Right-Wing Network Retracts False Story About Key Witness in Trump Trial
DNYUZ ^ | 04/29/2024 | None Given

Posted on 04/29/2024 2:42:07 PM PDT by joesbucks

One America News, a right-wing cable news network, on Monday retracted a report claiming that Donald J. Trump’s former fixer had been the person who actually had an affair with the porn star whose claims of a sexual relationship with Mr. Trump are key to his criminal trial.

The retraction came after the fixer, Michael D. Cohen, hired a leading defamation lawyer to address the false report, which was posted on the network’s website on March 27.

The lawyer, Justin Nelson, had represented Dominion Voting Systems in a suit against Fox News that cost that network $787.5 million to settle. Mr. Nelson worked with Mr. Cohen’s longtime lawyer, Danya Perry, in what was a remarkably quick about-face by OAN.

There are no monetary damages, but the story is being removed from the website “and all social media,” the network said in a statement on Monday.

Why don’t we just ask Stormy, or did she sign an NDA with Cohen, LOL?

“...a right-wing cable news network...”

Laughable, and they NEVER prefix CNN or MSNBC with the left-wing label.

DNYUZ = Clown Show!

They put out a false story in hopes of altering an election? Nothing illegal about that, is there?

True story. Problem with you joesbucks is that you are quick to criticize those websites that admit their story was wrong.

However, you never speak out when the left wing news sited refuse to deny their stories are false, and even keep Pulitzer prizes for their lies.

You're a joke Jack, sorry to see you slither back.

“did she sign an NDA with Cohen, LOL?”

How long are NDA’s still in effect or when do they expire?

Yep. The sneer is toned down a little, though.

In between them hating on Trump and loving on zElensky, the stench is enough to chase a dog off a gut wagon.

There is plenty of left wing criticism already here. Mych of it appropriate. What else could I add?

But this was one story that wasn’t appropriately vetted or sourced. And it had been discussed on this forum with little or no pushback. Hopefully some of those who were quick to pile on earlier are better informed. And we also learn that the non mainstream media can be just as if not more sloppy with facts and fact checking as the msn.

But my guess is some would rather be ignorant about what OAN did.
