Joy Reid Wonders Whether Fox News Could Be Sued for Misleading Viewers on Coronavirus
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/05/2020 1:27:47 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

There's the "novel coronavirus"—and then there's the "novel legal theory" concerning it floated by Joy Reid, pursuant to which Fox News could somehow be legally liable for the death of its viewers from the virus. So much for all the alarm in the liberal media about legal punishments for news organizations in the Trump era.

On her MSNBC show today, Reid played a clip from her March 29th show in which longtime Fox foe and MSNBC contributor Gabriel Sherman (now a correspondent for Vanity Fair) claimed that Fox News "insiders" had told him that:

"There's a real concern inside the network that their early downplaying of the coronavirus actually exposes Fox News to potential legal action by viewers who maybe were misled and actually have died from this."

I wonder if “Joy-LESS” Reid can be sued for being a HATER, a DUMB-bunny, a LEFTIST LOON & a BIGOT??

Hopefully she wouldn’t blame the virus on “Miss Charlie” Crist. Oh, I forgot: her blog was hacked. Sad!

They are trying sooooooo hard to force the narrative that fox and trump are lying about something. Pathetic.

Can the American people sue NBC for not reporting on the Corona virus while dedicating 98% of their air time to impeachment?

Dumber than dirt Joy should go for it, if Avenatti wasn’t in the slammer he’d take the case.
