These people that use social media to weaponize their false narratives, misinformation / disinformation should be forced to post a public apology on their main front page along with sending out an administration wide email to all subscribers with an apology about their lies.

Too many websites, blogs and users doing the same crap including here at Elitetrader.com

Time for poster "Beautiful Stranger" to apologize on here for claiming there was widespread election fraud based on absolutely no evidence. This is a test of his character.

I must have at least +20 posters on my "ignore list" just because of their misinformation / disinformation and false narratives here in the Political section where they tend to post so much crap.

The worst ones are the ones that then deny posting such involving anything related to defending Trump and his cult like supporters.

Its like some cult leader told all of his faithful followers to fan out like a bunch of termites and infect any forum they come across with their bullshit. Calling them out is the least I can do as someone that believes in Democracy as an American citizen / veteran that lives abroad.

Give them no quarter

The legal demise of Newsmax continues. Coupled with being kicked off of many distribution networks & losing revenue, the legal consequences & penalties are likely to put the final nail in the coffin of the network. At this point, it is just a matter of time. Unlike Fox, Newsmax does not have hundreds of millions of dollars available to payout to both Dominion and Smartmatic.

Judge lets Smartmatic expand 2020 election defamation suit against Newsmax
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/23/media/smartmatic-newsmax-lawsuit/index.html

Delaware judge on Wednesday rejected Newsmax’s attempt to throw out part of a defamation case brought by the election technology company Smartmatic against the right-wing network.

Smartmatic sued Newsmax after the network repeatedly aired false claims about the 2020 election — specifically the lie that the company’s software was involved in an international plot to rig the presidential election against Donald Trump. The company later updated its lawsuit to add 26 additional examples of alleged defamation, claiming it found the new material during the discovery process, when Newsmax turned over “hundreds of hours” of broadcasts.

Newsmax, a smaller pro-Trump network, denies the allegations.

The ruling on Wednesday from Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis means those additional allegations will remain in the lawsuit, in a blow to Newsmax.

The case is just one of several pending defamation suits tied to Trump’s election lies.

Smartmatic is also suing Fox News for $2.7 billion over the right-wing network’s airing of baseless conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election. Dominion Voting Systems, another voting technology company that settled a defamation suit against Fox News for a historic $787 million, is also suing Newsmax over the false claims.
