Watching that for 12 hours could definitely present you with an altered reality.

6. That is Still a Publication of Slander/Libel Knowing it to Be Untrue or Reasonably Should Have Known

I don't think this gets the network off the hook. The key is the PUBLICATION of untrue defamation either that you know is untrue or reasonably should have known was untrue based upon adequate investigation. In this case they have been put on notice which requires greater investigation by the network into truth or veracity. Each instance of publication constitutes an additional defamatory act subjecting network to damages. I can't believe their attorneys will let this broadcast. Its exactly the type of evidence that a jury might seize upon to award large punitive damages

10. If OAN think running a disclaimer somehow exempts them from being sued they are wrong

A disclaimer means nothing when you know full-well what is going to be said and that it is defamatory to anyone. I'll be glad when they get sued into non-existence.

12. So, He Paid A Thousand Bucks?

OAN isn't making $.
Ad time is cheap.
Then they pay fewer hourly people for that 12 hours.
The labor cost reduction is better than what he's paying, I'll bet.
