...
Yes, if proven in a court of law
...

And no, if not proven in a court of law?

After seeing the huge money that Dominion got, his lawyers are probably doing this purely on a profit sharing basis, but sure, I'll chip in to crowd fund his lawsuit. Will you join me?

How much did you throw away?

BREAKING: Judge dismisses Ray Epps’ lawsuit against Tucker Carlson and Fox News.

Mediaite: "Fox argued that hosts were perfectly within their rights to question Epps receiving no jail time while others involved in Jan. 6 were hit with much harsher sentences.

‘Even if Fox hosts implied a factual conclusion about Plaintiff, it reflected only their interpretations based on disclosed facts,’ Fox previously argued."

NYT: "Fox fought the defamation claims by arguing in court papers that they were ‘a direct attack on the First Amendment.’ Moreover, the lawyers — among them, Patrick F. Philbin, who once served as Mr. Trump’s deputy White House counsel — maintained that Mr. Carlson, in his on-air remarks about Mr. Epps, had not been acting with malice but was merely offering opinions.

Judge Hall agreed with much of this, noting that guests whom Mr. Carlson brought on his show to discuss Mr. Epps — including the right-wing journalist Darren Beattie — were simply airing their ‘own commentary and opinions.’"

This raises the question of why Fox News didn’t fight the Dominion lawsuit.

Can we get the title of this thread changed to remove the "Trump supporter" lie?
Epps is a fed provocateur.
