The opposite of helpful

Ok, I get that Fox might find this message useful if negotiating fees with cable providers for carrying their network (a process which I read recently is in the pipeline)

But to run it when you're about to start defending a huge defamation case about telling what has already been shown to be a huge lie?  Crazy.

Yes, indeed.

Why wouldn't the Dominion lawyer be waving this around in the court when the question of damages arises - "Your Honour, they lie and, by their own advertisement, admit that their audience believes the lies far more than the audience of other networks."
