FOX has very deep pockets. not that Dominion doesn't but in this case FOX won't run away due to the cost.
any talk by the left of Dominion clearly winning this case is mistaken
now take this for what it is .. VOX article which means it has a leftist slant and despite the "scary" headline the article does show this isn't as easy to prove as many claim it is

people can read it yourselves but a few relevant paragraphs
Under
New York Times v. Sullivan, the mere fact that Fox hosts and guests made these and similar statements is not enough for Dominion to prevail in its suit. Again, to overcome the bar to defamation suits laid out in that case, Dominion needs to show that Fox made a false claim “with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.”
Similarly, the
Dominion complaint points to several instances where Fox hosts correctly stated that allegations of voter fraud in 2020 are false or overblown. In a November 19 column adapted from one of his show’s opening monologues, for example, Fox host Tucker Carlson wrote that Powell has “
never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another. Not one.”
In fairness, the fact that at least some Fox personalities contradicted the lies about Dominion could potentially
reduce the amount of damages that Dominion is able to collect from Fox, because true statements will tend to reduce the impact of the lies. But true statements such as Carlson’s also suggest that Fox knew the allegations against Dominion are false.
