During last fall’s municipal election, Sault voters were not immune to misinformation spread by Fox News. City clerk Rachel Tyczinski took calls from suspicious voters who saw the machines at polling stations
Dominion Voting Systems may have lost millions of dollars of business due to misinformation reported by Fox News, but the woman who runs Sault Ste. Marie's municipal elections would be more than happy to use the company's vote-counting machines again on Oct. 26, 2026.
Fox and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787-million settlement Tuesday in the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, averting a trial in a case that exposed how the top-rated network chased viewers by promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election. In a statement issued shortly after the announcement, Fox News said the network acknowledged "the court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false.” It did not respond to an inquiry asking for elaboration.
If the case had gone to trial, it also would have presented one of the sternest tests to a libel standard that has protected media organizations for more than half a century.Still, there was real doubt about whether Dominion would be able to prove to a jury that people in a decision-making capacity at Fox could be held responsible for the network’s airing of the falsehoods.
