They’ve been doing that at the beginning or end of every show that I’ve seen today. One threat of a lawsuit and they fold like a cheap Senate RINO. Expecting Newsmax’s ratings to drop in 3....2...1....

I don't believe OAN has caved (although I don't watch them 24hrs a day).
I watched the Michelle Malkin show on Newsmax on Saturday evening, and I saw the 'cave'. Not by her, but a host speaking before Michelle Malkin's show started gave the disclaimer spiel. It sounds like what you described on your post.
Disappointing.

It’s very easy to sit behind a keyboard and disparage everyone for these disclaimers or short opposing views being aired.

It’s a whole different thing to face writing huge checks to defending attorneys.

Until I see someone say ‘I’m willing to give EVERYTHING I own, including all my future earnings, to help support these guys and their fight’ I’ll just say you are just full of fart laden shit.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

lawsuits are costly messy affairs

let them protect themselves. people who watch know why

and let L Lin Wood and Powell duke it out with them.

they will have to file suit now against Powell or look even worse

Sorry, I didn’t watch that far but we watch OAN. Momma mostly, I don’t think any of them have the gonads to stand and fight. I hope we get 3% of us. We won a Republic once, maybe we can hold this one.

Sooo...maybe they are being responsible by trying to protect themselves...the PROOF sure hasn’t been proven YET, has it?. If NEWSMAX gets legally wiped out, then what???

OAN is solid. I have always preferred OAN over Newsmax.

I see Trump said today that it's a shame what has happened to the media in this country. He said he doesn't even call them fake news anymore.

He calls them the corrupt media.

Just want to remind all of you who think Newsmax is the answer, Christopher Ruddy and Newsmax gave $1 MILLION dollars to the Clinton Foundation.

Ok - clarification. Yes, I get that a company has to protect itself against being sued out of existence. But, the first part of her statement was what I’d expect -”Newsmax has nothing to do with the OPINIONS expressed by some of its guests”. The part that burns me is then the entire rest of the statement basically written by SmartMatic and Dominion lawyers and NewsMax babe is reading it AS IF IT IS THE UNDISPUTABLE TRUTH. That’s what bugs me. I would even have thought it was enough wiggle room if she said “Dominion and Smartmatic STATE they are not evil, corrupt, fraudsters”.

If Newsmax could back up their claim they would. Ditto with Fox. But they must feel they have no proof or they would have fought. Lesson to be learned: don’t make a claim if you can’t back it up in a court of law.

Mark Levin had to do the same when she was on to protect his show legally after she went off on some kraken she hadn’t verified herself. She hasn’t been back I don’t think.

This selective disclaimer game fraudulently implies that media crap without such disclaimers is correct or honest.

Start and end every program with: “YOU are responsible for independently verifying everything you hear, read, and see before accepting it as the truth.”
