      Why should today be any different than every other day to the Republican cult and the Republican propaganda machine? They don’t have a conscience. They don’t care of their rhetoric causes people to die.

      I feel the exact same way about the Democrat cult and the Democrat propaganda machine. Maybe, and I know this might sounds crazy, but, maybe there is some reason for this divide in our country.

      The Democrats are not a cult and the only people who think that legitimate news organizations reporting the truth are propagandists are the diseased minded Republican cultists. Such as yourself.

      So naive to say "legitimate" news organizations are reporting "the truth," as opposed to a narrative. WaPo, for example, got successfully sued by Nick Sandemann, a HS kid, for reporting the "truth."

      This is, of course, a lie. That sociopath Sandemann likely settled for nuisance value because there was nothing in the WaPo story which was false.https://lawandcrime.com/media/some-lawyers-think-covington-catholics-nick-sandmann-walked-away-from-media-lawsuits-with-peanuts/ …

      You have no idea what the settlement was - no facts - and the fact that a "legitimate" news organization decided to settle for something as deligitimizing as defamation says more than you comprehend.

      Do you know how much the settlement was for? It's the case in a litigious society people often settle for nugatory amounts to shutdown a nuisance suit.

      So you're telling me that a major, international news organization would settle that deligitimizing defamation case for peanuts instead of sticking to their guns. No I don't know how much the settlement was for which is why I don't speculate on how much the settlement was for.

      Yes, people settle nuisance suits all the time because court is very, very expensive. It helps to know how the world works.

      "How the world works" is typical of your condescension, which you use when you don't have a legit argumemt. It's laughable you think the way the world works is WaPo would settle this "nuisance" story for a pittance. You must have no idea how the American legal system works.

      As an editor and writer I've dealt with libel lawyers advising on publications both in Canada and the USA. I have some first hand understanding of how this stuff goes down.

          Could you tell me some other major news organizations who have made defamation settlements in recent history for an undisclosed sum?

          Also, did the publications you are referring to have the deep pockets that Jeff Bezos has? I doubt it. Probably a lawsuit that they lose that goes to trial and loses will put them out of business, so they settle. That is not the case with the Washington Post

          The Nation makes no money and it would be smart for them to settle. Not so with WaPo. This is apples and oranges.
