Isn't it weird that these news agencies keep admitting that they knew Trump was lying about the 2020 election being rigged?

Newsmax will pay $67 million to settle a libel lawsuit over its false claims that Dominion Voting Systems had changed votes in the 2020 presidential election.
As part of the settlement, Newsmax will pay Dominion $27 million this month and another $40 million over the next two years, according to an SEC filing by Newsmax.
The settlement was reached on August 15.
“We are pleased to have settled this matter,” Newsmax said in a statement, though it stood by its coverage as “fair, balanced and conducted within professional standards of journalism.”
The settlement is the conclusion of a lawsuit Dominion filed in 2021, accusing the network of knowingly airing conspiracy theories that claimed the company was involved in vote rigging. Claims included that Dominion’s software had manipulated vote counts, that Dominion had ties to a Venezuelan company and that Dominion paid kickbacks to certain government officials.
The $1.6 billion lawsuit accused Newsmax of making the false claims in at least 18 statements on-air, as well as in a social media post.
The settlement comes months after Judge Eric Davis ruled that Dominion had presented “clear and convincing evidence” that the statements from Newsmax were false and defamatory. The Delaware Superior Court judge moved to allow the case to go to trial to allow a jury to decide whether the defamatory statements were made with malice. That trial will not take place now that the two sides have reached a settlement.
Internal documents unearthed by the lawsuit revealed Newsmax officials knew the claims were baseless.
“How long are we going to play along with election fraud?” Newsmax host Bob Sellers said two days after Joe Biden was declared the victor in the election.
