T-566 Days Until the 2024 Cheat
Crunch time for Dominion and time to get to work. But not before getting some funds injected into its war chest along with the removal of some vocal critics.
The Fox/Dominion lawsuit was expected to net Dominion considerably more than the $787M they settled for. So why settle for less?
Less is more.
Dominion and Fox cut a deal they both benefited from. What appears to have happened is that Dominion offered to settle on the condition that a couple of very vocal hosts were taken down.
Dominion would settle for less so long as Fox fires or removes Bongino and Carlson.
Lemon was simply low hanging fruit that would be sacrificed to throw normies off the scent. CNN also benefits since Lemon has been more of a liability and only served to bring bad press to CNN. This further repelled their Democrat base who had been growing increasingly suspicious about the over the top takes and overt insults hurled at white Americans.
Proof of Life
As soon as Fox was able to prove that Bongino and Carlson were gone, and only then would Lemon be fired. The timing was no accident. Carlson termination announced, Lemon fired a single hour later.
Dominion Take:
$787.5M (Did you all think Alex Jones could pay $965M? Not a chance. Neither did they. His defamation case was used to set the bar high.)
Removal of critic: Dan Bongino (priceless)
Removal of critic: Tucker Carlson (priceless)
Can get on with the work of their owners. Cheat.
Ladies and gentlemen it seems they aren't merely settling a lawsuit but getting the band back together in order to pull off another cheat. They cant have dissenting opinions within their own ranks. It wouldn't be a unified and brainwashing message for their viewers.

4/21 Fox and Bongino Part Ways
Dan Bongino and Fox are unable to agree to terms of contract on a Bongino extension a mere 3 days after Fox and Dominion agreed to settle. Bongino has been a strong supporter for Trump and critic of the many unanswered questions that arose from the 2020 election and J6.

I hear you. But it's going to hurt a lot of good folks. The poor, primarily.
Maybe that's the real bottom up, middle out.
No doubt.
