I think the rag should be shut down as a toxic waste sight
The population in and around DC aka the Swamp (historically was an actual swamp) is composed of government employees in the first tier, with support industries behind them such as retail, restaurants, schools, teachers etc. And there is a large contingent of federal contractors and lobbyists.
This population derives their livelihood from the federal gravy train. There are at least 3,000,000 direct federal employees expanding to well over 10,000,000 when all those linked to them are added in.
While the rest of America was plunged into the abyss during the mortgage meltdown and financial collapse presided over by a Bush moron, and suffered through the sick ‘recovery’ of the *sshol-in-chief Odumb*ss, the federal bureaucracy was living the high life with their average salaries surpassing for the first time those in the private sector.
The liberal fake news caters to this population and they have a national and international syndicate of distributors so their propaganda arm is quite long.
Jeff Bezos’s (Amazon) father was a typical CIA privileged swamp *sshole allowing Bezos to benefit from association with Clowns in America, how? Bezo’s online retail model never made a profit until 2011. Amazon went nearly 17 years without a profit, then the books were cooked and they eked out a quarterly profit for the first time. Soon after they were chosen as ‘sole source’ to perform cloud services for the Clowns in a multi-billion dollar contract that catapulted them into retail dominance (and I admit they’ve done well but so would others if they had been flushed with cash).
When Bezos was told he would be point man for the CIA’s multi-billion cloud services contract, he was instructed to buy the failing nearly bankrupt WAPO which is now a CIA mouthpiece.
The CIA is no longer an exclusive US agency, it is an international consortium of enforcers for central banksters, all with their hands out for huge piles of cash compensation, in other words a globalist mercenary network of unpatriotic insiders who hate Trump because Trump represents a threat to exposing their corruption.
WAPO is this rogue CIA’s propaganda mouthpiece.
Other large fake news outlets have similar globalist puppetmasters. The audience is global and serves to portray what is happening in America. But people around the globe are waking up via social media. Living in the era of the Great Awakening spells a slow irreversible death to fake news.
But back to WAPO, Karma visits their local dog walker Bezos. He lost his multi-billion dollar cloud services contract to Microsoft which is run by Indian Indians as in people from India, who are loyal to Trump. Trump punished Bezos and now Bezos is stuck with the loser WAPO. Yes, Karma is indeed a b*tch.
“Plus, I want opinion pieces in opinion sections of the newspaper to be pretty free from this kind of intervention.”
Sure except the article in question was not stated as opinion but as fact.
Harmeet - smart as all get-out and pretty, too.
Actually, I expect they will seek an out of court settlement.
In either case, I want them hit hard for lots of monetary damages AND something humiliating. Say a page 1 above the fold, apology to the President, to the American people and to their readers that they have been a source of lies, fake news and Democratic propaganda.
Then that the NYT will create an office of journalistic fairness & ethics that will provide all reporters and editors with training on proper journalistic conduct and the importance of presenting impartial facts so that readers can make up their own opinions.
Perhaps, there should be a new banner for the NY Times, that states “Repenting of years of Democratic & Communist propaganda, from Walter Duranty lying about Stalin to current reporters lying about Trump.”
Commonly held misinformation. As I recently learned after 40+ years, “press” refers to a mechanical device, NOT the news media industry.
To further clarify “press” in the First Amendment refers to individual rights. If social media are considered the “press” of today, their blocking conservatives is denying our First Amendment rights.
Andrew McCarthy over at National Review Online is pretty skeptical of this law suit. He is generally pretty Trump friendly (wrote Ball of Collusion).
“They’ve been lying since Walter Duranty, so I doubt if they are going to pay much of any price.”
Shoot, they have lying since Jimmy.
The wheels of justice turn at an excruciatingly slow pace. I think Ben Franklin would be aghast. One of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention asked Dr. Franklin, “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.” Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”
It was published in the opinion section.
But it was an opinion piece in the opinion section. That the opinion-writer had a high regard for his own opinion does not change that.
Please read the thread. It explains quite clearly why the suit was brought.
Is there a libel lawyer out ther who can tall us if an allegation like this has ever prevailed? What’s the general rule in Condtitutional law?
Does anyone know the name of this hater?
They need to learn their place and be reminded of laws. From lying to the Fisa court to continuous slander in the NY Times and other media sources, it’s past high time for them to be held accountable.
Well, as you can see from the link below your comment - The courts reinstated Palin’s defamation suit against the NYTimes. So, it’s not over till it’s over.
I’m not a lawyer but it is the campaign that is suing so technically it’s not a libel suit by an individual but a political organization. Perhaps this is the path versus a publif official being able to sue. The NYT probably thought they were immune because they attacked Trump directly and he countered indirectly.
Perhaps the NYT will cave in order to prevent discovery of all their anti-Trump emails.
