Wangchung said:You used the idea that Fox had no credibility based on settling a defamation claim to support your claim that republicans were conspiracy nuts since Fox is THE conservative outlet. You defended such "brilliant" reasoning by claiming that Fox was sued and settled and NONE of the other mainstream media companies had done the same. You made claims that turned out to be totally false and you were dumb enough to debunk them yourself. I get why you're embarrassed.RMF5630 said:Wangchung said:Sorry. It's just entertaining to watch someone defend the credibility of the rest of the leftist mainstream media by saying Fox was the only outlet to settle for a defamation claim. The more he tried to squirm out of it the funnier it got. I'll lay off.4th and Inches said:settling doesnt mean a particular party is going to lose.. I thought you were a lawyer.RMF5630 said:Wangchung said:You defined settling as a loss in court, not me, and then claimed none of the other mainstream media outlets lost in court as Fox had. Fox was accused of defamation, right ? Same as the three mainstream media outlets you now admit lost in court, right?RMF5630 said:Wangchung said:So three mainstream media companies not named fox settled a recent defamation case? Thank you for admitting you lied when you claimed it was only Fox. Now Google Kyle Rittenhouse.RMF5630 said:Wangchung said:Neat. So about Nick Sandman...?RMF5630 said:
Life long Conservative, every election since Reagan. Vet, deployed to Kuwait in Gulf War. Been conservative, this crowd! Recessions, military actions, politics, stayed true. This loyalty to Trump is insane and the convoluted logic to keep defending him for years is insane.
Move over Sam and Compsny, they have convinced me. The Conservatives have gone over the line, they are certifiable. All bets are off if they run this nutjob and these people are defending him. If the Dems seem more reasonable I may go Dem for 1st time every. These people are nuts.
Yeah, I read about him. Here is the outcome:
"He claimed that the media falsely portrayed him as the aggressor and racially motivated25. He sought a combined $1.25 billion from eight media organizations, including The New York Times, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, Gannett, Rolling Stone, and The Washington Post. He settled with CNN, NBC News, and The Washington Post on undisclosed terms. A federal judge dismissed his lawsuits against The New York Times, CBS, ABC, Gannett, and Rolling Stone, saying they reported opinion protected by the First Amendment.
He went 3 out of 8. Apparently the 3 that settled were wrong. See the Court system works, if it is a true issue! The 3 that wronged him, settled. No issues. The other 5 was dismissed, apparently they didn't wrong Sandman.
You see, the guilty settled, the innocent fought to the end and had charges dismissed. Poetry in action. How many election fraud cases were successful? How many of Trumps accusations were successful?
Typical misdirection. You see no difference between the Dominion case and Sandman?
How is Samdman getting nuisance level money of 25k or so the same as FOX claiming systematic election fraud and paying 786m, scrapping its on air personalities? This is not the only one, Smartmatic is coming.
How is Sandman or Rittenhouse, two civilians, the same as Former President Trump and GOP elected official claims of fraud? Last I heard neither are part of the establishment. Trump, GOP and media are. You don't get that...
Show me where you got those settlement amounts. I'd like to see your sources on that one. Rittenhouse and Sandman were INTERNATIONAL news stories, stop pretending they were small time cases. You claimed no other media outlets suffered your definition of a loss in court. Now you have proven that your initial claims were wrong. Well done.
Are you really this obsessed with minutia? You settle when you are going to lose. Settling is not a good thing. Simple enough for you? Settling was not good for Sandman, all expectations are he got nuisance level money. Not sime 250m settlement. Why settle? Because you can't win. Spin it any way that let's you sleep at night. GOP has not proved one election or conspiracy charge from the 2020 election yet. That is what Trump is going off about! Not 2016 or 1996 Clinton ***** Fox proves it didn't happen like they reported. To the tune of 750m. Gey it, big number. Think how big if it goes through the trial. Out of business big.
Settling creates fastest most effecient outcome agreeable to both parties. Settling limits exposure on both sides. Dominion didnt get the 1.6 Billion it sued for..
Back to whatever yall were doing..
Lay off? You lost your ass. You went on some rabbit trail! Talk about a f-ing clown. Make up your own argument. I literally thought you have a learning disability.
Feel better now.
You are going off on some crusade here. I said Fox lost to Dominion and paid out the ass. I also said not one of the 2020 election conspiracy theories Trump is spouting have held. Pretty comfortable with those positions.
I have no idea why you are bring in Sandman, Rittenhouse and this other stuff. FOX was forced to settle and still have at least one coming. It is not a sure thing they survive. Not a winners situation. But, whatever gets you off.
