    Let us know when MSNBC has to pay a billion dollar settlement for lying. The stuff you brought up was opinions. Both Fox and MSNBC have plenty of stupid opinions. But only Fox directly lies on a scale so large that they have to pay billions in settlements.

    Thats not a conspiracy theory. He got impeached over it. Most Senate Republicans didn’t take their oaths seriously, but far left liberal guys like Mitt Romney did.

    I am able to detach the person from the policies. Even a deadbeat like Trump is better than the most polished democrat.

    Covington Catholic graduate Nicholas Sandmann settlement with NBC

    MSNBC is owned by NBCUniversal.

    You can get impeached over conspiracy theories.

    Nope. And I asked for billion dollar settlements. The Sandmann case doesn't compare. Fox was outright lying and they knew they were outright lying. The Sandmann case was a bunch of White boys in MAGA hats jeering at an American Indian. The media made some sloppy (but probably true) assumptions, not outright lies and fabrications.

    Trump got impeached for extortion, not a conspiracy theory.

    Joe is a dictator by his own definition of the word.

    Remember his interview with Stephanopoulos.

    It will be well above a billion after the next settlement.

    So they have not settled a case for a billion dollars?

    Ohh...

    So you want me to prove a standard for lying for MSNBC that hasn't been proven for Fox.

    That doesn't seem reasonable.

    You're right river. One involves a conservative outlet in a defamation suit. The other involves a leftist outlet in a defamation suit.

    And as we've repeatedly seen, that is the only distinction that matters.

    Ok, you got me. Let's lower the standard to 787 million dollar settlements. Has MSNBC ever had to pay that much money because they got caught lying?

    Why that number particularly?

    Seems like you're tailoring the standard based on your argument, which is precisely the reverse of how standards should be determined.

    We don’t know how much sandman got, so that not the issue. You really don’t understand how the cases are different?
