Fox vs. Dominion Discovery Docs Show Employees Admitting Their Products Were "Riddled" With Critical Bugs Leading to Incorrect Results.

 Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox News, and naturally all the coverage shrieks, “OMG FOX KNEW IT WASN`T TRUE BUT LIED!”

 CNN chose to only report the Dominion filing, not the Fox response. As their lawyers argued in response to Dominion, Fox`s role was limited to reporting to its viewers the claims and counterclaims surrounding the election.
As an aside, the Fox filings you can read in full here and here (it`s 183 pages), also reveal that Dominion`s $1.6bn in claims are 42 times larger than what Staple Street Capital paid to acquire most of the company as recently as 2018.
Staple Street has already made most of its money back, by the way, with discovery revealing “Dominion projects revenues of $98 million,” for 2022.
“When Staple Street invested in Dominion, it paid $38.3 million to acquire 76% of the company. More galling, however, is the refusal to cover the admissions found by Fox, that Dominion employees themselves were not sure about the security of their own systems.
Page 15 of Fox`s filing reveals fascinating discovery material.
Discovery in this case has revealed that Dominion`s own employees expressed serious concerns about the security of its machines.
Beckstrand identified specific instances in Georgia and North Carolina and testified that a Dominion machine was “hacked” in Michigan.
Beckstrand confirmed that these security failures were “reported about in the news.”
And just weeks before the 2020 presidential election, Dominion`s Director of Product Strategy and Security, Eric Coomer, acknowledged in private that “our shit is just riddled with bugs.” Indeed, Coomer had been castigating Dominion`s failures for years.
He lamented that “[a]lmost all” of Dominion`s technological failings were “due to our complete f--- up in installation.” And in another instance, he identified a “*critical* bug leading to INCORRECT results.” He went on to note: “It does not get much worse than that.”
These were recent (2019) messages, which don`t just provide justification for a news network covering potential exploitation of voting machines, but are enough to warrant a wider investigation of Dominion, State Street Capital, and their products and services.
The Associated Press, I suppose to its credit(?), put this in their 10th paragraph on the story: “[Fox lawyers] also point to an email from Oct. 30, 2020, just days before the election, in which Dominion`s director of product strategy and security complained that the company's products were `just riddled with bugs`".
