Judge Declares Rachel Maddow a "Fake News Fabulist, Not a Journalist."

[Viktor]

A Judge Rules Rachel Maddow is a Fake News Fabulist and Not a Journalist


In her own filings on the lawsuit, Maddow admitted that she does not try to be accurate.

"Here lies the real humor in this decision. In the process of denigrating OAN as an illegitimate news source, Rachael Maddow had to rest on the defense that what she was delivering was itself illegitimate ‘’infotainment’’. By her own admission, the primetime hostess has declared her own words to be little more than sparkly storytelling. While the network has appealed the decision, in a manner OAN has won a victory.

It managed to get Rachael Maddow to declare in court records that she is a fabulist whose reporting does not need to be taken as the least bit accurate. It is not to be taken lightly when a major name in the media universe has gone on the record to declare what she traffics in on the air is fake news."

Like hell. I read the transcript of the lawsuit OAN filed against Maddow. Maddow admitted that what she said was not really true, but she justified it by admitting that she does not consider accuracy that important and her show is entertainment, not journalism. The judge reviewed transcripts of her shows and agreed with her evaluation. The law requires that defamation be based upon a misstatement of fact. Since Maddow does not claim to be a journalist presenting fact, the cause of action cannot be supported.

This case, altho dismissed by the judge, is important because it publicly labels Maddow for what she is, an entertainer who does not care about the truth. Lots of people will be very shocked to hear that. I am gratified to see it in print because I detest her and people like her. It is lying media scum who have ruined the politics of the USA and misled the people with their propaganda.

Your source is not very reputable

"The Columbia Journalism Review describes Media Bias/Fact Check as an amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and Van Zandt as an "armchair media analyst."[2] The Poynter Institute notes, "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."[4] Alexandra Kitty, in a 2018 book on journalism, described MBFC as an apparent "amateur/civic outfit" and wrote that its founder's only qualification was a degree in communications.[3]"

That admission was necessary to avoid paying OAN 10million dollars. The facts of their case were correct. I suspect they did not expect her to admit she lies on TV. Most people will be schocked and disillusioned. Watch her ratings fall off if she ever comes back. Right now, she is off the air.

constitution is center with conservative, libertarian to anarchist to the right and to the left is the progression of authoritarian based on the constitutional limits,,,

common mistake everyone makes is using the european scale that is full authoritarian just different levels total being far left (monarchy) and least being far right (fascism),, it has none of what we consider the right cause anyone thinking that way was killed or jailed,, in that order,,,
