Too bad we can't sue them for spreading Russian propaganda.

That's gotta be worth billions in the damage caused the federal government and to our democractic institutions.

They should have to pay an amount that puts them out of existence

I love how Newsmax put out a statement blaming the judge and the venue for their paying such a large amount. They should have been forced into bankruptcy; they played a large part in spreading the baseless lies that helped create Trump II.
