So then goes to court to defend themselves on basis of this being news, can’t be defamation!

A profitable formula, they pay off the smeared person or entity long before gets to depositions.

That’s how the Monied do justice!

Dominion is to be applauded over and over for pushing this monstrous company this far.

Wonder if anyone on the right will see the hypocrisy of them yelling for years "everyone is FAKE NEWS but us."
We should educate them by finding a way to kick them off the airwaves for being dishonest.

Those who watch actually believe the tripe that they make up and throw out there is actual news! And it's a major contributor to the false beliefs plaguing this country...

And it completely changed my opinion about them. I'd been at a meeting and I walked out and was talking to another woman who I knew had a meetup at her house for a Democratic congressional candidate planning to run against Stefanik - this was several years ago when TFG was still in office. And we started talking about his irresponsibility using an unsecured phone - and these two women, who I'd always liked and was friendly with, overheard and were saying to each other that they thought he "was doing a good job" and that they watch Fox "News" - one said that she "had it on all the time." And I happen to know that she's Jewish - and this has to have been after Charlottesville. I really don't get it...
