Trump Sues the Pulitzer Prize Board for Rewarding the New York Times and Washington Post for Their False Reporting on "Russia Collusion"I don't know what the actual cause of action is here -- I guess, maybe, defamation? It would be an atypical kind of defamation case, surely. I guess the theory would be that the Pulitzer Prize Board implicitly -- or, really, explicitly-- vouched for the false and defamatory claims in the story. The lawsuit was filed in Okeechobee County, Florida, and states that the awards were based on a "demonstrably false connection" that "was and remains the stated basis" for their stories. I don't expect Trump to ever get justice but this accords with the strategy adduced by Ethan Van Sciver -- "Ignore them if you can, sue them if you can't." Except I would lean a lot harder into the "sue them" area. Remember what the media always claims distinguishes their innocent errors from Disinformation Peddlers' intentional disinformation...? The media always claims: We try to get things right, and when we get things wrong, we readily admit it and correct the record. Has the record on Russian Collusion been corrected yet? Has the record on a dozen stories, ranging from masking to vaccine efficacy to school shutdowns to the necessity of lockdowns to the zoonotic origins of Covid-19 been corrected yet? No? In fact, the Washington Post just increased its net tally of disinformation produced, by claiming that it's wrong to blame education and social woes on lockdowns, because um akshually the US never imposed lockdowns, ever. This is by Philip Bump, one of the nastiest Regime propagandists on the payroll. John Sexton notes that Bump himself has previously reported the US being in states of lockdown, but now Bump waves that away and says, No no, you're lying eyes deceive you, we were never really in lockdown. True lockdowns have never been tried, just as true socialism has never been tried. The media never admits its real errors. Oh, they'll correct a date or reference to a birthplace. But anything major? They ignore the error or double down, forever. The New York Times continues counting among its cherished Pulitzer Prizes the one won by Soviet propagandist Walter Duranty. Then the media is, by its own definition, deliberate peddlers of disinformation. Former President Donald J. Trump has been working the phones, personally pitching right-wing lawmakers on voting to make Representative Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader he has called "My Kevin," the speaker of the House. I think the claim that the challenge from the Freedom Caucus might result in "someone even more moderate than McCarthy becoming Speaker" is a scare tactic being put out there by, get this, Kevin McCarthy himself. If it really came to that, the Freedom Caucus holdouts could vote for Kevin McCarthy on the second or third ballots. | Recent Comments
