“Facing more than $1.3 billion in liabilities over her post-election conspiracy theories, lawyer Sidney Powell told a judge that the defamation lawsuit Dominion Voting Systems filed against her earlier this year should be dismissed because ‘no reasonable person’ would believe that her well-publicized comments about an international plot against former President Donald Trump were ‘statements of fact,'” according to Law & Crime.

3. I don't think it has to appeal to reasonable people to be defamation

5. Tucker Carlson's attorneys used that argument and the federal judge

agreed, applying the "reasonable person" standard to Fox viewers, raising huge questions of what is a reasonable person these days and how applicable it is.

"Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

Carlson was a cable entertainer performing on his show, though, and she's not.

6. So she's saying she aims her lies at unreasonable people? This is another lie.

To be dismissed as vague and unsubstantiated, surely?
