Why Dominion needs to win the defamation case against Fox News

Not all lies are created equal. For example, there are so-called white lies ("You haven't gained an ounce!" when someone clearly has). But the lies that Fox News, its hosts and its guests told about Dominion Voting Systems in the wake of the 2020 election are the type of humdingers that can undermine our entire system of government.

As we wait for Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News and its parent company, Fox Corp., go to trial, we should keep in mind that this case is about protecting our democracy, not, as Fox will argue, about subverting the freedom of the press.

This is a preview of Jessica Levinson's latest article. Read the full column here. Plus, follow the first day of the Dominion vs. Fox News trial with MSNBC's live blog.
