I've heard it called "deprogramming", like with cult members. How you actually do it to 30-50% of the country, I've no idea. Probably start by getting Fox/OAN off the air.

SVB owned lots of low-yield bonds that they bought when interest rates were low. As interest rates increased, those bonds became less valuable, meaning they now didn't have enough assets. Peter Thiel then kicks off a bank run in their billionaire circlejerk chat.

Nenonen posted:If people discussed politics in anonymous social media services ~250 years ago then it's entirely possible that Ben Franklin would have named himself Cat Turd. Or perhaps Merde de Chat because he was a man of sophistication, who just happened to love both cats and toilet humour. Franklin certainly wouldn't be such a lame poster. I think that's the most baffling thing about catturd. I had no idea what he's about until there was this big deal about Ol' Musky unbanning him. But I imagined he was like a right-wing dril instead of, well, that.

It seems Fox is almost as hosed as Alex Jones. I don't get though how that discovery doesn't clearly show reckless disregard when they clearly admit they lied for stock prices.

Oh poo poo, you're all right of course. I forgot about the whole defaulting thing, as I started following it only once the actual trial turned into a circus. The Fox people are all competent and (mostly) sane enough that this poo poo won't happen of course but the evidence seems pretty solidly against them anyway.

IANAL but as far as I can tell "actual malice" doesn't mean having Tucker on record as saying "I'm going to deliberately lie to our viewers in order to hurt Dominion", but rather that they knew or suspected it was bullshit and said it anyway. Which is normally very difficult... unless you have tons of discovery showing just that.quote:When a public figure like Trump [lol!] sues for defamation, they must prove that the defendant made a false statement with actual malice — that is, they must show that the statement was false and that the defendant either knew it was false or recklessly disregarded whether or not it was false. "Reckless disregard" means something like deliberately ignoring manifest signs that the statement was false. That's been the standard since New York Times v. Sullivan in 1964. Note that even under this standard, a media outlet that wrote a "purposely . . . false" statement of fact can be held liable. It's a difficult standard, but it can be done, as Rolling Stone found out this month.

Well that's a bummer but it seems like this happened after the judge appointed a special counsel to dig into Fox's discovery process so maybe Murdoch started really making GBS threads bricks at that point. The settlement could involve Tucker having to confess to being a dirty liar every day on his show, for all we know.

I'm guessing he saw the Dominion lawsuit play out and immediately started bugging what was left of his lawyer team to do him one of those defamation suits too.Murgos posted:I expect it's not a real lawsuit. Its intent is to harass a bunch of people and put out talking points about how Trump is going to own Amazon and WaPo until it's dismissed a year from now for not actually alleging any harm similar to his last defamation suit he filed in Florida.

Levantine posted:I will never, NEVER understand how a complete mushbrain like Trump was a United States president and is still the front runner of his party. It's just unreal to me how fundamentally unserious we are as a people to have gotten to this point. The man is self aggrandizing and never stops talking nonsense. Like no-hyperbole, actual nonsense that a normal human being wouldn't listen to in a normal setting. The fact there's a non-zero amount of people that look at Trump and think "Yes, this is a serious, manly man who is fighting for my future" is silly; the fact that the number is actually so high is honestly frightening to me. That he's some still considered a serious presidential candidate is absolutely mindblowing. Like W getting re-elected after staring two wars and tanking the economy. Surely there's no way will choose him again after all that

So this is like a day old so pretty ancient by internet standards but I don't think I've seen this posted here (or the two Elon threads)   https://www.threads.net/@seth.abramson/post/C2RjUytuEEY I'm sure neither of these two assholes in question are new to anyone here but seeing the two interact like this (again) is just  especially considering the whole context from Tucker's involvement in the insurrection, getting shitcanned by Fox and then platformed by the Elmo here and now getting his absolute bullshit boosted with the moronic "!" reply I hate these assholes so loving much. Especially Elon I think, because he still tries to preted to be some kind of enlightened centrist while Tucker is just the fash that he is.
