Rudy Giuliani Caught Off-Guard by WABC Disclaimer Before His Radio Show

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rudy Giuliani hosts a show on WABC in New York. Before yesterday's broadcast, WABC ran a disclaimer that the views expressed by Rudy and his guests are their own and not WABC's. Giuliani was not given a heads-up about this and got to react to it live on air to kick off his show. He was not happy.

Giuliani cannot hide the fact that he was hurt by this and, as he says, "It gives you a sense of how far this free speech has gone." Yes, this disclaimer before is somehow infringing on First Amendment right to... host a multi-hour talk show on a radio station in New York. He can still say whatever he wants, but the station is just trying to protect themselves from when he does.

1. Poor Rudy Fooliani.

Whining about free speech, and restrictions, on his radio show. How many on DU, or in the country, have their own radio show?

4. How many billion dollar defamation suits is he facing?

I think they weighed that against hurting his feelings

5. What's likely and really going on:

Rudy is being sued (big time) by Dominion (the manufacturer and distributor of voting machines). WABC's legal counsel knows this. And they told the owner of the station and station manager, "Look, if Rudy goes off on Dominion machines being rigged on his show, we're going to be co-defendants. Make an explicit and consistent disclaimer before each of his shows." It's self-preservation. Not to mention their liability carrier told them to do this.

But the Disclaimer may not be the shield it's hoped to be. See this DU post on OAN: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215059365

6. Is a disclaimer sufficient

to avoid being added to the Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits?
