Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down Newsmax’s $67 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over spreading 2020 election lies—proving once again that truth has a price tag for right-wing propaganda outlets. They expose how Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy knew the claims were “scary” bullshit but allowed Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and MyPillow’s Mike Lindell to spread lies about rigged voting machines and Venezuelan conspiracies involving dead dictator Hugo Chavez. The hosts reveal how internal documents showed executives expressing skepticism while still broadcasting defamatory content, and why the settlement’s installment payments suggest Newsmax is cash-poor compared to Fox’s $787 million payout. They explain the legal standard for defamation and actual malice, while celebrating how the civil justice system is holding Trump’s media puppets accountable for election lies that threatened democracy itself.
