From the May 9, 2023 Fox Corp. earnings call
LACHLAN MURDOCH: Let me briefly address the settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We made the business decision to resolve this dispute and avoid the acrimony of a divisive trial and a multi-year appeal process. A decision clearly in the best interest of the company and its shareholders. The settlement in no way alters Fox’s commitment to the highest journalistic standards across our company or our passion for unabashedly reporting the news of the day. We’re proud of our Fox News team, the exceptional quality of their journalism, and their stewardship of the Fox News brand. Whether it be our coverage of politics and elections, world events, such as the war in Ukraine, or domestic issues, such as the crisis at the border, our journalists bring compelling news home to our viewers every day. The standards behind this reporting are not only what makes us the number one cable news network, but a number one network in all of cable.
