California Gov. Gavin Newsom sued Fox News for defamation Friday over host Jesse Watters’ claims that Newsom lied about the timing of his phone calls with President Donald Trump during protests in Los Angeles over Trump’s deportation policies.
Good. He should win pretty easily too. They have a history (Fox) of doing it and losing previous cases. Should set an easy baseline for any judge and/or jury. I hope he, and a lot of other people like a recently elected NYC mayor sue them often and frequently. Great time to be a lawyer that handles such cases, imo.

I hope it becomes an industry suing Fox News. They deserve it.

Awesome. Even if he wins or they settle, it changes nothing. They didn’t get destroyed by dominion like many expected them to. Lying and paying out is part of their business model. It’s like paying for parking for them. None of the old timers watching Fox will care enough to question. They’re already way past that and on to the next doomsday report which is apparently a candidate running for mayor in a city they’ll never visit

The same value as the Fox Dominion case settlement. Nice.

I hope he wins. Fox News is the most to blame on why our country is f’d up

I’m curious where his legal team came up with that number? It’s oddly specific.

They say he lied about the timing of a phone call. Phone calls have time stamped records
Open and shut case, Johnson

Governor Hairdo has my vote, I have to say. I don’t care about policy at this point I just want someone who’s going to kick these motherfuckers in the teeth and he seems to be motivated to do that

I try not to be doom and gloom, I really do. And I have gotten better as far as not focusing on the absolute farce of a reality we live in where morality and integrity and honesty is championed on paper but in reality only the slimiest most evil, dishonest, and worst of us thrive.
But Fox News….a channel that informs the public….was sued and found liable for a billion dollars for LYING and they just paid it and moved on. And people still watch it, lots of people.
Like…..if that’s not a canary in the coal mine I don’t know what is. How can anyone be hopeful for the future when planned evil takes place, gets called out, gets found guilty, pays a fine, then thrives even harder?

Hopefully this spells the end of Jesse Watters as a television personality. He represents some of the worst qualities of humanity.

How does Fox news still function as it did after getting sued for a billion dollars and settling or losing these types of cases?

When will the suits at Fox learn that lying does not pay?

I want the transcript of the call released. Gavin Newsome said he won’t out of respect, but this administration deserves no respect.

Yes thank you. Stop going after Trump. Trump is a product of this machine and others like it. Tucker Carlson said it best (god help us) that this news station is designed to manipulate the elderly for decades.
I know what my parents are going to say before it even comes out of their mouths. The talking points feel like they’ve been rehearsed for days based on the conviction of their delivery … because they believe so wholeheartedly now.

Can we normalize using quotes when referencing Fox “News”
Because they aren’t a news channel. Haven’t been for a while.

Good. Let them pay for their lies again, eventually they will learn or file bankruptcy, don’t much care which happens first

They’re going to say it’s not news, just entertainment, and that it’s the host’s opinion, not the company’s.

jesse waters is a fucking monster that deflated the tires of his coworker that he cheated on his wife with. He put her in a position where she relied on him for a ride and that’s when he found the opportunity to commit adultery. Absolute fucking CREEP.
Hawkwise83 on
The best part of this is it seems to be focused at least in part on the thing where Trump said he called, but Gavin said he didn’t. If they subpoena the phone records for his office, and personal line it’ll prove Trump didn’t call him, and then lied about it. So he could not only sue Fox „News“ and win, he could also prove Trump is a liar and a dipshit. Win win baby!
