CNN host Jake Tapper on Tuesday burst into laughter as he read the text of a Fox News statement in the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit after the two sides reached a $787,000,000 settlement agreement.
“Fox trying to put a positive face on what can only be as one of the ugliest and most embarrassing moments in the history of journalism,” Tapper said, before reading a statement affirming Fox’s commitment to upholding “journalistic standards.”
“This is going to be difficult to say with a straight face,” Tapper remarked, bursting into laughter as he read a statement that said “This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards."
The statement continued: “We are hopeful that our decision to resolve the dispute with Dominion amicably instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.”
