And by the way, if you do that, you're going to pay a lot of money. And they're all running scared. They're all settling. You know, the CNN went to court to defend itself, but the moment it got to punitive damages, They bailed because they knew it might be really high that figure ABC bailed in a way that I think horrified a lot of their staff.

But actually, quite rightly, because George F. Bonhoeffer was repeatedly in that interview, repeatedly defamed Donald Trump and repeatedly said that he'd been convicted of a crime he hadn't been convicted of. And if you're going to do that, I'm sorry, it doesn't matter who you are. You know, if you and I did that on our platform, we would also be susceptible to people suing us for defamation.

There shouldn't be some sort of loftier than that rule that just because you work for one of the legacy media, you work to different rules. So I think the world is changing very quickly here and people are being held. It would be really interesting in the Russia collusion mayhem.

of the first two years of Trump's term of office, if he decided to go after all those networks and all those journalists who perpetuated what turned out to be a complete myth for two years, A, he would have ended up extremely rich, and B, it might have nipped it in the butt.

There is no actual truth. hard evidence to support this. And yet it's dominating the news agenda now for years and turned out to be a nothing burger of monumental proportions, but a nothing burger that caused Donald Trump a lot of damage. And, you know, it would have been really interesting if he'd sued at the time about that stuff, because it did turn out to be nonsense.

She did it in her own home to the world on her account. She put it out there repeating the exact same defamation that George Seppalopoulos had said on air that cost ABC $15 million.
