I’m old enough to remember when folks here were remarking on the slow news days lately.
Sick Byrne burn.
Sue them into oblivion. No mercy.
As much as it’s probably costing them in legal fees, filing so many lawsuits in different jurisdictions is a good decision. It means a lot less dependence on one judge (who might well be a Trumpist) and a higher likelihood of at least one win.
Well, their voting machine business is pretty much shot to hell, so they need a new business model…
Melissa Carone comes to mind, who was hired to clean the glass plates on copiers and other quote “menial tasks.” It wasn’t just a dodgy third-tier news network that trotted her out, it was an even dodgier presidential legal team. If you want people to say any kind of crazy shit you tell them to say, you can’t be super-fussy.
I look forward to the end of “making shit up” as a news source.
Good. I used to shop at Overstock.com, but haven’t for the past two years after their CEO turned out to be this Trumpanzee.
Newmax may have a freedumb of speech out, but when two of your on air personalities solicit donations, then IMO they’ve gone far beyond reporting.
Hitting them in the wallet is the only thing they will understand.
Yep, This!
Freedom of speech has NEVER meant freedom from consequences.
I want discovery. And then I want those discovery materials turned over to prosecutors where appropriate.
Making shit up while supporting Trump’s, Gaetz’s, Jordan’s, McConnell’s proposition that sources not identified by name in a Washington Post article = totally fake news.
While I agree with the sentiment, a cursory dig into the history of journalism will suggest that this is actually not a new problem.
These people cannot find a single person with first-hand knowledge of fraud. Not a one. No witnesses. Just supposition or talk about “proof” like Mike Lindell.
So, I think this is the ticket to addressing Big Lie believers: show us a single person who will testify that there was fraud. All those states, all those counties. All those voting districts. Thousands of people. Not a single one will say they know of actual fraud.
Meanwhile, back at the pandemic…
(The first COVID deaths in the county in a couple months)
Does anyone know where I can pick up a broadcasting network for cheap?
Canonical response: “I may be easy, but I’m not cheap.”
The RWNJ bubble is not impervious to lawsuits, turns out. Dominion might make more money liquidating twisted-news orgs that it ever made from voting machines.
Making some smug, deluded, rich people poor (Byrne, et alia) would be a good first step in killing fake newsers. And sending Giuliani and other lawyers (Clark, et alia) to jail, too, after paupering them.
Dominion’s business has taken a real hit. They are not doing this merely for truth, justice and the American way.
