CNN host Alisyn Camerota, who previously worked a Fox News for 16 years, was decidedly unimpressed with the settlement in D******n V****g Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox and rebutted her CNN colleagues on air insisting that Fox did not actually admit to any lies in the settlement.
“Were you surprised about what Fox did?” Jake Tapper asked Camerota about the $787.5 million dollar settlement.
“I haven’t been surprised by any of this, nor am I surprised by the settlement. I predicted there would be a settlement all along because Fox doesn’t want to air its dirty laundry in a court case,” Camerota replied, adding:
And forgive me, I don’t share quite Elie’s, I guess, being impressed at the outcome. This is
half of what D******n asked for, let’s remember. And yes, obviously, it’s a big windfall for D******n. It’s chump change for Fox.
They make more than $1 billion a year. Their news division. And so this is I think this is a victory for Fox. They don’t have to put their big stars on the stand and they didn’t even have to issue a public apology. When you guys say that, they admitted that they lied....No, they didn’t! They’re saying that we we acknowledge the court’s findings that certain claims about D******n appear to be false.
That doesn’t say we lied. That says they’re false. And they say
certain claims. They’re not even saying they made those claims. They’re not even saying which hosts of theirs made their claims. I think that this is the best outcome that Fox could ever have hoped for."
