the difference?"
"OK, deal."

Well, like I said, money wasn't the issue. Its the Dominion's reputation that matters. But a jury trial can’t restore a company’s reputation. The only remedy at trial is money. This is a company whose valuation is estimated to be less than $100 million, and they just landed over $700 million. They actually got a lukewarm acknowledgement from Fox News that they wouldn’t have gotten from a jury verdict. Reputation can be restored in the sense that the wronged party gets recognition and acknowledgment from winning thr case. |

They got plenty of recognition, including various messages pried from Fox News that they knew that Dominion equipment worked as advertised and that the detractors were full of %*$#. |

Ultimately of course, the best recognition is making Fox settle or pay Dominion, through the process of discovery, to humilate them. |

Smartmatic is apparently going to use what it learned and says that they’re not settling unless Fox issues an official apology. |

Excellent legal analysis of the defamation case on Fox, give it a watch if you got time: His vid on the Disney-Florida fight was epic, and partially recorded on location. But not in Florida. |
