Newsmax pays $40M for their coverage of the 'steal'.


"Cable outlet Newsmax Media has paid $40 million to settle allegations it defamed Smartmatic by reporting false claims that the voting machine company helped rig the 2020 U.S. election for Joe Biden over Donald Trump, according to a regulatory filing.

The companies settled privately last year, but the amount was disclosed in a Newsmax investor document dated March 7.

A Smartmatic representative said in a statement the company could not discuss details of the deal but that it is looking forward to taking Fox News to trial over similar claims about its election coverage."

It's a good racket. Media needs evidence to back up fraud claims. Activist judges refuse to hear cases where evidence is presented. So companies then sue cause media can't back up claims. Same judges then sign off on settlements.

It's a good racket.

What about non-activist judges? Do they refuse to hear cases where evidence is presented?

No judge should refuse to hear evidence.

No judge should refuse to hear evidence.

So why aren't there conservative judges willing to hear all the 'steal' evidence?

Judges can only hear the cases brought before them.

Don't forget, the Judge probably also gets a kickback.

You do know that this is a defamation case, right?

IOW - all it means is NewsMax couldn't prove their claims, it doesn't mean their claims were not true.

Those claims were never formally investigated, and Smartmatic/Dominion never faced actual discovery because the case wasn't heard. It, like many other election fraud cases, was denied on standing prior to the election and latches afterward...which is literally insane.

Judges can only hear the cases brought before them.

Liberals seem to be able to arrange friendly judges all the time. Why can't conservatives do the same....particularly, if they have a strong case?

You are limited by Godcto be able to discuss stuff like this.

Come on guys, you gotta know by now that Theo will never stop his 'Barking at-da Moon' with his liberal/progressive/Marxist BS leanings....

Well, when you're trying to pass yourself off as legitimate media, not being able to prove your claims is kind of a big thing.

Stop the steal @GatorTheo

Stop the steal @GatorTheo

I did. I advocated for increased security and they got it done.

Because if you are involved in a fraud case in a dem-run state, it will be tried in a dem-run state.

And the dems running the state will appoint the judges that would hear the case. And those dem-appointed judges could decide which evidence to hear, and which to toss.

As I said, it's a great racket.

How many media outlets proved that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2020 Election?
