Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, sued the Gateway Pundit in December of 2021, alleging that Jim and Joe Hoft, twin brothers, behind the conspiracy theory site engaged in “a campaign of lies” that “instigated a deluge of intimidation, harassment, and threats that has forced them to change their phone numbers, delete their online accounts, and fear for their physical safety.”

I despise using the Rule of Law as a WMD.

However, Gateway Pundit is like the National Enquirer of “conservative” new media. It sucks as a trustworthy mechanism for reporting and news.

I don’t wish for them to go out of business because of frivolous lawsuits. But this ranks low on my list of Things That Bother Me.

Now, if Slay News went belly up, I MAY do a dance.

Resorting to misleading headlines (politics aside) for hits does not help his victim status, though I am sure there are many employees of better character.

"one of the most trusted independent media outlets in America"

LOL. Gotta laugh at that line.

“Despite the radical left’s efforts to silence The Gateway Pundit…”

_____________

I think we have a few of those here, sad to say.

I’m sure if Jim Hoft cuts back on the gay lube he can still make ends meet

Not a fan of Jim Hoft or Gateway Pundit because of excessive click-baiting, but the lawfare against this and other outlets really needs to end, preferably with a large financial judgment against the plaintiffs.

This is just a proof-of-concept of how to shut down all opposition news outlets.

If you have two brain cells in a row, what is being done here should terrify you no matter how much you dislike them.
