With enough weasel words, you can say almost anything. Those words degrade a potential statement of fact to that of a mere opinion, and you are free to share your opinions everywhere and with anyone. Legally speaking.
- dragontamer 5y agoYeah, but at least we get Tucker Carlson's lawyer telling us that Tucker Carlson's words are non-factual. We get to see who the real clowns are eventually. You can also see how FoxNews (and other media) are reacting to the libel / slander claims of Dominion Voting (the makers of the vote machines that Fox News claims were insecure). That's a factual claim and directly damages Dominion Voting's business. Fox News overreached severely, and are now backpedaling and cooperating with Dominion Voting's lawyers (https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-media-lawsuits-elections-912eea8e168f95d51dec02da78ac2760 https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-media-laws...). We've got concession articles and "takebacks" from Fox. Its not perfect, but the legal system does in fact have emergency stopgap measures to pull a media company back from the brink. ------- You won't even get that far on social media. You can't even pass step 1 of the suing process: naming the person to sue.
