b"Original air-date 4-19-2023. On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 If you were hoping that Dominion Voting Systems was interested defending democracy rather than their bottom line, think again. Many are disappointed that there will be no public trial following Dominion's decision to settle its defamation lawsuit against Fox 'News' for knowingly broadcasting baseless lies alleging that the election system vendor stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump. But corporate election vendors like Dominion are only interested in profits, not exposing Fox in court for undermining democracy. Privately-owned corporations should never have been allowed to take over our public elections in the first place. But there are other important reasons that Dominion accepted a $757.5 million settlement in exchange for dropping the case. Attorney and Daily Kos contributor KEITH BARBER explains the legal issues involved in the Fox/Dominion settlement and why he believes Dominion had no choice but to take the offer. Barber also offers insights into the new, gob-smacking court filing by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in her criminal probe of Trump's attempts to steal 2020 election in Georgia, and the rape and defamation lawsuit filed by columnist E. Jean Carroll against Trump in New York."
