How many more of these can they afford to lose?
NBC Universal is paying a $30 million settlement to a Georgia doctor they labeled a “uterus collector” and accused of performing “mass hysterectomies” at an ICE facility during the first Trump term.
Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Nicole Wallace, and Jacob Soboroff spread the hoax.
Bye. After Trump pulled off the greatest political comeback in history, major veteran journos (aka Dem mouthpieces) have thrown in the towel or been pushed toward the exits
How much of it is because the legal department and their insurance companies are looking at the risk of the Journo-list members and putting them on exclusion waivers or raising prices.
The AP is suing after Trump banned them from WH.
AP was not banned from the Whitehouse.
The situation is much more nuanced than you imply. The Biden administration routinely ‘banned’ right-wing media outlets.
Whatever. People can look it up if they’re interested.
I’m quite sure they were banned from AF1 not the WH.
Oh yeah, you can look it up on the same media that are the subject of this story….or on the AP itself. That information would be as useful as searching the CBC website for “Liberal corruption”.
Do you ever read what you typed and think?
My bad. I forgot folk here couldn’t look things up and come to their own conclusions, but rather are programmed to believe without question everything they read on the internet.
It is because the left doesn’t understand what is happening to them,
This man explains it oh-so well … Check it out, it is a must see,

CNN reports the AP was banned from both the White House and Air Force One.
But the AP statement is a bit more specific.

Someone should compile a list of both the court cases lost by the media plus the out of court settlements. The latter quickly fade from memory.
For example, the Washington Post agreed to settle a monster $250 million lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of his 2019 encounter with a Native American elder.
I’m surprised I haven’t heard anything about Rittenhouse suing the media outfits.
Their lies about him were arguably worse than their lies about the Covington kids.
Riutenhouse did threaten to sue the View, but apparently nothing came of it.
Rumours of an out-of-court settlement were denied.
Are Maddow and Sobberoff one and the same organism?
As Tucker Carlson found out, it doesn’t matter how popular you are. If you embroil your company in massive lawsuits then they can’t afford you.
That did have a happy ending anyway, Tucker is making more than ever, has a massive audience and is no longer bound by the Murdoch rules. His long form interviews are so much better than Cable news pablum.
He’s likely being more careful, though, now that it’s his money on the line. He doesn’t want to be the next Alex Jones.
“As Tucker Carlson found out, it doesn’t matter how popular you are. If you embroil your company in massive lawsuits then they can’t afford you.”
As usual, you’ve got it wrong:
——————————-
Fox executives, led by Lachlan Murdoch, decided Carlson had become a liability. They concluded that removing him was necessary to protect the network’s future. Carlson’s dismissal was also a move to distance Fox from the controversies he had fueled, especially following the $787.5 million settlement with Dominion (via The Guardian).
However, Stelter’s book reveals that Carlson’s firing did not directly result from the Dominion settlement. The belief that his departure was a condition of the deal lacks support. Carlson reportedly thought he was irreplaceable and had significant influence over the GOP base.
———————————
(and yes, that is Brian Stelter (NO friend of Tucker Carlson) being referenced)
This isn’t really news because most *informed* people already knew that Carlson was one of the few Fox hosts actually pushing back against the people jumping to unsubstantiated conclusions about Dominion. But hey, you never let a pesky little thing like the truth ruin your perfectly good left-wing talking points, do you KM?
My, you’ve got your gitch in a knot, don’t you?
Fox News never stated the reason for them and Carlson “parting ways”. Their accouncement was rather terse. But it came less than a week after Fox settled a defamation suit for $787 million, and on-air remarks made by Carlson featured prominently in that lawsuit.
Given the timing, it beggars belief that the lawsuit was not a factor, although allegations of a “toxic work environment” made against Carlson could not have helped.
“My, you’ve got your gitch in a knot, don’t you?”
You’re one to complain, when you go whining to blog owners about people hurting your feelz.
God forbid you grow a pair.
I took a picture of Good morning America anchor George Stephanopoulos’s ugly mug on the morning after Trump’s win back in November. The look of utter misery on his face is something I return to often in case I’m having a bad day. It brings me such joy! 🙂
