“Media people need to be sued for this sort of thing.”
They have been, and plaintiffs have won. Melania won vs Daily Mail. Nick Sandman won vs CBS and a print media. Trump himself has won, IIRC.
The media is so arrogant, they throw out lies about people like water out of a fire hose and believe they’re immune from paying a price. During the campaign, we heard one MSM critter spew about five lies in ONE SENTENCE. I expected the next sentence to be, “I AM LEGION!!”
There have been successful lawsuits, which is great. But I’m thinking the dollar figures might have been too small because the media keeps doing the same thing regardless of past lawsuits.
I am reminded that Trump took out a bank loan, repaid that loan, and had to pay a $400M fine for doing so.
Maybe Sunny Hostin/ABC/Disney needs to pay Gaetz $400M. Maybe that will change things up.
They have enough $$$$ to throw out the window on law suits so flip the game to prosecuting the CEOs and producers and make sure they spend time in prison. Set the example with a dozen and the rest will stop spewing lies.
