    Are you talking about the lawsuit over voting fraud? Fox didn't win that suit, they settled it out of court after it looked like they were gonna lose. The case is Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network if you wanna look it up

        Diegetic scream pointed out another lawsuit where Fox did successfully dismiss a defamation lawsuit. It's McDougal v. Fox News Network, LLC where Tucker Carlson accused some lady who had an affair with Trump of extortion. She sued him but the court ultimately ruled that "the statements are rhetorical hyperbole and opinion commentary intended to frame a political debate, and, as such, are not actionable as defamation. In addition, as a public figure, Ms. McDougal must raise a plausible inference of actual malice to sustain her defamation claim. She has failed to do so."

            There are a lot of lawsuits against Fox haha. It's why I'm including the case names. Seems like Fox won this suit partially because the lady couldn't prove Tucker Carlson's "actual malice".

            Maybe some hexbear lawyer can chime in on whether this lawsuit is relevant to cases that aren't about celebrities.
