Truth Social, the social media platform connected to former President Donald Trump, announced a massive, billion-dollar lawsuit against 20 news media companies.

(snip)

Some of the companies listed in the lawsuit were MSNBC, Axios, Reuters, the Daily Beast, Newsweek, Mediaite, Daily Mail, and CNBC. They are accused of participating in a "seemingly coordinated" media campaign to report that Truth Social had lost $73 million.

"This number was an utter fabrication," the lawsuit read.

The company goes on to claim that it demanded a correction and retraction from the media outlets but that none of them complied completely or apologized. The lawsuit says that the false reports damaged the company's ability to raise funds for a planned company merger.

From the article, if the pleadings are worded exactly as represented here, the attorneys who drafted them should be sued for malpractice.

“They are accused of participating in a “seemingly coordinated” media campaign”

Was it or wasn’t it coordinated? You are allowed to baldly assert allegations in a pleading. “Seemingly” has no place.

“none of them complied completely or apologized”

Did they or didn’t they comply? Yes or no? This is amateurish BS. Let the evidence do its job. You’re just supposed to allege in a pleading.

Geez. It’d be damnably helpful if anybody had bothered to go find the actual filing. Even The Blaze couldn’t be bothered to post a link in their story.

Is it possible he can sue Hillary and all who were involved in the Russia collusion hoax being that RINOpublicans don’t have the balls to indict any of them?

Exactly, it is a tacit conspiracy, but nothing tangible.

The battle is fought on many fronts. This keeps things in the public forum.

Is it collusion if they all separately just repeat a memo written by a political operative?

>>along with who was involved.

To find the person(s) who gives orders to members of the Jurnolist?

The target of the discovery you seek will be Trump, his involvement, and ‘Truth” and probably not vice versa as I doubt there is a written smoking gun of conspiracy, which is alluded to but apparently not alleged.
