Trump sues CNN for $475 million

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3...or-defamation/

This on top of Zucker, Stelter, Lemon, etc all getting what they deserved

Tick tock

Walls closing in

Beginning of the end


"Former President Trump has sued CNN in federal court in Florida for defamation.

In the lawsuit filed Monday, Trump’s attorneys claim CNN “has sought to use its massive influence — purportedly as a ‘trusted’ news source — to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically, culminating in CNN claiming credit for ‘[getting] Trump out’ in the 2020 presidential election.”


The former president is seeking $475 million in punitive damages, according to the lawsuit.

Trump announced his intent to sue the network earlier this summer, saying in a statement he would “also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election.”

The former president’s attorneys allege in the filing that CNN “has undertaken a smear campaign to malign the Plaintiff with a barrage of negative associations and innuendos, broadcasting commentary that he is like a cult leader, a Russian lackey, a dog whistler to white supremacists, and a racist.”

It also cited anchors, personalities and pundits on CNN using the term “Big Lie” to refer to Trump’s repeated false statements about the 2020 election and voter fraud as evidence of the outlet attempting to associate him with Adolf Hitler.

In order to prove defamation, public officials and other public figures must prove journalists acted with actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth in their reporting, a high legal bar to clear given First Amendment protections granted to the free press under the Constitution. The New York Times, for example, has not lost a defamation case in more than 50 years.

CNN is a frequent foil of Trump, his followers and allies, as well as conservatives more generally.


In 2020, the network settled a $275 million lawsuit brought by a high school student in Kentucky who was at the center of a viral video controversy and became a lightning rod for critics of the mainstream media.

Trump’s campaign also sued the New York Times in 2019 over an op-ed suggesting a “quid pro quo” with Russian officials.

The latest lawsuit from the former president comes amid big changes at CNN, which was recently sold to media conglomerate Discovery."

CNN employees have already been exposed as saying that it was their job to turn people against Trump.

demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats."

Given how sht Trump's lawyers have universally been there's good chance he's going to end up having to pay $475M in damages.

Trump was the one who falsely accused CNN of being fake news while president. They should counter sue.

Interesting .


What is CNN’s recent ownership change, involving some of trumps major donors as majority owners before this filing started….


Wonder if they’ll ask Trump to lay off….

Lol. Trump just begged for money a few days ago for a "deadline" and now he's suing deep pockets. Must suck to have to pay $500/hr legal bills to people he can't get out of paying.

LMFAO.
Deepfat: "I guarantee I beat you by at least 6 strokes. Afterwards, I'll slide my thick conservative cawk in your old lady just to finish the job."

z4: "So when are you available in September to play?"

Deep: "On second thought, I don't play golf with broads. You're such a scumbag that I'd be much more inclined to just slap the chit out of you."

z4: "MMA match works, too. So when are you available this month?

Deep: "I won't subject myself to being in the presence of a scumbag."

How much shiit has he been convicted of again?
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

Donald Trump is a massive thin-skinned pussy who probably reports a lot of posts and cries to memcop about all the meanies on the forum.

Again, do you actually care that a huge media outlet was acting as a propaganda arm? Making chit up, caught red handed?

Yeah, I read it. IDGAF about CNN and partisan takes on our laws.

So, which media outlet making chit up are you concerned about? FOX? Alex Jones? Universal? Or just CNN because reasons.


Free speech allows these companies to say what they want. There are limited exceptions but Donald Trump and his team of clowns ain't the ones who will be able to make that case.

Didn’t Trump just get done falsely claiming an US Senator’s wife (That he hired) was a CCP agent?


Speaking of lawsuits…

Exactly. Trump's a moron, only eclipsed in stupidity by his followers who are conned by these frivolous lawsuits that always get dismissed.

He's already had a lawsuit against CNN dismissed once. Twitter? Dismissed. Hillary? Dismissed. Everything about the stolen election? Dismissed.

It's always telling when anti-Trumpers do the whole, "what about FOX!?" As if youre projecting that you cant fathom going against the media that supports your cause.

Guess what, fuk FOX also and they should be taken to court and made to pay if there are cases as egregious as CNN on Trump. This isnt about Trump, it's about the media.

Also, fuk your TDS if youre hiding behind the 1A as an excuse for these people lying to your face. The media is not here to play favorites, or at least in such a manner that it's propaganda. You clearly dont GAF about the major point here. Only because Trump is involved. Sounds like a cult IMO.

The GOP wanted to run Jeb Freaking Bush, and Fox News stood behind them and their establishment schmo 100%.

You've got it 180 degrees backwards. Your point only exists because mean things were said about Trump.

Have you ever seen me post about the mean things that are said about Biden?

You haven't because I believe in the right for people to say whatever the fuk they want. I also believe in the right to sue if you feel you've been harmed, so have at it if you feel like you can beat the track record of these cases in the US.
