They’ve been lying since Walter Duranty, so I doubt if they are going to pay much of any price.
Yea, just like the Dems are going to get arrested and thrown in jail.
The author sure is a “glass half full” kind of guy.
This is an absurd lawsuit, and there is zero chance it will work, I’d be surprised if it lasted into depositions.
Plus, I want opinion pieces in opinion sections of the newspaper to be pretty free from this kind of intervention. Otherwise we’ll never get a conservative opinion published, because the left is highly litigious.
Still can’t be said enough times (but I keep trying), so...
Nevertheless, Democrats will willingly distort the facts and lie to the public to score political points.
What I have never understood is the NYT and WaPo are local papers for a target readership (limousine liberals and bureaucrats). Why does anyone care what garbage they put out?
*IF* NYT ever pays, it will be so that they will NOT admit any blame.
Besides acquisition of some of their cash, of which our enemies have plenty, nothing else would happen, even if the first Hussein Head judge chomping at the bit doesn’t dismiss it with prejudice.
Donald John Trump could buy the NY Times and scrap it without caring about the cost.
Since his campaign {with his approval} filed the lawsuit he is saying, I will spend what ever it takes, and I have more money than every Sulzberger in the world, and I will break all of you.
I think the NY Times will issue a NDA payment and an apology to the Trump campaign {after the election}.
There is no plausible deniability for them, and if they were to assert it, then in this era of the great awakening they would still be liable for failure to fact check, willful failure, because they had countervailing evidence and chose to ignore it.
That lawsuit isn’t going anywhere. The only thing it’s going to do is bring some attention to the matter. There is ZERO chance of prevailing on it.
I think the rag should be shut down as a toxic waste sight
Actually, I expect they will seek an out of court settlement.
In either case, I want them hit hard for lots of monetary damages AND something humiliating. Say a page 1 above the fold, apology to the President, to the American people and to their readers that they have been a source of lies, fake news and Democratic propaganda.
Then that the NYT will create an office of journalistic fairness & ethics that will provide all reporters and editors with training on proper journalistic conduct and the importance of presenting impartial facts so that readers can make up their own opinions.
Perhaps, there should be a new banner for the NY Times, that states “Repenting of years of Democratic & Communist propaganda, from Walter Duranty lying about Stalin to current reporters lying about Trump.”
Commonly held misinformation. As I recently learned after 40+ years, “press” refers to a mechanical device, NOT the news media industry.
Is there a libel lawyer out ther who can tall us if an allegation like this has ever prevailed? What’s the general rule in Condtitutional law?
Does anyone know the name of this hater?
