Fox News & Tucker's "Cherry-Picking" Of Jan 6th Riot

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis rejected Fox’s attempt to throw out the suit ahead of trial, and he ruled that Dominion has proven the first elements of their defamation claim: namely, that the network’s statements about Dominion and the 2020 election were false."
“The evidence developed in this civil proceeding demonstrates that is CRYSTAL clear than none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true. Therefore, the Court will grant summary judgment in favor of Dominion on the element of falsity,” the ruling read."
“Even if the neutral report privilege did apply, the evidence does not support that FNN conducted good-faith, disinterested reporting,” Davis wrote, also rejecting Fox’s other First Amendment defenses."

Fox News & Tucker's "Cherry-Picking" Of Jan 6th Riot

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) says Fox News made “a mistake” by depicting Jan. 6, 2021, as a largely peaceful if chaotic protest, a revision of history that the Capitol Police chief criticized as “offensive” and “misleading.”

"McConnell told reporters that he endorsed Police Chief Tom Manger’s criticism that Fox host Tucker Carlson “cherry-picked” calmer moments from the violent day failed to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened in the Capitol."

“With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the Capitol police about what happened on Jan. 6,” McConnell told reporters Tuesday, holding up a copy of the police chief’s statement."

Just a reminder about the DC Police Officer Brian Sicknick

He was not.  CNN and MSNBC pundits are still lying as of recently, claiming that he was killed on Jan 6th by the rioters.

That is untrue.  

Brian Sicknick died the next day as a result of Natural Causes, 2 strokes that killed him.  The Medical Examiner listed that as his cause of death.

Since the resident communist is still trying to peddle that lie, the record needs to be set straight.

When the resident communist here peddles the unsubstantiated claim that Sicknick died as a result of Jan 6th, that is not true.
I see our resident Dick cherry picks just like Tucker. Here's what The Dick omitted, "All that transpired played a role in his condition," Diaz told the newspaper.
"In a statement, Capitol Police said they accepted the findings. "But this does not change the fact Officer Brian Sicknick died in the Line of Duty, courageously defending Congress and the Capitol."
"The Department continues to mourn the loss of our beloved colleague. The attack on our officers, including Brian, was an attack on our democracy," the statement said."

Here's the whole statement by Diaz:

The autopsy revealed that Sicknick, 42, said the strokes at the base of the brain stem were caused by a blood clot, Chief Medical Examiner Francisco Diaz said.

The formal finding was that the death was caused by "acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis" and that the manner of death was "natural."

Diaz told The Washington Post that the autopsy found no evidence that Sicknick experienced an allergic reaction to chemical irritants. He also said there was no evidence of either external or internal injuries.

"All that transpired played a role in his condition," Diaz told the newspaper.

He said on the Death Certificate "Natural" death.  Not a death caused by trauma because he said there was NO TRAUMA externally or internally.  No allergic reaction due to the chemical irritants that may have contacted him, so no death from allergic reaction.

And you ran with the lie that he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher.  

That's the bottom line, you and yours are liars plain and simple.  smile
“The department maintains, as anyone with common sense would, that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day,” the chief said. 
"as anyone with common sense would". Obviously that means anybody other than our resident Dick...

Why are the leftists and the gov't apoplectic about the showing of the Jan 6th videos?

Looks like our con(s) on the forum will be getting their wish as the house GOP vows to visits the "gulags" wherein all these reportedly illegally detained "patriots" are being held, with the effort being led than by none other that Marjorie Taylor Greene!

Here is the entirety of Senate Bill 235:

The mental midget you posted on you tube had an exact photo of the bill above.  So he's a liar and yet you post it anyway because... well, we all know why you posted it.  

You seem to be in love with your favorite freak on Youtube.  smile
No, you, the resident Dick of the forum, is the one who is:
1. Fortunately, the bill has been tabled even by its author.
2. "At that hearing, some of Montana’s top science teachers and students implored lawmakers to do what they did this week and put the bill to bed for good. They said it would stop Montana educators from being able to teach common scientific theories, like gravity, atomic theory and the Big Bang Theory, among others."
