    I’m all for Fox being held accountable to face consequences of their reckless actions…

    However, Fox has always been this way. Any investor who had done due diligence would know of their shady reputation. If you knowingly invest in a shady company, you can’t really get pissed later about their shady actions. If you lost money, that’s on you. If they had made money they wouldn’t complain so it’s kinda hypocritical on top of everything else.

      The obvious rebuttal is that Fox hasn’t until recently been paying hundreds of millions of dollars for defamation.

        You said it yourself though, “recently” and the title of this is “longstanding practice” so it’s not really a valid rebuttal in this case.
