"Here lies the real humor in this decision. In the process of denigrating OAN as an illegitimate news source, Rachael Maddow had to rest on the defense that what she was delivering was itself illegitimate ‘’infotainment’’. By her own admission, the primetime hostess has declared her own words to be little more than sparkly storytelling. While the network has appealed the decision, in a manner OAN has won a victory.
It managed to get Rachael Maddow to declare in court records that she is a fabulist whose reporting does not need to be taken as the least bit accurate. It is not to be taken lightly when a major name in the media universe has gone on the record to declare what she traffics in on the air is fake news."

In article <c58641fd-967a-48f5...@googlegroups.com>, Viktor
Tandofsky says...
"A court decision came in with a pure document-dump timing this past weekend. On
Friday a judge dismissed a lawsuit brought against MSNBC personality Rachel
Maddow by the upstart network One America News, and most in journalism circles
probably shrugged with smug satisfaction, if they even noticed during the news
vacuum on a holiday weekend.
"Judge Cynthia Bashant wrote in her decision, “For her (Maddow) to exaggerate
the facts and call OAN Russian propaganda was consistent with her tone up to
that point.’’ Of note here is that it is left to the viewer to make the
assumption when Maddow is no longer delivering serious news and information.
‘’The Court finds a reasonable viewer would not take the statement as factual
given this context,” Bashant added, essentially acknowledging the ‘’fake-news’’
aspect of the Maddow broadcast.
