$787.5 million to Dominion. Fox Corporation must face Smartmatic’s $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit over 2020 election lies on Fox News.
In Delaware shareholder a derivative lawsuit by New York City’s five pension funds and the State of Oregon, by and through the Oregon State Treasurer and the Oregon Department of Justice, on behalf of the Oregon Investment Council and the Oregon Public Employee Retirement Fund, against various directors and officers of Fox Corporation, the corporate parent of Fox News Network, LLC. Plaintiffs allege that Fox News’ leadership breached its fiduciary duties by adopting a business model that promoted or endorsed defamation by failing to establish systems or practices to minimize defamation risk despite the known risk of liability, including broadcasting false claims about election technology companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic USA.
On December 27, 2024, Court of Chancery, denied Fox’ motion to dismiss, determining that Plaintiffs argued plausible inferences that Fox’s senior officers, including Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch consciously prioritized profits over legal compliance and decided to violate the law by having Fox News defame Dominion and Smartmatic.....
Fox News paid $12 million to settle a former producer's, Amy Grossburg's, lawsuit claiming that Tucker Carlson's show was an abusive place to work, defined by bigotry, misogyny and bullying.
I am not surprised and delighted to learn someone is standing up to fox!! Hopefully they will change their tactics [which I doubt] or find themselves losing viewers... The only time I see or even think of fox is when MTN plays their clips! Otherwise, I saw through their propaganda long ago and stopped watching. Want to know something else? I tuned into that TV show of drumf's and after the first 15 minutes turned It off and never went back!! I found it ridiculous and repulsive. NOW look at what they created!! The idiot still thinks he's still on TV!! PATHETIC!!!
I don’t subscribe to Fox News they are the most ignorant lot I’ve ever seen. Not real news people . Scripted by their master Trump !! Love MEIDAS ! Everyone needs to subscribe , you can be free member !
Just....they're not much better. It wont be long till they're too afraid to bad mouth Trump incase he goes after them. Long live REAL NEWS, The Meidas Touch
Been doing it for a while! Thing is, I am ONLY tuned to MTN, and I share any and all MTN videos! I can't tell you the last time I even watched my own local news channel! I will share other videos but doesn't mean I'm obligated like I am with MTN! FOX is just not intelligent at all. Besides, it's pathetic to see them constantly report ONLY what they're allowed to report with permission from Musk-Rat and daddy Don!
Yes, PBS, AP, a little bit of MSNBC (for Rachel and Lawrence), I've scaled back on CNN too. Seems as if they don't know how to ask the right questions to any MAGA guest they interview!
YOUTUBE MEASURES HOW MUCH OF A VIDEO IS VIEWED IN ADDITION TO LIKING IT!!! Hitting 👍👍🏿👍🏻👍🏾 THEN MOVING TO A DIFFERENT VIDEO WITHOUT VIEWING A VIDEO DOESN’T REALLY COUNT!!!
*****PRO TIPS:*****
1. SPEED UP THE VIDEO!!!
• You still understand what’s said even when vids are 2X (max) faster!!! [You can speed up or slow down videos in 25% intervals (1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0 NORMAL -1.25, -1.5., -1.75, -2.0)]
2. SPEED THROUGH ADS EMBEDDED IN VIDEOS
• quickly tap on the RIGT SIDE of the screen.
• the info box at the bottom center of the screen CHANGES DURING ADS. THIS MARKS THE START AND ENDING OF ADS.
3. MULTITASK: Minimize the YouTube app or web page to view/listen to MT videos when doing something that doesn’t use a video player, like reading.
Comments - Fox News Attack on Meidas is Very EMBARRASSING
Thank you for your info. Sometimes, I just open an MTN video to get their views up without watching all of it because I find it difficult to stay focused on videos. Now I will let it run its entire length. I did wonder if the time spent with the videos open was a factor in viewer stats.
Exactly, haven't seen Jack from dumpty or muskrat... WE should NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW some Social Media to learn what OUR GOVERNMENT IS DOING!!! I REFUSE TO DO SUCH A THING!! Used to be that the Networks gave us the news in an UNBIASED manner... And the President held Press Conferences and made News Speeches to THE PEOPLE!!!! -- Not that I want to hear drumf's lies... but I'd like the choice to listen or not!
Already do pretty much all of that. I watch i=on TV and Comment on phone. But keep getting blocked by YT. Now I found SubStack I'm okay with it... Freedom of Speech, baby!!! And Fox isn't a news channel, they are listed as Entertainment. That's joke. It's actually STATE RUN MEDIA!
Why I love MeidasTouch and am proud to be a paid subscriber! Thank you!
"We don’t chase news and narratives on the MeidasTouch Network—we break news and set the agenda: a pro-worker, pro-democracy, pro-equality, pro-America, pro-climate, pro-freedom, pro-compassion and empathy, and pro-truth agenda."
Lead the Way The Meidastouch let the Faux News keep screeching and let General Karma(metaphor) handle this in his great FAFO offensive of 2025(think of a metaphorical military)
Not a religious person here, but the words that keep coming to me about how amazing it is that so many people are drawn to Meidas, and without tricks or violence...."The meek shall inherit..."
I so wish you were right, and something of Jesus was still to be found in the hearts of the denizens of the deep south.
As someone who is currently living in the rural Deep South (of SC), and has for about 60 years, believe me when I say that I have have perhaps TOO MUCH understanding of these Trump cultists...
There is no Jesus left here. The Southern Strategy was very effective in "rooting out" the beautiful, compassionate teachings of Jesus (Sermon on the Mount as prime example), and replacing them with hate for the Black Americans, and people of color. It took the GOP some 65 years to "succeed" to this degree, and they do not intend to go back to a compassionate, caring belief system. They no longer even deny that the SOuthern Strategy was their plan all along. Why should they continue to deny something (as they did for decades) they're just so GOSH DARN PROUD of?
No more "teachings of Jesus". No more Ten Commandments. Not even any more Golden Rule.
The CHURCH and FAMILY have been pretty completely replaced with TRUMP and HATE. (If Covid taught us anything, it's that these cultists love Trump more than their own family members. In all the time since Covid took some 500,000 lives of the cultists' family members, I've heard no regrets in the years since. No regrets pointed at Trump, I mean...)
Good question. The anti-vax movement has infultrated the Amish/Mennonite . They support RKennedy Jr. They are Trump supporters and would never support a woman for president. They oppose the Democrats and their health protection laws.
They are the most unprotected and then be the first to suffer the effects of lunitic/idiot RKennedyJr being the health leader.
Still, since these people ALWAYS felt this way about vaccinations (and were allowed to by religious exemptions) wasn't it just as likely in the middle of a Biden's term? They can't be less than 0% vaccinated, and I suspect they already were that..
It almost feels as though it might have been deliberately introduced, though I see little point. (And it may be pure coincidence, of course.)
Still, MAGAs are the only people I know of that deliberately contracted Covid in order to be safe from Covid...
Could be so........They are having measles parties with the kids..........absolutly acts of a cult.......once I realized they were all fucking crazy.....was out of there.
I left the church a long time ago. I found too much judgment. However, God is in my heart. Though, loving my neighbor is not something I can do, if they are MAGATTS. Right now in Standing Up, when my bosses/commissioners, are MAGATTS, I am having to choose between my country and my job, if I stand up. I decided, I choose The People of the great and mighty USA. I am in the north, BTW, but dealt with the southern hate, when Obama won. :) It is ugly.
I wish I wasn't in a position to agree so completely. I was actually baptized in the Southern Baptist Church (of course) >50 years ago, but the hypocrisy was just too strong a wedge.
We've lived in this spot in South Carolina long enough to have once had a land grant from the king (of England. Not Washington, DC.) We know everyone, and most of them are related to us.
But we're known for not hating, and for supporting democrats. So when my brother died 4 years ago, no one cared, or offered to help. And when it looked as though Dad might not reach his 95th birthday, and was bedridden with dementia at home last Christmas...no one came. (But our closest neighbor, and my mother's closest living relative, did bring some food to the door for Thanksgiving, so I suppose that counts.)
And now, as my mother (93) is bedridden, and I tend to her care ENTIRELY alone (despite being 100% permanently disabled), I expect nothing. And I'm sure these good Christians won't disappoint.
Just an hour or so ago I realized that Mom no longer knows me by name, or as her son. But now she knows me by name, and keeps repeating it in order to remember, but it's entirely unconnected to her past. She seems content to know me as her caretaker, and that's enough for now. (Maybe being free of any and all baggage is best.)
I'm ashamed to admit how welcome almost any distraction is right now. But not this.
Thank you, Jenny. I guess now I get used to being a family of one, but with a task yet to complete.
I have found in dealing with dementia and alzheimers that they remember things they did a lot, maybe a Marty Robbins cd, a certain movie, game, etc. but, people not so much. Pictures are good too. :) Stay strong and I understand no family.
My husband NEVER FORGOT MY NAME!! He yelled it CONSTANTLY, probably because I was the only one who stood by him and tolerated his crap for years!!! His last word on earth was my name...
At 71 yo and surrounded with Republicans...because they are too dumb to THINK for themselves, I feel like I'm on an island of one. Whenever I tried to talk to them, they told me I can't change their minds on something they believe in... I threw up my hands and gave it up! They're going to have to learn the hard way... Oh well... Now I wonder if they'll even bury me when I die!
What I wouldn't do to have even one neighbor I could talk to. On the way to town I pass a gauntlet of Trump yard signs.
At least now all their fantasies about keeping China at a safe distance with their shotguns can come true, and maybe they'll be sated for a bit. (So far so good! SC has had ZERO attacks from China!)
I know, right!!! My neighbors are mostly senior citizens, like me, or good black and brown folks that regularly check on us, pick up our tossed over trash cans or litter people throw in our yards. One or two have gardens and can be seen bringing fresh food to our doors. Another is a beekeeper, and we get honey as gifts, another has family in the country, with chickens, and we see eggs just appear at our door steps... I feel truly blessed to have this caring community that I can rely upon more than my own family. Which I feel is a terrible tragedy!! I am the only widow living alone, so the younger men around me regularly ask if they can help me with anything. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? The only thing I can offer is rides to Dr appts, grocery stores or listening. They know I am struggling, but allow me to feel like am I contributing to our little group. I thank the Lord each day and night. God bless OUR NATION... the one BEFORE drumf & muskrat!
well said, I stopped going to Church when I was about 12...I loved Sunday school and was in the United church's childrens' choir ...my Mom never set foot in a church after the so called "good Catholics" kicked her out of the Church for marrying a (gasp!) Anglican, my Dad never set foot in a church anyway except to get married and for my baptism. My Mom shunned all religious institutions after that except for one time when I and another girl were singing a duet on Easter Sunday. I had to beg her to come. She came , heard us sing and then left. My Mom and her sister were sent to an orphanage in Ituna Saskatchewan when their evil stepmother demanded that my Grandfather, their own Dad, get them out of the house...she had 3 daughters with my Grandfather and hated my Mom and her older sister. During the Depression, my Mom and her older sister would sneak out at night and go to the neighbors gardens and each dig up a carrot or a potatoe...they were so hungry they ate them without washing them first, they ate the dirt and all...organized religion did nothing for my family...
When you have time.......Check out IHIPNEWS who have been on MTN and they endorse MTN. Jennifer and Angie live in the epicentre of Christian Nationalsm....Oklahoma City and demolisth the fake christinas round the clock.
John Fugelsangs book "Church and Hate" will be out in the summer. He is on Sirus XM every night. He has the "God Squad" on every week
what is the saying suck it up buttercup. the bullies are getting their asses whipped. People had enough of the everyday drama. And waking up what matter's truth and democracy. Proud of the Meidas Touch and the Meidas mighties.
LOVE ALL OF THIS FOR YOU. I hope you'll consider sharing what ACTIONABLE items WE CAN DO to fight against fascism. Staying informed is good. STAYING LOUD is better.
It is starting to come down. If we get them to the lowest level EVER, we are winning. Keep up the boycotts. Leave amazon and Facebook. Walmart. Toyota. Ford. Kentucky Bourba. Tennessee Whiskey. Tank their stock. :) Go team!
I boycotted Walmart since 2011 and ExxonMobil and a few others. But now I will not support oligarchs if at all possible. Some are behind the scenes more than others. Starting to look at where everything I buy comes from.
The MTN, the beacon of truth through this muck and mire! Proud of all you do. I'm so glad that the Fox "news" fools are so upset. Just an aside here, Hannity said that he just ordered a tesla. Maybe it will have one of it's "mishaps" whilst he's driving it.
I so appreciate what they're doing and how they've grown, I don't think they will. Their fight is to broaden audience to hear the truth, and that's awesome, but the clickbait titles out of control IMHO.
OMG. I thought I was the only one who thought that. At least half of their emails don't get opened because of the titles. "I'll keep this short." I read the first few sentences and delete. They do a great job of reporting on real news, but they need to stop with the Fox News gloating. It's not news. The ad nauseum mentions of the original Jim Acosta interview were just ridiculous. Love Jim, but I didn't need to see his interview mentioned in so many posts for weeks afterward. Save that space for real news. I'm already a subscriber, so I don't need the 3 or more paragraphs speil at the end of the bulletins about how they don't accept corporate sponsors and need more subscribers. Guys, you already have my money. Stop begging for more.
I picked a few paid and follow a few. Without Substack we get mainstream bs. These reporters do it to get the truth out. Some seem to have updates continuously like Meidas and they advertise quite a bit, including Let's Hit 5Million Subscribers. I hope they do by the end of March, if not sooner. I am so grateful for Substack and MeidasTouch. :)
It's been a bit much. I mean, they could include it in a weekly digest, but daily is a bit much. I personally think that people need actionable items. Why? Some folks are casual observers of politics. Some are new to the game because of these unprecedented times. Some are too busy to keep their thumb on the pulse. There are so many reasons to help encourage folks to DO SOMETHING and HOW TO DO IT.
FOX News is a total joke; they are a bunch of crybabies losers.
Fox makes a great target defendant.

FOX et al. euphemistically call this unscrupulous behavior 'Risk Management'.
Hi Daniel ... This legal eagle appreciates your legal eagling. ⚖️
Do you think the Smartmatic case will start this spring? I've been waiting sooooooo looooong.
I am not surprised and delighted to learn someone is standing up to fox!! Hopefully they will change their tactics [which I doubt] or find themselves losing viewers...

Proud of Oregon, but broken hearted over trumps desicration of America.
Sounds awesome! But can you rephrase it in laypeople’s English how Oregon got into this too? TIA
I don’t subscribe to Fox News they are the most ignorant lot I’ve ever seen. Not real news people . Scripted by their master Trump !! Love MEIDAS ! Everyone needs to subscribe , you can be free member !
don't forget CNN and other media networks are following FAUX PROPAGANDA NETWORK
CNN has both parties giving views, so they are a step above Fox…
Just....they're not much better. It wont be long till they're too afraid to bad mouth Trump incase he goes after them. Long live REAL NEWS, The Meidas Touch
The wife calls them Neanderthal Central. LOL 😂
I block it.
Me too...block Fox. Do not want their propaganda coming in to my home.
Soap opera mentality…just sayin’ it’s filled many a lonely hour for years.
Learn to play cool…like a guitar, banjo, fiddle..or support a musician doing it . Here’s to you music , thanks🫶🎻🎸🪕🎶☮️
At least a soap opera has a story to tell. Not BS. lies, and propaganda.
Yeah, what he said! Put your snibble gear on FOX. You’re playing yourself.
thank you for shining a light on all this darkness!!
👍Yay! Congratulations Meidas! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Too bad they wouldn’t see it as a challenge to actually do some accurate news reporting.
Except they aren’t really interested in objectively providing News, rather create drama and division.
Very true, and their "drama" is third rate.
Ms. Mackenzie, dare to dream. Dare to dream.
They aren't a "news" station. That shouldn't even be in their title. I hope Meidas does "squash them like a bug", that's what they are.
They're not even actually a 'News' channel, it's just paid for a$$licking of the Orange One
They are paid to lie and spread misinformation. They are not authentic news casters, just shills for Trump Hell.
I am going to youtube and even if I don't have time to watch ... opening all the MTN videos and liking :) ... everyone here should do the same.
Been doing it for a while! Thing is, I am ONLY tuned to MTN, and I share any and all MTN videos! I can't tell you the last time I even watched my own local news channel! I will share other videos but doesn't mean I'm obligated like I am with MTN! FOX is just not intelligent at all. Besides, it's pathetic to see them constantly report ONLY what they're allowed to report with permission from Musk-Rat and daddy Don!
We love our PBS too. Support your local , grateful😌
Yes, PBS, AP, a little bit of MSNBC (for Rachel and Lawrence), I've scaled back on CNN too. Seems as if they don't know how to ask the right questions to any MAGA guest they interview!
They are afraid to. See who were fired? The gals are on Bluesky and boy do they let it out! Honest reporting on Bluesky. Maddow, Acosta, Reid.
they're coming after PBS also. That's what wanna be dictators do, control what the media reports.
Same. I don't watch mainstream TV.
Same! Ditto etc

What I like is that they back the facts and show you videos in their video reporting so you get the truth.

Exactly.
Lead the Way The Meidastouch let the Faux News keep screeching and let General Karma(metaphor) handle this in his great FAFO offensive of 2025(think of a metaphorical military)
Sing it!
General Karma's gonna get you...
Gonna knock Fox off its feet...
Faux News is a sinking ship as is the republiCant party.
Deep sigh as I am reminded we felt the same way as we sailed confidently into November last year...
Keep the faith my friend! We fight on!
Go Meidastouch go!
You go Boys and a Shout Out to the Meidas Mighty!
Good job Meidas Touch. Just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s working.
Love my Meidas!
Keep it up! 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Not a religious person here, but the words that keep coming to me about how amazing it is that so many people are drawn to Meidas, and without tricks or violence...."The meek shall inherit..."
Wende,
I so wish you were right, and something of Jesus was still to be found in the hearts of the denizens of the deep south.

In all the time since Covid took some 500,000 lives of the cultists' family members, I've heard no regrets in the years since. No regrets pointed at Trump, I mean...)
God is in your heart, not in a church, imo.
I left the Mennonite church as a teenager. MAD taught me all about cults in my youth.........not a suprise to me
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/mennonites-west-texans-at-center-of-measles-outbreak-choose-medical-freedom-over-vaccine-mandates
I understand about the Mennonites being at the center of the measles outbreak.
But doesn't the timing seem odd? Since this is, in theory, not politically motivated, why didn't it happen before now?
Good question. The anti-vax movement has infultrated the Amish/Mennonite . They support RKennedy Jr. They are Trump supporters and would never support a woman for president. They oppose the Democrats and their health protection laws.
They are the most unprotected and then be the first to suffer the effects of lunitic/idiot RKennedyJr being the health leader.

Could be so........They are having measles parties with the kids..........absolutly acts of a cult.......once I realized they were all fucking crazy.....was out of there.
Jenny,
That's sort of my point. That Jesus is barely in their church, and nowhere even remotely near their hearts. And NOT by accident...
The entire point of the (very successful) Southern Strategy was to replace love for Jesus with hate for Black people.
And this, which has turned out to be way more prescient than I would have liked when I wrote it going on 3 years ago:
"“Thou Shall Give Birth, and God Shall Raise Up a Righteous Army!”
So Sayeth the Six Disciples, with Alito and Thomas Leading the Chorus"
https://medium.com/@foofaraw/ye-shall-give-birth-and-god-shall-raise-up-a-righteous-army-f9f2ff1ea78d
Actually, I think Money is their god and power is their religion. I was appalled that he wouldn't place his hand on the Bible... the CREEP!!!
I left the church a long time ago. I found too much judgment. However, God is in my heart. Though, loving my neighbor is not something I can do, if they are MAGATTS. Right now in Standing Up, when my bosses/commissioners, are MAGATTS, I am having to choose between my country and my job, if I stand up. I decided, I choose The People of the great and mighty USA. I am in the north, BTW, but dealt with the southern hate, when Obama won. :) It is ugly.

My Mom shunned all religious institutions after that except for one time when I and another girl were singing a duet on Easter Sunday. I had to beg her to come. She came , heard us sing and then left. My Mom and her sister were sent to an orphanage in Ituna Saskatchewan when their evil stepmother demanded that my Grandfather, their own Dad, get them out of the house...she had 3 daughters with my Grandfather and hated my Mom and her older sister. During the Depression, my Mom and her older sister would sneak out at night and go to the neighbors gardens and each dig up a carrot or a potatoe...they were so hungry they ate them without washing them first, they ate the dirt and all...organized religion did nothing for my family...
I call myself Spiritual these days, as the white nationalists, racists, cry Christian. Definitely don't follow any belief I have.
When you have time.......Check out IHIPNEWS who have been on MTN and they endorse MTN. Jennifer and Angie live in the epicentre of Christian Nationalsm....Oklahoma City and demolisth the fake christinas round the clock.
John Fugelsangs book "Church and Hate" will be out in the summer. He is on Sirus XM every night. He has the "God Squad" on every week
Thank you.
I'll take a look.
The Meidas Meighty will inherit…
what is the saying suck it up buttercup. the bullies are getting their asses whipped. People had enough of the everyday drama. And waking up what matter's truth and democracy. Proud of the Meidas Touch and the Meidas mighties.
LOVE ALL OF THIS FOR YOU. I hope you'll consider sharing what ACTIONABLE items WE CAN DO to fight against fascism. Staying informed is good. STAYING LOUD is better.
50501. They have protests scheduled all across the country
yes, i follow them and indivisible. ROGAN'S LIST and Jess Craven have such salient actionable items. DIE HARD because of that.
Boycott oligarchs. :)
It is starting to come down. If we get them to the lowest level EVER, we are winning. Keep up the boycotts. Leave amazon and Facebook. Walmart. Toyota. Ford. Kentucky Bourba. Tennessee Whiskey. Tank their stock. :) Go team!
I have been boycotting as many Big Corps (and Big Banks) as possible for over 20 years. So relieved to see millions of others now on board.
I boycotted Walmart since 2011 and ExxonMobil and a few others. But now I will not support oligarchs if at all possible. Some are behind the scenes more than others. Starting to look at where everything I buy comes from.
Keeping as little as possible in the bank. A bit worried about fdic.
The MTN, the beacon of truth through this muck and mire! Proud of all you do. I'm so glad that the Fox "news" fools are so upset. Just an aside here, Hannity said that he just ordered a tesla. Maybe it will have one of it's "mishaps" whilst he's driving it.
Yes I would like that too
I so appreciate what they're doing and how they've grown, I don't think they will. Their fight is to broaden audience to hear the truth, and that's awesome, but the clickbait titles out of control IMHO.
OMG. I thought I was the only one who thought that. At least half of their emails don't get opened because of the titles. "I'll keep this short." I read the first few sentences and delete. They do a great job of reporting on real news, but they need to stop with the Fox News gloating. It's not news. The ad nauseum mentions of the original Jim Acosta interview were just ridiculous. Love Jim, but I didn't need to see his interview mentioned in so many posts for weeks afterward. Save that space for real news. I'm already a subscriber, so I don't need the 3 or more paragraphs speil at the end of the bulletins about how they don't accept corporate sponsors and need more subscribers. Guys, you already have my money. Stop begging for more.
I picked a few paid and follow a few. Without Substack we get mainstream bs. These reporters do it to get the truth out. Some seem to have updates continuously like Meidas and they advertise quite a bit, including Let's Hit 5Million Subscribers. I hope they do by the end of March, if not sooner. I am so grateful for Substack and MeidasTouch. :)
It's been a bit much. I mean, they could include it in a weekly digest, but daily is a bit much. I personally think that people need actionable items. Why? Some folks are casual observers of politics. Some are new to the game because of these unprecedented times. Some are too busy to keep their thumb on the pulse. There are so many reasons to help encourage folks to DO SOMETHING and HOW TO DO IT.
