I'm glad Kyle Rittenhouse plans to sue the media corporations who lied about him. I hope he wins. Did I also see he plans to sue political criminals who did the same? I hope that was correct and that he wins those, too. Political criminals need to be sued frequently and they need to lose every time they are in the wrong.
I believe in freedom of speech. That doesn't mean I believe there should be no consequences for lying. I'd much rather see the target of the lies sue than trust the liars of government to penalize media liars. Suing liars protects freedom of speech in a way that government is unable and unwilling to do. It's just a shame we are still saddled with non-credible government courts for such suits. Corporate media, including the fakenews industry, and political government are more likely to cover for each other's crimes than not.
The corporate media and political criminals did lie about Rittenhouse and the events that evening. Over and over again. I read many of those lies and knew they were lies as I read them. Other lies I probably didn't recognize as lies. But the target knows.
The w0ke will never accept the truth, even if Kyle wins his suits and even if the corporate fakenews reports the facts straight. But there needs to be a price for being professional liars and causing harm to the targets of those lies.
He's been pretty specific on his targets -- he says he's going to sue e.g. Whoopi Goldberg for calling him a "murderer" even though he was acquitted.
ReplyDeleteYou know, just like people still call OJ Simpson, Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman et al. "murderers" even though they were acquitted.
Whether he's a "murderer" is a matter of opinion (my opinion is that he isn't), and suing over expressing that opinion would be a frivolous and vexatious extortion attempt, not to mention a thousand percent anti-libertarian.
