The article reports on the sustained assault on the 1964 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in New York Times v. Sullivan, which made it harder for public figures to win libel cases against the media, following the settlement of Dominion Voting Systems of its defamation lawsuit against Fox News. It informs about the apology made by right-wing news outlet Newsmax for false allegations about Dominion Voting Systems and the defamation lawsuit filed by election technology firm Smartmatic against Fox News.
