MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann said Friday on “Morning Joe” that the only way to deter Fox News from “promulgating lies” is for the U.S. government to step in and regulate.
Co-host Eugene Robinson said, “A lot of people in media who were appalled at what Fox did in defaming Dominion and who were rooting for Fox to lose at the same time, who worried that an adverse ruling to Fox if they’ve gone to trial, might have an impact on libel law, might have an impact on the governing, Supreme Court decisions Sullivan v. The New York Times, that gives wide latitude to reputable news organizations, and that is kind of potentially a threat. How do we break this cycle, and how should the media be thinking about this?”

Isn’t Weissman the creep who was part of the Mueller team going after Trump on the Russian “collusion” set of lies? If so he should not be anywhere near a public forum.
They want nothing less than total government control over what’s published, posted or transmitted. The government has most of the news media willingly denying freedom of thought, but not all. Twitter and Fox News are not conforming and the fascists want they controlled.
General Motors went too easy on NBC.

Seems like no one in the media was appalled about the lies spread related to Russian dossiers, Russian “disinformation”, etc., etc.
Andrew “Goebbels” Weissmann.
Herr Biden will consider your suggestion.
I’d be ok if they pulled the plug on all of cable news. It’s state sponsored propaganda.
Let me get this straight.
MSNBC ISafraid of being held accounting for their chronic journalistic malpractice, but think that a government run “news” media is a better idea?
Arrest and Prosecute Weissman
Perjury against a President is a serious crime
Since MSDNC already is.
I hope one of the CPAs for Enron catches up with him some day.
LOL!!! MORON!
He’s criminal, and part of a subculture that has long been dedicated to communism and the destruction of the republic.
Weissman should find himself a nice cozy communist country to live out his days since he’s so fond of the lifestyle. He needn’t bring anything more than the clothes on his back since that’s all he will have going forward in his commie utopia.
And when the tables are turned, will he think it’s OK for government to step in and regulate MSNBC news?

Andrew Weissmann: Fascist?
They regulate all their other libtard media buddies why not fox
“ the public sees that news reports are indistinguishable from party press releases, they’ll eventually skip past media”
Watched a few minutes of SeeBS news and that’s all Nora did was spew the libtard agenda including telling us how chilling guns deaths were to her personally
That’s what libtards call news
You’re not missing a thing - it’s a freakin sham show
Weissman destroyed Arthur Andersen with false charges, that were reversed by SCOTUS 9 to 0.
He is a liar.
