On April 18, 2023, Fox News sold out the [[First Amendment]] by agreeing to pay an unprecedented $787.5 million<ref>https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/smartmatic-fox-news-lawsuit-dominion-settlement-complaint.html</ref> rather than defend the constitutional right to speak out on political issues.  To try to save itself a few bucks, Fox News shamefully weakened First Amendment rights. On April 24, 2023, Fox News terminated one of its few genuinely [[conservative]] commentators, [[Tucker Carlson]], despite his record-high ratings.  [[Dan Bongino]], the top weekend conservative host on the network, was also fired the same month.
