@GottaLaff maybe add cnn to it?,

@makkhorn I doubt she could do that.

@GottaLaff @makkhorn

I agree that she should add CNN to a defamation lawsuit.

What did CNN expect would happen? This was a completely foreseeable outcome.

Disclaimer: not a lawyer.

@ashhobbit @makkhorn They gave him a platform: free speech. I don't see how she could hold them to account, esp. since he's a pres candidate.

@GottaLaff @makkhorn

I dunno. Things for a jury to decide:
- Was she harmed?
- How much in $ damages were done?
- Who is responsible for those damages? (Or what % to attribute to each party.)

See Dominion v. Fox News

@GottaLaff @ashhobbit @makkhorn I think you are correct. She’d have to sue Trump and she MIGHT have a case. You can’t sue everyone who puts a mile in front of her face.

@GottaLaff @ashhobbit @makkhorn They gave him a platform that could’ve been done on tape delay w/ corrections & honest commentary. They gave him an audience of nothing but supporters & falsely called it a townhall which further damaged her by making it appear there was a unilateral agreement to his disparaging comments & lies & which they knew would encourage him to be dishonest. Not the choice to have him on but I see some choices she might find actionable.

Ooooh! Getting access to CNN's internal communications would be superb!

Internal communications put Tucker Carlson on a low budget show on Twitter.

CNN is hiring industrial paper shredders, getting NDA's signed with staff, and other acts to obstruct "CNN is getting sued for 900 million dollars too!" lawsuits.

@Npars01 @GottaLaff CNN working as Trump's campaign servants, staging a TV rally for the individual, who incited the violent Jan 6 insurrection against the authority of the United States, was telling enough.

Today's CNN is as far away from Ted Turner's entrepreneurial, democratic & ethical world of thought as is
today's "GOP" from Abraham Lincoln's.

“I am upset on the behalf of young men in America,” Ms. Carroll said. “They cannot listen to this balderdash & this old-timey view of women, which is a cave-man view.”

This is who #maga want their son’s to grow up & become?
They want their “church-going son’s” to grow up & be #pussygrabbers too?
How very…”Christian” of them.

E. Jean Carroll you are brilliant!
