Thousands and thousands of people on Twitter and Facebook, including famous bluecheck names and Media types, take Maddow's word as gospel truth.
This "judge" is a partisan Democrat 0bama hack.
Judge Cynthia Bashant is a democratic appointee of Barack Obama.
Do Republican-appointed judges ever get to decide anything?
When fiction becomes news.
Gosg, how else could I have been surprised that this judge was anointed (er, appointed ) by Obola?
and that dumbarse Judge Roberts doesn't see any politics at the SC.
Proving once again that in this post-reason world feelings are more important than facts.
Appeal it. Hack Judge.
Just another activist judge following the agenda.
OAN really literally is paid Russian propaganda.
The grammar police told us it would be the end of civilization if we let "literally" mean "not literally," and they may have had a point after all.
Basically, case dismissed on the grounds that no reasonable person would believe anything Rachel Maddow says.
If the judge had made that explicit, rather than just implicit, and downgraded her to just another unfunny tv satirist, I might go along.
As it is, though Maddow is going to go on making stuff up and her fans are going to go on believing her.
She served as deputy chief of narcotics from 1995 to 1997 and chief of border crimes from 1997 to 1998.[1] In these positions, Bashant prosecuted crimes involving Mexican drug cartels and methamphetamine labs. Cynthia Ann Bashant
Judge Bashant should be disbarred for violating the Constitution and then investigated for bribes from Mexican drug cartels. A reasonable reader should recognize that this is my opinion.
Cynthia Bashant is the judge who in 2002 approved the search warrants for David Westerfield, based on an affidavit which was riddled with errors. And the only question she asked was about his polygraph exam. So she just acted as a rubber stamp. Guilty until proven innocent. Actually, the whole of law enforcement treated him as just guilty, right from the start.
OAN should appeal, obama judges have a real habit of getting overturned on appeal.
>>t a “reasonable viewer” would know the MSNBC prime-time host was only offering her opinion when she called the right-leaning network “paid Russian propaganda.”
BullshT
Stalinists lie. Always
Knowing this doesn’t protect them from legal response to their lies.
The MSM has been caught airing ChiCom and Iranian state propaganda (lies).
They are un-American.
That is a statement of fact, not of opinion. If she had said "sounds like paid Russian propaganda" while acknowledging it was false, that could be construed as an opinion...possibly.
IIRC the case hinged on the fact that one person working for OAN also worked for a Russian news agency.
Demonrat Zero black-robed tyrant protects Demonrat Stalinazi network. Film at 11.
Most important factor: Bashant is an Obama appointee.
