DAMMIT.  It's the right decision for Smartmatic, but... DAMMIT!

 

 

Voting systems provider Smartmatic has settled a lawsuit it brought after the 2020 election against conservative media outlet One America News Network (OANN).

 

Erik Connolly, Smartmatic’s lead attorney, confirmed the company had settled with the outlet in a statement to The Hill, saying “Smartmatic has resolved its litigation against OANN through a confidential settlement.” No further details on the settlement were provided.

 

OANN is just one of three news networks Smartmatic sued after the 2020 presidential election for what the company has argued was its malicious airing of false theories about voter fraud and its software.

 

Smartmatic still has litigation pending against cable channels Newsmax and Fox News over its coverage of the election.  OANN briefly rose in popularity during and after the 2020 election thanks to promotion by former President Trump and his allies.

A settlement was inevitable. The Dominion lawsuit with Fox was great because of the discovery that went public. OAN didn’t want that happening to them and knew they would lose in a trial.

They certainly know their audience. 

The pandering is ridiculous. What the man did was reprehensible, even if you are of the opinion he shouldn't go to jail for it, to pretend like he's being persecuted and then normalize paying off women as if it's something all politicians do or should be able to do... why are any of us okay with this?

For all the grandstanding by repubs about Character Counts! back in the day, there was always a practical element of this stance. If a person’s past was free of shame and ridicule (seems like a long time ago, I know) then that person could not be compromised, beholden to others or even blackmailed regarding their past. Very simple, and in fact we are seeing it play out currently although today’s repubs have buried their heads regarding the shame. 
 

No, Fox, generally speaking we don’t want compromised individuals holding office in a well functioning democracy, as it can lead to decisions centered on self-preservation rather than the goals of the office.
