1. Folks should start to sue them the way Groper Don the Con

sues everyone he can

[CatWoman]

2. they definitely need to sue

that "story" breaks so many journalistic and credibility standards.

[MyOwnPeace]

6. Ha, ha! You crack me up!

You "tried" to link "journalistic and credibility standards" to Faux News!

[Ms. Toad]

3. I love this tactic!

The only chance of reaching Trump/his minions, is for Fox News to carry the info - so (especially) when they get it wrong, the only chance to get it corrected is to get them to correct it.

16. The propoganda Network strikes again!

Why do we allow lies in news? Oh yea, Fox News won an appeals case where they were caught intentionally lying and the Court of Appeals said they were "entertainment" not news.

[riversedge]

4. umm.. we will see.

[BigmanPigman]

5. if they were sued would that stop them from doing the same in the future? No.

I heard Sinclair communications is paving the way for more shows like Fox... Boris Epshteyn is to be one of the hosts. Goodie, just what we need.

7. Wonder how long it would take Rump to ask

if his pardoning power can be used to protect Faux News entertainment.

[The Wielding Truth]

19. Yes. If sued for a very large amount. Money speaks and the rich listen.

8. Fox can fire O'Reilly and Ailes...

They can fire all the sexual molestors in their ranks, they can tattoo "idiot" on the foreheads of Hannity and the bow-tie freak... but Fox "News" will never be a journalistic organization, it's just not in their DNA.

9. Good luck with that...

I doubt Fox News will even respond if at all...

[Towlie]

10. Nobody is going to sue anybody.

The New York Times has what they want. Fox News won't apologize, and that will make them look worse than they already look (if that's possible), while the Times will look better and more trustworthy. Both sides will get what they deserve, freedom of the press will prevail, and the New York Times will win the exchange.

11. The NYT is making the mistake of treating Faux Nooze as a real news source

Any real news source would have checked their facts beforehand. If they did make a mistake, a real news source would retract and apologize immediately. Faux Nooze, being the orange one's mouthpiece and exhibiting his contempt of true journalism, would rather escalate the fight than back down. Their viewers want to see them fight real journalism, so a fight means better ratings. It would, then, be better if NYT sues them and continues to cover the suit as it progresses. The point would not be to get a retraction but to demonstrate that Faux is a bully and the antithesis of true journalism.

12. Gotta push back

They hate frame 25-7, and get away with it.

[DFW]

13. When has Fox and Frauds EVER given priority to facts?

From the clips I have seen, the answer to that is "never."

[mdbl]

14. no kidding!

They have complete disregard for anything factual. Why people watch that crap I'll never know.

[DFW]

15. Same reason children watch cartoons, I presume.

They prefer to feed their fantasies, as opposed to hearing about real life.

17. Not surprised Fox did this. Part of their propaganda machine doing

their best imitation of Pravda. Great that The NY Times pointed out their lack of professionalism.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

18. The brainwashed FoxNoise cult will go on quoting the story as fact, even if

FoxNoise retracts and apologizes. Still, it's always worth pointing out the facts for the non-brainwashed folks who may see it.
