Conservative Network Files $10M Defamation Lawsuit Against Rachel Maddow, MSNBC

The owner of right-leaning cable news channel One America News Network (OANN) has filed a defamation lawsuit against Rachel Maddow and others claiming that the 46-year-old liberal commentator “maliciously and recklessly” smeared the network as a Russian state propaganda outlet.

In a press release obtained by Law&Crime, attorneys for OANN’s owner Herrring Networks, Inc. said they filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against Maddow, Comcast Corporation, NBC Universal and MSNBC in a California federal court.

The lawsuit tracks a series of longstanding grievances between OANN and Comcast.

According to the press release, the complaint alleges that Comcast refused to carry the right-wing network because OANN “counters the liberal politics of its own channel, MSNBC.” One week after that, OANN’s founder Charles Herring sent an open email to Comcast deriding their alleged “anti-competitive censorship.”

Maddow apparently responded in turn, defending her own network’s owners by blasting OANN and telling her own audience the right-wing network “really literally is paid Russian propaganda.”

The two best journalist in the business today are Maria Bartiromo at Fox and Liz Wheeler at OAN. Putting Liz in with Maria is a high praise.

If Maddow got cleaned out of money how could she afford her monthly testosterone injections? Oh, forgot. Taxpayers will fund it. Maintaining one’s gender identification choice shall not be abridged.

Thanks.

I thought Netflix was a streaming thingie.

Can I get Netflix etc through the cable that I now get Comcast/Xfinity through?

One of my TV’s a smart TV, ie I have it wirelessly connected to the internet.

I’m looking for a way to leave Comcast, I have the package internet/phone/TV and it keeps getting unaffordable.

“Contact your state attorney general. I did and my bill went to $65 for just what I’d asked for. Received full refund too for the over charging”

Wow, how do I contact the AJ of my state, CA?

Ouch, CA. Well, I’d start with the State AG’s website. There should be a section for consumer complaints. FL AG website has a complaint section with an online form to fill out. I just had to provide full ID, employment information, etc. -which was NP. Within a month it was all worked out. I had a low rate and full credit to the date I requested service reduced. All the fees and charges were dropped and I ended up with over four months of CR in the account. Good luck!

https://www.netflix.com is the web address for Netflicks.

https://www.klowdtv.com/home.ktv is the web address for klowdTV

I suppose they are streaming sites but ordinary internet access will work.

I have internet only with Spectrum, they are constantly trying to get me back on a package deal.

NOPE.

Thank you very much!

I have to talk to Comcast, they are charging me for boxes that I don’t have.

They do that all the time, knowing that customers don’t want to spend hours on hold and then stating your case.

They are a crooked biz; and in favor of many anti-American issues.

Do any of the cable companies carry OANN?

Mine doesn't (Cox in northern Connecticut). My sister in RI has Verizon Fios (which I think is actually a cable company) - she gets OANN and Newsmax TV. Of course she and her husband aren't political junkies like we are, so they rarely watch it.

GOOD! Maddow needs to have his/her/whatever he/she is mouth shut once and for all.
