OAN Company Loses Law Suit Against Maddow

[Vol Main]

"We literally learned today that that outlet the president is promoting shares staff with the Kremlin. In this case, the most obsequiously pro-Trump right wing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda. The on air U.S. politics reporter is paid by the Russian government to produce propaganda for that government." Rachel Maddow, July 22, 2019

"Why they lost" is no mystery. "In a 2019 letter to OAN, Amy Wolf, a counselor for NBCUniversal, MSNBC's parent company, argued that Maddow's comment was a 'protected opinion based on disclosed facts' following a Daily Beast article that reported OAN reporter Kristian Rouz was also paid to write for Sputnik, which is funded by the Russian government." Can you understand that the OAN reporter is a paid employee of Sputnik, that Sputnik is funded by the Russian government, that in effect the OAN reporter is paid by the Russian government?
