Matters less and less. Trump is doing amazing things with the nonconsecutive terms. Heck, by winning a nonconsecutive term alone he is amazing in history, something that drives TDS clowns like yourself nuts. I can't wait to hear how you hate Vance for some reason in 2028. Not things he does, just that you hate him.

Newsmax Announces Settlement With Dominion Voting Systems:

From the outset, Newsmax has always maintained its reporting was not defamatory and its coverage was consistent with accepted journalistic standards. "We stand by our coverage as fair, balanced, and conducted within professional standards of journalism." Despite its confidence in its reporting, Newsmax determined the Delaware court with Judge Eric Davis presiding over the case would not provide a fair trial wherein the company could present standard libel defenses to a jury.

Judge Davis also presided over the case of Dominion v. Fox News where he was harshly criticized by then Fox's chief legal officer for his actions and rulings. "From the very beginning, Judge Davis ruled in ways that strongly favored the plaintiffs and limited Newsmax's ability to defend itself," Newsmax stated.

Among the examples Newsmax cited:

-Presumption of guilt: Davis ruled early that Newsmax had committed defamation per se against the plaintiff in each of the 19 alleged statements – depriving the company of any ability to present a full defense to the serious claims made before a jury which ordinarily decides upon such matters.

-Suppression of critical context: The court indicated that it likely would refuse to allow the jury to hear that Fox News had already paid Dominion $787 million in a settlement — information Newsmax considered essential for the jury to evaluate damages and for them to understand the plaintiff was more than compensated for any potential harm it had alleged.

-Procedural irregularities: Dominion initially sued Newsmax's parent company rather than its broadcasting subsidiary, Newsmax Broadcasting LLC. Instead of dismissing the suit, Judge Davis simply added the subsidiary and then, without notice or due process to Newsmax Broadcasting, he entered partial summary judgment against the subsidiary – even before it was served with a complaint in the lawsuit.

-Excessive and intrusive discovery: Dominion was permitted to comb through extensive communications including personal emails, cell text messages, and other documents of reporters and company executives that were completely unrelated to the issues in the case.

The pattern of judicial rulings that consistently denied Newsmax due process led the company to believe it would not receive a fair trial. Faced with these rulings and other constraints, Newsmax chose to settle the case.

"The Delaware court under Judge Davis effectively enforced a confiscation of our property because our reporting was not always sympathetic to Joe Biden," Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said.

Newsmax believes Judge Davis' rulings and actions in Delaware not only threaten the company's own rights but also broader constitutional freedoms that will impact many other companies and individuals in the future.

"The judiciary's willingness to punish news organizations for reporting on matters of urgent national debate undermines the role of the press in a free society," the company declared.

While strongly disagreeing with the Delaware proceedings, Newsmax emphasized the settlement allows it to move forward with clarity and renewed focus.
