The United States judge overseeing a voting machine company's $US1.6 billion ($2.4 billion) defamation lawsuit against Fox News has delayed the opening of the trial, raising the prospect that the two sides might settle before the eagerly watched case goes before a jury.Superior Court Judge Eric Davis suggested the sides try to mediate their dispute, according to a person close to Fox who was not authorised to speak publicly about the status of the lawsuit. Attorneys for both sides who appeared in the Delaware court on Monday declined to answer reporters' questions about the delay, as did representatives for both companies.
