I was thinking summary judgement the other way around, with damages being the only thing left to discuss.
But maybe Dominion wants this to go to trial now, as they will win and they may want to expose Fox's repellant way of operating more broadly and to have the courts impose restrictions on its future behaviour.
In Fox's situation, I'd be desperate to settle.
From what I've read, Murdoch is an unfit owner of a newspaper. He pretends that what he serves is news, knowing full well it's made up. So I don't think his organisation should be permitted the protections given to news organisations, which Murdoch hides behind. They should be exposed to any number of future lawsuits to get them to change the way they operate.
