I hope he does! News stations are supposed to be about "news" , and "facts" , and "journalism" ! Not opinions and their propaganda or spin on events!

@fanuc2013 So should AOC sue Fox?

@LeopoldBloom If she can prove what was said about her was untrue, then of course!

@fanuc2013 I really have to agree with you there. The US media news and current events bears little resemblence to actual news. reporting of actual facts takes 5 minutes total. And that includes the alligator in the swimming pool story. I blame Sesame street for shortening the US attention span to a minute.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman How about blaming the consumer for lacking the self-discipline for managing their own attention span? Maybe Sesame Street and the news media is simply giving consumers what they want.

@fanuc2013 Any celebrity that sues for defamation would have to prove that the lies damaged them. There was a famous case where Jerry Falwell sued Hustler magazine for an article describing Falwell's first sexual experience with his own mother. Since none of Falwell's followers would have believed this, and the article was obviously intended to be humorous, Falwell lost his suit.
The bar for politicians and celebrities is much higher than it is for private citizens.
