Outside of insurance scams or tax fraud or whatever, I am not aware of any time Hollywood intentionally poured money into a dud. If you want to argue that Fox is intentionally losing this lawsuit, how is Fox planning to profit from that? If they're not profiting, why would they do it? Is the uniparty hivemind pulling their strings?
Them losing the lawsuit is different from them losing on purpose, which was the allegation I was questioning.
If they're not losing on purpose, but still losing, the question becomes, "should they be losing?" From what I've heard so far the answer appears to be yes. Like all profit-driven media, they've been prioritizing ratings over truth, and it seems that this led them down a legally actionable path.
