Pulling in the Horns



Is it any accident that Fox News has recently separated ways with Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino … after its $800+ million defamation lawsuit settlement to Dominion Voting Machines  … and almost simultaneously, CNN has also fired Don Lemon, a left-wing brick thrower?


Well, Pilgrim, I have previously speculated that the libel/slander laws are now likely to change … in a big way … and all media outlets need to be wary of huge incoming lawsuits … see: Is It Possible?


The Supreme Court has already signaled that it might be ready to review the previous libel/slander standard of “reckless disregard of the truth” as the gating measure … and if it does, lawsuits will be flying like July 4th fireworks. So, I surmise that any forward-thinking media outlet should anticipate losing lots of legal money.


If I were Joe Scarborough, Rachael Maddow, Mark Levin or any other media rabble-rouser, I would be pulling in my horns.



STAND UP FOR EQUAL JUSTICE!
