Anybody can be sued for anything. It doesn’t mean they will prevail.

Yup—definitely worth a shot to try suing in multiple jurisdictions and under a variety of different legal theories.

I learned from the lefties—keep throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks!

"Anybody can be sued for anything. It doesn’t mean they will prevail.

This is true and in the case of government entities, they have unlimited resources, i.e., the taxpayer money, to defend themselves.

However, non-government entities like a newspaper or media companies, do not have unlimited resources. Their resources can be vast but the bean counters will be monitoring the costs of the lawsuits, whether the plaintive prevails or not.

If the Republicans were smart (they're not) they should prepare to spend several billion dollars in legal action against the media companies. Because of the lies and bias of the media companies their grounds for the suits, whether they prevail or not, would be the media companies are in fact making in-kind contributions to the Democrats.

Even if they don't prevail the media companies would still be incurring billions in costs for their misfeasance.
