Hey @joshharkinson, your article is outright libelous about me. Expect a public retraction from you and @MotherJones.pic.twitter.com/E8RINik0Hk

Now research "actual malice" and "public figure."

Who are you again?

The guy who understands how libel law works. You must be the other guy.

Any comment on the accusation that Dave Rubin is "far right"?
-
I don't know him well but I'll take him at his word. It's easy to see how one could get it wrong though, given ppl he features on his show.
-
It's easy to see how one could it wrong given that they assume interaction = agreement.
-
this is my only point. people don't seem to grasp that it's not an arg I'm advancing; it's only relevant b/c it destroys actual malice arg.
-
couldn't care less about anything else here. just making a legal point. actual malice requires witting falsehood or titanic recklessness.

Free speech would probably entail labeling you far-right in just about any interpretation bud

But there was no malicious intent toward you. You go to court, you'd lose. That's why I say let it go. Research celebs suing for libel.

You'd have to have a reputation worth something to suffer a loss to it.

You, sir, are a public figure. I thought you didn't like "safe spaces"? Or does that just apply to other people? LOL!

You miss perhaps the most important element: Falsity. Truth = absolute defense to defamation. (Also public figure and public interest...)
-
Also, the person to whom it was published must take the falsehood as true... (I've litigated it.)
