Likely related to the Dominion settlement. Will he pop up at OAN or Newsmax, spewing the same material but with less editorial controls? How much of his audience would follow him?

    Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving slimeball. I’m all for press freedom, but not defamation.

      You’re really that upset on behalf of voting machine companies?
      Like wow, spreading hate is all good with me, but hurting Dominion Inc.'s PR? That’s where I draw the line!

        I’m upset that he and Fox are part of ripping the country apart with their lies about the election, and I’m happy that they are seeing consequences.

        I’m not happy with hate speech, but I don’t think it should be illegal. I’m extremely wary of restrictions on any speech besides defamation. It’s far too easy to shield the powerful from consequences, rewrite history, or enforce ideological conformity.

        To show the two sides, take Europe. In much of Europe, neo-Nazi speech and groups are banned, which is a constitutional violation in the US. But then Poland went a step beyond that and outlawed discussion of the Polish people being complicit or involved in the Nazi occupation. This is definitely an attempt to rewrite history, since there is documentation of some Poles being involved in the occupation.

          Saying an election was rigged is not the same thing as defamation though. That’s not why Fox was sued.

          Edit: Plus every election is rigged

            Thank you. All of this outrage over trump crying that the election was rigged was just more psyop to make anyone thats ever questioned the results of any election in the USA sound like a crazy trumpet.

            I love how there has barely been any discussion about bush v gore and all the voter suppression going on in Florida and other states long before the 'hanging chad nonsense.

              Swinging chad, hanging chat, pregnant chad. The chat fiasco was another level of crazy.
