A federal judge in California has ordered the parent company of far-right One America News Network to pay Rachel Maddow and MSNBC $250,000 in lawyers’ fees for a failed defamation lawsuit.

OAN’s parent Herring Networks accused Maddow in a 2019 suit of defaming the operation by discussing a report that an OAN journalist was also a contributor to Sputnik, a Russian state-owned news outlet. Maddow said that OAN “literally is paid Russian propaganda.” Herring demanded $10 million in damages.

1. Yay!

... Rachel has opinions, but she supports them with true statements. Maybe OAN should get sued...

3. Judicial

The Judicial branch of the U.S. Government has resisted corruption so far. Where would the U.S. be without them ruling fairly in most cases?

Ironically, that’s the whole GOP playbook—elect judges who will rule favorably in GOP vs. established rule-of-law cases. Most judges didn’t play along. 😅

5. As with the Military,

the JCoS basically told Trump to fuck off if he tried to use them in a coup attempt.
