One America News Network’s parent company, Herring Networks, argued that Maddow besmirched the company during a 2019 episode of her show while discussing a Daily Beast article that reported one OAN contributor also worked for the the Russian-based news site Sputnik. “In this case, the most obsequiously pro-Trump, right-wing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda,” said Maddow during the episode.

Was hoping OAN would win this one. Our libel/ slander laws need an overhauling.

You want more lawsuits for this? Frick that, I can’t imagine the miserable world it would usher in.

What percentage of judges make rulings that don’t side with their politics these days?

I'm not sure how I feel about this.
I think slander/libel laws should require a very high bar to win.
The UK had a much different set of laws which makes it much easier to win. In fact I think the laws over there limit speech too much.
This was a pretty straight up lie by maddow.
But we all here are big supporters of free speech.
Would it be fair to suggest that so called news sources be held to a higher standard? Perhaps but would require a law change.
Also it wouldn't supply here because maddow is pretty clearly just opinion.

So, according to this POS Filth judge, Maddow is an opinion show.
I can live with that. That is what that moron Hannity is.

So you can say whatever the frick you want under the guise of "opinion."
Fine,EVERY reporter or commentator who injects their "opinion" into a newscast needs to have a disclaimer running before,during and at the end of their show stating that what they're saying/reporting isn't accurate and just an opinion.
