Civil exposure to the max

I for one could use a laugh:
Conservative news outlet Newsmax Media defamed Dominion Voting Systems with its false reporting accusing the voting machine company of rigging the 2020 U.S. presidential election, a Delaware judge ruled Wednesday.
Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion in damages to be determined by a Delaware jury in a trial scheduled to begin on April 28 in Wilmington, said Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis.
A Dominion representative said in a statement that the company was gratified by the court’s thorough ruling.
A Newsmax representative did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Shares of Newsmax were down more than 10% in late Wednesday trading while broader stock indexes were posting their biggest rally in years. The company made a stellar debut on the New York Stock Exchange after an initial public offering that raised $75 million last month.
Denver-based Dominion sued Newsmax in 2021 for broadcasting false claims that Dominion machines stole the election from President Donald Trump, who was defeated by President Joe Biden.
Shout-out to everyone who bought Der Trumper at the top of the market, you definitely deserve it:
Shortly after its IPO last week, Newsmax stock soared as high as $279. It closed today at $34.71
