I wonder if that will fly a defense in their defamation suit(s)?

It should if you accept Whell's concept of a 'for profit' business enterprise which in a nutshell says, its the profits stupid and social consequences be damned.

Quoting Whell from another thread:

1) You don't know me so have absolutely no clue what I "give a hoot about".

2) You pull a quote from a completely different thread on a completely different topic, and post it here, and attempt to suggest that is me speaking about the news...and then complain about dishonesty. Interesting, but I'd you'd not see the irony or hypocrisy in your own posts.

Can you show me anywhere that I've posted anything that suggests that's my "concept"? Or are you just building a straw man so you can knock it down, then pat yourself on the back?

The photoshopped image superimposed the head of Judge Bruce Reinhart on the body of Jeffrey Epstein while Ghislaine Maxwell massaged his feet.

Because of lies like these by Wingnut Media, this judge has been forced into hiding by death threats.

After all of Whell's squawking about fake news and Kavananaugh's life being threatened, one would think he'd be all over this story.

You crack me up. You whine about Fox News being biased, then post from Mediaite like its gospel.

It's so funny how Mediaite and their fellow travelers cry about this being a "lie", when it was clearly presented as a gag photo, during a non-news commentary show.

And Finn gets all spun up about it, while decrying Fox News for somehow getting their viewers spun up.

Irony? Hypocrisy? Both? Either way, its comical.

I inferred that from your Econ 101 paper you submitted.

“I cannot tell a lie” - George Washington

“I cannot tell the truth” - Donald Trump

“I cannot tell the difference” - Republicans

You got all butt-hurt about Kathy Griffin's obviously fake & comic depiction of the Lying Dotard's severed head, but excuse Kilmeade's photoshopped picture as a joke when it was not presented as such (he waited several days to post an apology claiming it was done in jest after Judge Reinhart received multiple death threats from MAGAMorons and his synagogue was forced to cancel services.)

^^ Griffin apologized and got fired. She has more class than Kilmeade.

Moreover, Griffin is a well-known comic and that picture was immediately recognized as snarky, comic (if distasteful) take on Trump as Shakespeare's Julius Caesar whereas Kilmeade was guest-hosting on the #1 show on the nation's #1 cable news channel and did not identify the picture as a joke, but as evidence of the judge's relationship with Epstein and Maxwell. This was done in concert with Fox and other wingnut media's lying about the Judge's affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein (as opposed to truth of him actually being counsel for witnesses in the case against Epstein).
