Obama Resistance judges gonna rule for their team, regardless of the facts of the case.

A clear lie about OAN is clear defamation - but fanatical partisan Democrat Federal judges never let the facts get in the way of subverting the law in their courtrooms...

[kiryandil]

We’ll see how much Trump has reshaped the Ninth Circuit...

[Jeff Chandler]

Judge Cindy.

[arthurus]

Is that judge agreeing with Madcow?

[yarddog]

An Obama judge. I wonder whose side she is on?

[Gene Eric]

>> MSNBC is Comcast

Malicious telecom is destroying the Country.

[Dacula]

Just remember OAN is going to appeal.

[Fungi]

Current media are no longer subtle about their intent. I used to say the front page of any newspaper is actually the opinion page, never realizing it is now true. So it is with these clowns who call themselves "journalists," or "news reporters." What a joke! They are nothing more than disinformation propagandists, reporting an agenda to brainwash the useful idiots about their "soup de jour." Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

[Luke21]

These judges are way out of control. They answer to no one. It’s ridiculous.

[colorado tanker]

It is really hard to win a case against a media defendant; the law is so stacked in their favor.

That said, this case seems to me to have merit. It is a flat out statement of fact that is a lie. She can't claim ignorance or mistake. This can't be construed as hyperbole or opinion.

Hopefully the new 9th will reverse this.

So, it’ll play out something like this...

Prosecutor - “Your Honor, the plaintiff was stabbed, shot, ran over twice and then tazzed by the defendant, on video... recorded by 10 separate witnesses and captured by 4 police officer body cameras!”

Judge - “Unfortunately, there’s not enough evidence to substantiate a crime; case dismissed.”

[Dogbert41]

One day, this judge will have to lay prostate before THE JUDGE, and give an account for her abuse of power God gave her, when people went before her seeking justice.

U.S. District Judge Cynthia Bashant dismissed Herring Networks’ suit with prejudice, ruling “there is no set of facts that could support a claim for defamation based on Maddow’s statement
———
Well, that’s obviously not true

[gogeo]

I believe she ruled that the average person would not assume Madcow was telling the truth.

[libertylover]

[Madcow], the liberal host told her viewers that the Trump-friendly conservative network “really literally is paid Russian propaganda.” … U.S. District Judge Cynthia Bashant dismissed Herring Networks’ suit with prejudice, ruling “there is no set of facts that could support a claim for defamation based on Maddow’s statement,”

So, Madcow presented evidence that the network really is paid for by the Russians?

[Do_Tar]

So, according to her ruling, if I were to say that U.S. District Judge Cynthia Ann Bashant “really literally is a whore for the DNC” that’s cool because it’s just an opinion.

[lasereye]

“there is no set of facts that could support a claim for defamation based on Maddow’s statement”.

This judge is either ruling that it's impossible for Maddow's statement to be false or that it's impossible for that Maddow was deliberately lying. Of course exploring those questions is the very purpose of going to trial. This loon is essentially claiming to be omniscient, if we take her statement literally.

[KyCats]

OAN should have done a much better job of judge shopping before filing this lawsuit.
