Gavin Newsom targets Fox News for $787 million in a defamation lawsuit​


California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit agains Fox News on Friday, accusing host Jesse Watters of defamation by falsely claiming that Newsom had lied about a phone call with President Donald Trump during a dispute over the use of the National Guard in Los Angeles.

The lawsuit, seeking more than $787 million and filed in Delaware Superior Court, claims that Fox "operates as a propaganda machine for President Trump’s radical right-wing agenda," citing the nearly $800-million settlement the network reached with Dominion Voting Systems in 2023 over its coverage of the 2020 election, which Trump lost.

The lying scum at Faux are getting sued yet again.

May they go broke paying the damages.

Go Gavin!
 
I have always wondered why the Biden Crime Family hasn't sued Fox for defamation for saying they were a Crime Family without any qualifiers:
"they are like a crime family" or "alleged crime family". Just constantly referring to them as the Biden Crime Family.

Not sure this will go far for Newsom, but hey, the lawsuit will have one HUGE benefit which we will all be seeing on here very shortly.

Righties will lose their cookies. Anyone taking bets?
 
Gavin Newsom has furthered the decline of California both as mayor and as Governor. His policies have been costly, created a huge deficit in California and for the most part have been unsuccessful. He's a slick talking left winger who wants to be President . Lord help us if that man gets into the WH. He's suing because people are telling the truth about him and he can't deal with it.
The dominian suit has no bearing on whether they defamed Newsom. Which in my opinion would be hard to do considering the unprofessional way he conducts himself. French Laundry for lunch anyone?

It would be nicer if when protestors stage their protests they would confine themselves to spaces that don't interfere with lawful traffic flow and don't interfere with people who have to get to work. They also should always keep their hands, saliva, and any liquids or aerosols they may have brought to themselves. Those of you who would like may boycott anytime you choose, just don't buy it.
 
Well we know this is bullshit on its face. He is suing because FOX is telling LIES about him. If they were telling the truth, the last thing he would want is enshrining that into a legal decision.

Tell us you don't know what's going on in CA without telling us...

The Dominion suit is used as a pattern of practice.

This is a lie.

Faux is well known for lying and has a history of not telling the truth.

Well, then, sue them twice.

I mean, you do remember that Fox just lost their ass to Dominion, right?

Of course, I'd settle for the entire crew responsible for the slander being publicly shitcanned. Just to watch the rest tip-toe around.
