If that is ok, according to Kellyanne Conway, then why doesn't Hillary sue the 1,000 "outlets" that lied about and slandered her.
Peter Thiel sued Gawker out of business. To take them out was his goal.
Maybe Fox should be sued by every single person who they lied about.
I watched Oliver North claim that John Kerry was a war criminal.
Start there John.

(28,815 posts)how many pro bono lawyers are out there to do this work?

(50,319 posts)creating repulsive, fake stories that send lunatics to harass people and even threaten their lives. If the person Melania is suing is the one who said she was a call girl, I don't blame her. This has got to stop. I just read about a Jewish family driven out of some town because fake news said they caused a Christmas event to be cancelled. Some lady in Maine is getting death threats because her phone number was mistakenly put on a web site about a story the nutjobs didn't like. Hillary and John Podesta SHOULD sue whoever created the pizza store pedophile ring story. It's gone from entertaining to funny to costing us the election of a guy who's talking about nuclear weapons as if they're Lego pieces.

(14,550 posts)should sue Alex Jones. His outrageous lies caused a man with a gun to enter his business and shoot. Luckily at the ceiling. I am sure there has been a drop off in business since that incident.

(54,451 posts)Using the courts to sue for every perceived slight is ridiculous of course, but using it back on them tenfold might slow down their eagerness to use it unilaterally. To paraphrase Hammurabi, a suit for suit. And Fox Noise is low-hanging fruit--practically touching the ground, in their case.

(4,157 posts)I have refrained from criticizing this woman, as she didn't run for president nor did she ask to do so.
NONETHELESS. . . . She is married to the President Elect of the USA, and this is DISGUSTING behavior from a woman who stood by and lectured everybody about BULLYING while her PIG of a husband is the worst abuser in the country. What a disgrace.
She should go back to her "film career" and not embarrass us any more.

(4,157 posts)She is responsible for her own actions.
While she's not the one in office, she is just a slight bit less noxious than her awful pig of a husband.
