I agree American Thinker changing tune about the voting won’t really change any minds. However, when the lawsuits get to Giuliani, Powell, OAN, FoxNews etc. and they ALL start admitting publicly they had no evidence, THAT is going to start having an effect.

Dominion can afford the good lawyers. I suspect that American Thinker got one of those letters telling them in so many words to cease and desist, and oh by the way, preserve all documents and associated materials, because litigation is coming…

The pull of the Cult of Trump is too strong still.

At least I hope it doesn’t. The damage they caused is real.

I doubt his homeowner’s insurance will cover this for him.

I disagree with this statement. I’m pretty sure the site KNEW they couldn’t prove their claims before they even published and that they weren’t true. What they “recognized” was how much the lawsuit was going to cost them.

That said, it is one of the better statements of accountability I have seen.
