Basically, case dismissed on the grounds that no reasonable person would believe anything Rachel Maddow says.

A defamation claim has to be more than just being insulted.

OAN should immediately begin referring to MSNBC as “paid Chinese propaganda.”

Madcow didn’t say OAN “sounds” like Russian Propaganda, she said OAN is PAID Russian Propaganda.

The first one is Opinion, the last one is an untruth that Madcow cannot prove as fact.

"...no reasonable person would believe anything Rachel Maddow says."

Exactly RIGHT!

OAN should just continue publishing excellent news and not worry about the small stuff...Maddow is the epitome of small stuff..........

The is and never has been equality under the law. The only question throughout this experiment of individual freedoms is who do the courts support with all of their important decisions. It is clear that during this period of this experiment called the United States that leftists are the group that the criminal courts will do anything to support and protect.

Essentially, he ruled that Maddow’s ‘show’ is “fake news”.

Who is she? I do know, but I don’t care what she says or who she is. Not important.

Basically, case dismissed on the grounds that no reasonable person would believe anything Rachel Maddow says.

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.

Maddow said:

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.

The Spring Valley-based church had asked District Court Judge Cynthia Bashant to prohibit the San Diego County Public Health and Sheriff’s departments from stopping its Easter Sunday service. . .: San Diego Judge Denies Church’s Request for In-Person Easter Service

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.
