Conservative network One America News Network (OANN) filed a $10 million lawsuit Monday against MSNBC and host Rachel Maddow for calling the company “literally … paid Russian propaganda.”

The lawsuit accuses Maddow of “[knowing] this statement was false” and making it with the intent of damaging the company’s business due to its vocal support of President Trump. It claims that in response to a retraction request, counsel for NBC Universal said Maddow was using “literally” in a figurative sense.

Maddow based the segment in question, which aired July 22, on a Daily Beast article reporting that on-air OANN correspondent Kristian Brunovich Rouz was also writing for state-owned Russian news outlet Sputnik, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"Their on-air U.S. politics reporter is paid by the Russian government to produce propaganda for that government,” Maddow said, summarizing the segment.

And I refuse to go to sites that require me to turn off my ad blocker.

I go there, I let them know I don't buy into their sly tries to get me to turn off AdBlocker by simply closing their window.

I like going to those sites, I get to 'vote' against them every time.

Nice.

I can’t stand it when people pepper their talk with the unnecessary use of the words “literally” and “actually”.

Everyone needs to stop paying for sevices that carry MSNBC, CNN, etc. If you have an internet connection, you can live stream OAN from klowdtv.com. Cut the cable!

For the record...... cable is obsolete and has been replaced by a myraid of streaming services

Oh, my word. That is the dumbest thing ever said, even by a dumb class of person who would defend Maddow.

Are we sure that didn't come from Yogi Berra or AOC?
