Conservative Network Files $10M Defamation Lawsuit Against Rachel Maddow, MSNBC
The owner of right-leaning cable news channel One America News Network (OANN) has filed a defamation lawsuit against Rachel Maddow and others claiming that the 46-year-old liberal commentator “maliciously and recklessly” smeared the network as a Russian state propaganda outlet.
In a press release obtained by Law&Crime, attorneys for OANN’s owner Herrring Networks, Inc. said they filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against Maddow, Comcast Corporation, NBC Universal and MSNBC in a California federal court.
The lawsuit tracks a series of longstanding grievances between OANN and Comcast.

$10 million? That's a drop in the bucket, more than a fair price for spreading their intentionally divisive propaganda.
Repeat after me guys: "Be emotional and angry! The media said something we don't like. AGAIN! Let's keep giving them the reactionary BS their propaganda was designed for! Let's keep giving them what they want! Thanks xue for continuously providing us with our two minutes of hate!"
Suckers.
Meanwhile not a single person has gone to jail.
"Tick tock... tick tock... tick tock..."
Keep holding your breaths guys! The arrests are coming any day now, I can feel it in my soul!"
Lol.
I mean, filing a 10 million dollar law suit against a 'political analyst' for simply stating there opinion (which doesn't appear to be so far from the truth anyway

Yeah well firstly, its pretty clear that this network aren't exactly the pinnacle of ethical non-biased journalism themselves... further more, I think a lot would need to depend on whether this MSNBC journalist was reporting it as fact that OANN was a "Russian state propaganda outlet", or whether she was just voicing her personal opinion on OANN's known reputation for blatantly and deliberately not reporting on news that involved Russian interference in the 2016 election.
I mean, filing a 10 million dollar law suit against a 'political analyst' for simply stating there opinion (which doesn't appear to be so far from the truth anyway), kind of feels a little anti-freedom of speech to me... so for that reason, I'm not really convinced this law suit has a good chance of succeeding.

Looks like a cable TV outlet is pissed off and is now suing MSNBC and Rachel Maddow for $10 million bucks !!
One America News Network (OANN) has been defamed because MSNBC and Rachel kept saying OANN was a Russian state propaganda outlet !!
Comcast Corporation and NBC Universal are also named in the lawsuit.
Comcast is involved because they refuse to put the OANN channel on their cable systems.
The deliberate MSM lies and censorship are catching up to them and they must PAY !!

OANN's reporters, Kristian Brunovich Rouz, simultaneously works for the Russian propaganda outlet Sputnik; when Rouz runs segments on OANN that relate to Russia, OANN does not disclose that he also works for a Russian state-owned media.[54]
