Newsmax and Smartmatic settle 2020 US election defamation lawsuit

Given that this was about an election, I don’t think they should be allowed to settle without making the terms public.

Davis had also ruled that Newsmax could use the “neutral report privilege” as a defense in the case – a legal shield that allows media outlets to broadcast allegations if they are reporting on a newsworthy event and do so in a disinterested and neutral way. Davis had not let Fox used that defense in its litigation.

“Disinterested”? Hardly
