SORRY, PLZ STOP SUING

Dominion Drops Defamation Suit After Newsmax Apologizes

The right-wing cable channel had parroted claims that a Dominion employee tampered with voting systems, and it said on-air it was sorry.

Right-wing cable channel Newsmax has apologized to Dominion Voting Systems for airing false claims that an employee of the company tampered with electronic voting systems to sway the November presidential election for Joe Biden. In exchange, Dominion’s security director Eric Coomer dropped Newsmax as a defendant in a defamation suit. “We would like to apologize for any harm that our reporting of the allegations against Dr. Coomer may have caused to Dr. Coomer and his family,” the network said in a statement, which was also read on air. Newsmax further said it found no evidence that Coomer conspired with antifa or that the accusations it promoted from Donald Trump’s attorneys and allies were true.
