Any belief that Rachel Maddow is a journalist was set to rest in a San Diego federal courtroom on Friday, with a federal judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought against Maddow. The judge concluded that Maddow was far too silly to be taken as a credible news source.
The lawsuit against Maddow was brought by OANN, a news network that Maddow falsely accused on her show as being controlled by the Kremlin.
For the lawsuit to go forward, OANN would had to have shown that Maddows show stated facts rather than opinions.
In court Maddows lawyer argued that her show was one of quintessential statements of rhetorical hyperbole, incapable of being proved true or false. John Nolte called Maddows lawyers claim the Alex Jones defense, although comparing Maddow to Jones is an insult to Jones in light of the Russigate and Avenatti hoaxers Maddow perpetrated.
In any event, the court agreed with Maddows lawyers. The defamation claim was dismissed because Maddows show is one of opinion and rhetorical hyperbole, and Maddow engages in an exaggeration of the facts.
If you think Im exaggerating, read the full ruling.
The judge himself seemed to think Maddow is a silly teenager rather than an actual reporter, as he highlights her show uses terms like sparkly and giblet. The judge also found it compelling that Maddow moved her head in goofy ways.
Maddows win is Americas gain.
No one can credibly claim that Maddows show is real news.
I couldnt find who the corrupt judge was. Maybe a few thousand pissed off citizens surrounding his house with ARs and a guillotine would end this corrupt BS?
That's fancy lawyer talk for saying what we all knew; Maddow is pure B.S.
Whoops.
It removes any remaining doubt -- that the lying on the air is a problem for leftists and their stooges.

It removes any remaining doubt -- not that the lying on the air is a problem for leftists and their stooges.
Fake News has finally admitted in court that they are fake. Spread it far and wide.
Will they use the same defense when they face the fact that they persecuted that kid in DC and called his a racist?
Liberals still insist PMSNBC and CNN are more credible than Fox or OANN.
But then the same could be truly said for ALL of them on MSNBC CNN, ABC CBS ABC NYT WaPO etc. And now that Catherine Herridge is gone from Fox, them too.
I don't care if she minds or not. Now go make me a sammich, bitch. And lighter on the mustard this time.
Vichy Media propagandist.
It was a rat hack Judge thats why it worked.
So basically this is saying that any story put out by MSNBC (Morons Spouting Nothing But Crap) is - by their own admission in a sworn statement in a court of law - NOT credible.
Therefore the Twitters, Fakebooks or other established forums that have decided to prohibit posts or links of non-credible sources should automatically delete ANY and all posts linking MSNBC items. And furthermore block the Fake News organization from their sites.
To be really safe they should call it The Rachel Maddow Fake News.
It seems there should be a disclaimer at the start and the end of each show.
Shes also not a real man.
It is NOT satire. It’s for real: her defense was that she is not factual journalist and that her allegation that OAN “is literally a paid Russian agent” was hyperbole.

Where I come from, it is called being (in honor of Wu Han), “Batshit Crazy”.
Spread it far and wide.///
This morning I posted this in the comments of the MSNBC YT videos featuring Madcow. I don’t even know or care what she was ranting about.
