Hate to rely on the courts, again like in 2020.
Hope Democrats don't make big mistakes again.

lie, as long as its in a political campaign (or its any day of the week & they're on planet earth)! They start listening to tfg, talking $hit about the 1st. amendment gives them the right to say anything. But as we all notice none of these m-fing ppl talk this crap in a court-room. TFG is like a virus or a disease. A highly contagious orange pus-gut of a virus named Drumpf. And we need to send Murduck back to Australia.

A federal judge ruled that a Venezuelan businessman can move forward with his defamation lawsuit against Fox News and Lou Dobbs over claims that he was involved in rigging the 2020 presidential election.
U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton rejected the defendants efforts to dismiss the case, finding that the businessman, Majed Khalil, adequately alleges that Fox may be held liable for the defamatory claims. Read the opinion here.
Stantons decision means that the case can proceed, with a jury ultimately left to decide on the merits if it goes to trial.
In his lawsuit, Khalil cited a Dec. 10, 2020, tweet on Dobbs account in which he wrote that the election was a Cyber Pearl Harbor. The tweet included a document in which Khalil is named as the effective COO of the election project, under Chavez and Maduro. Khalil is a liaison with Hezbollah.......
Khalils lawsuit is separate from claims filed by two elections systems companies, Smartmatic and Dominion, which have sued the network and other defendants for billions of dollars over claims amplified by hosts and guests that they were involved in election rigging. Khalil filed his lawsuit last year, seeking $250 million in damages
