Well said. I’d only add that an anonymous source does not necessarily mean a real person. Reporters do make things up, then hide behind the anonymous source cliche.

Wake me when the suit is filed
My feelings too. Tired of this continued nothing but banter stuff. In my old neighborhood, they would say: S..t or get off the pot.

The guy owns hotels and buildings all over the world. He doesnt seem to be hiding them, they pretty much all have TRUMP in huge gold letters. Seems to me in about thirty minutes of sleuthing a person could estimate his worth to the nearest Billion.What is not known is how leveraged they are. If I own a building worth $100 million and it has a $90 million mortgage then I'm not worth $100 million dollars, I'm worth $10 million.
Regardless Trump is a whole lot wealthier than I am or ever will be.
To: DoodleDawg
I was merely pointing out since he pays his attorneys for exclusivity it doesn’t add to his expenses.
It’s sort of a freebie and so if he has a case I suspect he will bring it.

The media needs to be crushed. Lets start here.
Agreed. I signed on with Trump initially because I felt he was best equipped to take on the media which is, to me, an anti-american pinko-commie enemy.
I don't see how this will ever go to court though. They'll argue the 1st and I'd guess it would be darned-near impossible to get a slander verdict against the media.
I think the "when they attack and slander me, they are attacking and slandering you" line should be ramped up exponentially at campaign events. Project their images for the entire crowd to see. Work up and mobilize the crowd.

The O’Donnell incident may not be sufficient to win a court case against O’Donnell (as you say, the First Amendment is their shield). But perhaps the O’Donnell incident will provide fuel to pass legislation (after we take back the House in 2020) to change the Libel laws.

"if true ..."
Isn't this a question if the statement is True? It sounds like a weasel way to say it might be true not that it is true. Don't think that would hold up in court.

I don't either. They use their stupid little caveat's because they KNOW it will protect them. They drop their stupid accusations with their little "if true".
Then it really doesn't matter if they later retract, apologize, resign, etc. Their accusation has reached the collective subconscious of the public. Their accusation is wholesale BELIEVED by their ardent supporters as well, and USED to fuel social media smear campaigns. Evidenced by comments on the Twitter feed where people are begging him not to retract. Telling him that he is correct.
Then, down the road, other members of the media can refer to the false-claim subtly. Possibly using it in a "preponderance of evidence" to back up yet another false claim..."We had those initial claims of loans cosigned by Russian oligarchs...and now we have THIS", etc.
They know what the heck they're doing. And it's disgusting.

“...wasnt ready for reporting”
In other words... I’m forced to walk this bullshirt back, but I want to leave the impression that it’s still true.
It’s a non-apology apology. It’s a retraction without traction. (I just made that up)
Sources say that Lawrence ODonnell eats his own feces, has sex with children, and drinks fetal blood. “IF TRUE”, this would be revolting.

They really do need to be held accountable for their lies.
I pray this is part of the ongoing fall of the liberal media.

ODonnell was attempting to damage a company by putting out rumors - rumors that did NOT meet the standard of even minimum verification.
The lowlife was attempting to use his position to damage a company because he hate the founder. What he did is a hate crime.
Damaging a company is different than hurting someone's feelings. Businesses couldn't operate in an envoroment where any TV personality can put out unfounded lies and rock the stock value.
O'Donnell knew what he was doing. MSNBC's on-air 'talent' are considered to be 'experts' in their field... O'Donnell's not some company mail clerk mouthing off - this little MSNBC sh*t holds himself out as a journalist. That means he's held to a higher legal standard.

To: Steve Van Doorn
What they do is put out a statement they know is false, they say “If true, ...” The point is their statement is out there as if it is true.
They can say: “A reliable source told us Trump beats his wife. If true, this could spell the end of his presidency.” They probably don’t have a reliable source or a source for that matter. It don’t make no difference. The presstitudes can hide behind the Constitution and not be forced to reveal a non-existent source.
I bet when they need a second source for a report, they go around the office a easily find another reporter who says, “I heard that, too.”
