    Default Federal judge rules Rachel Maddow's show is not legitimate news

    As if we needed to hear anyone else say it, even an Obama-appointed federal judge has now ruled that Rachel Maddow's show and parent company cannot be sued for blatantly lying about people because it is clear to anyone who watches her show that it is "make up whatever we feel like" opinion instead of fact-based reporting.

    "The Obama-appointed judge Cynthia Bashant dismissed the defamation lawsuit on the grounds that Maddow’s audience knows she’s hyperpartisan, and thus, as Greenwald put it, that her audience “understands that her show consists of exaggeration, hyperbole, and pure opinion, and therefore would not assume that such outlandish accusations are factually true even when she uses the language of certainty and truth when presenting them"

    Judge Rules Rachel Maddow's Show Isn't News



    do you even have a fucking clue what irony means? you are trying to say Maddow is not factual by using PJ MEDIA AS A SOURCE!!!! a piece of shit lying right wing media site that almost never tells the truth. here is an excerpt from what the Judge said-

    Maddow does not keep her political views a secret, and therefore, audiences could expect her to use subjective language that comports with her political opinions.

    Thus, Maddow’s show is different than a typical news segment where anchors inform viewers about the daily news. The point of Maddow’s show is for her to provide the news but also to offer her opinions as to that news.

    but her opinions are based on fact, whereas the shit spewing from trump and tucker and hannity and savage and PJ media are total bullshit based on bullshit. Carlson recently said all the unnamed conspirators in that crowd of goons who attacked the capitol were FBI agents, and they forced those trump thugs to do the deed.

    look at the stupid fuck lying articles on PJ Media and then be embarrassed at what a hypocritical piece of shit you are to even dare complain about Maddow.

    Declaring the obvious. Does anyone think Hannity is any different? None of the political talk shows on MSNBC, FOX, CNN and elsewhere are news.

    1) We've identified our first Maddow viewer.

    2) So the federal judge DIDN'T rule that Maddow was obviously not legitimate news? Or you just don't have a counterpoint so you're resorting to personal attacks?

    No. Conservatives are the only people who readily acknowledge the difference between opinion journalists and objective journalists. Democrats constantly try to use obvious pundits like Hannity to argue that FOX is even in the BALLPARK of the left's obscenely dishonest and biased media sources...ignoring the fact that FOX includes far more Democrat viewpoints than vice-versa, and that FOX has been proven right far more often than left-wing media outlets. Failing to comprehend when a source is an opinion journalist, which is not to be held to the same standard as an objective journalist...is a uniquely DEMOCRAT problem.




    That's what makes this so hilarious...it's further confirmation that the left's hysterical conspiracy theory-pushing tabloid trash "journalists" are total garbage, whereas Democrats consider them legitimate news.
