Gateway Pundit Declares Bankruptcy

[Magnus]

The Gateway Pundit, a rightwing website known for spreading election conspiracies, will declare bankruptcy as it faces lawsuits for defamation.

The site’s parent company, TGP Communications, will file for bankruptcy in Florida “as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet”, founder Jim Hoft wrote on the website.

Those lawsuits include one from the Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who sued the organization in Missouri, where it is based, after the website perpetuated false claims that the two had been involved in election fraud in Georgia.

In a separate case, Freeman and Moss secured a $148m judgment against Rudy Giuliani for spreading election lies about them and defaming them. After the verdict, the former New York City mayor and Trump attorney filed for bankruptcy, complicating whether or how Freeman and Moss can get paid.

Gateway Pundit also faces a suit in Colorado from a former Dominion Voting Systems employee, Eric Coomer, who alleges the outlet defamed him by claiming he rigged the election against Trump.

Election offices have faced waves of harassing messages after Gateway Pundit stories have been published, often targeting staff members with threatening and abusive language.

File this under "Karma is a bitch". You spread lies and you will get sued. And instead of facing the music, they declare bankruptcy. So much for taking responsibility.

How in the hell does MSNBC avoid lawsuits? Or The View?

In fact, every media outlet that declares that Trump was a Russian agent should be belly up, no? Every one of them should be paying Trumps grandkids for years the way they besmirched and decided he was an enemy of the state. The guy elected to the WH.

No wonder China is winning. Only an idiot with a pea-sized brain doesn't see the clear hypocrisy and double standard. Clearly only wealthy alt-left donors spend the money to hire lawyers to pursue these businesses. You know, the last people on earth who would pick up a gun and fight for freedom are the first to sue regarding Free Speech? Those brave men...

Literally on Chinese news outlets CCTV, the ONLY network they show clips from is MSNBC. Consider that for a moment. They are so lock-step with the CCP that they are quoted as a great source of propaganda for their state run media. Repeatedly. Every time.

From this to the Red Star Trials in New York, no wonder the youth yell "death to America" and wearing a star of David is a life risking decision in some corners.

They don't.You're free to sue them at any time.

Has it once crossed your mind that they simply don't lie as much as gateway pundiit does?

"Don't lie as much".

They have an exponentially larger audience and have called Trump, the president at the time, a Russian Agent.

That is beyond just lying, that is slander of an entire country. Americans are too divided in some imaginary camp that they trample each other to be the first to watch the propaganda.

If I was a wealthy alt-left donor I would be laughing my ass off. Partly our of my own guilt and shame of actually taking candy from a baby.

You can almost be guaranteed that there is going to be a day in which America and the West are going to pay a steep price for the rabid hatred of those who stand up for American principles. MSNBC has to be the most dishonest, least patriotic network in America.

Here is the difference comrade. Check out the double standard.; Of course, cleared in California courts. The irony, considering I could do a quantitative study if I had the time to illustrate just how many instances CCTV, Chinese run media shows MSNBC quotes.

Rachel Maddow & MSNBC Beat One America News Network Again In $10M Defamation Battle

As the Ramones say, second verse same as the first ..at least when it comes to this partisan cable news legal dust-up

Reaffirming the decision by a San Diego-based U.S. District Court last year to toss out the conservative outlet’s $10 million defamation lawsuit against Maddow and MSNBC, a trio of appeal court judges has advised the Robert Herring Sr.-founded OAN to chill the hell out.


“Turning to the merits, the panel held that Maddow’s statement was well within the bounds of what qualified as protected speech under the First Amendment,” said the summary of the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit’s opinion on Tuesday of Maddow’s July 2019 quip that OAN was “the most obsequiously pro-Trump right-wing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda.”

"Don't lie as much".

Correct.

And anyone is free to sue them at any time.

No, a commentator cannot be sued for calling Trump a Russian asset or agent. Not how it works, sorry.

Rudy has to give $150M to some election workers he insulted?

$150 MILLION DOLLARS.

G-d help you guys and all of us. You have lost the plot. Most frighteningly, you don't even realize it...

When China strikes Taiwan, and they will. WWIII will begin rapidly.

Do you think these Useful Idiots can just turn course and all of the youth will follow suit? Consider the anti-semitism we are witnessing. They can't alter these opinions now.

I don't think you're getting this.

Find me a few examples of men who were wrongfully committed of a crime, spend 20-30 years in daily hell of prison among murderers, their lives stolen, stress through the roof, and in which they were awarded $150M for a life of suffering, their potential stolen.

$150M is absurd and a major reason your system is in trouble is abuse of the judicial process for political reasons.

The founder of the conspiracy theory website Gateway Pundit said Wednesday that the company was declaring bankruptcy while it fights ongoing defamation lawsuits.

Gateway Pundit, despite its often-untethered coverage, has played an outsize role in the conservative mediasphere ― though its traffic peaked in 2020. Multiple Republican-led states pulled out of a popular anti-voter-fraud organization after the site falsely reported that it was “founded” by George Soros and was a “essentially a left wing voter registration drive disguised as voter roll clean up.”

Well, it's about time! It amazes me how such websites ever get started - let alone sustained. What do you think?
