Fair enough.He made specific false accusations about specific people that resulted in other people believing him and harassing and threatening those people he falsely accused. So the victims of his slander sued him for damages, and rightly so.
How can one tell the difference between satire and fact anymore? Was Jon Stewart a comedian pretending to provide news? Does saying this is for entertainment and comedy but it makes you wonder get you off the hook? If a comedian tells a joke and creates problems for people should they be sued? It is obviously easier for some to sue than others and group suits that lawyers would take on pro bono for the expected payout. Maxine Waters, "harass them," all kinds of people tell others to get in their faces and ...... with zero accountability. IMHO the crazies have been given the megaphone on purpose to silence the critical thinker. Prosecuting people for saying something discriminately will result in people not speaking. This is the monkeys and ladder scenario. In 2020 people were scared to say they would vote for Trump. Experts? there are no experts. Times are changing for the worse. The people that should be talking are now or will be afraid to say what they think.
Do you think AJ intentionally slandered or knew the accusations were false when he made them? What does that do to a critic questioning any narrative today or in the future? Can people question a narrative and offer alternate views? What about the Texas school shooting? If somebody said this or that and the cops are/were harassed because they didn't save the children or wouldn't allow parents to go in or???? Don't say this or that for fear of being sued or prosecuted? But Adam Schiff can get up on every MSM and spew lies about conclusive evidence and HRC can manufacture and her team can conspire and manufacture lies against opponents? People can be called white supremacists based on what? How does one define a patriot or a traitor these days? Very complicated.
