Rachel Maddow is the Left’s favorite propagator or anti-Trump conspiracy theories.
She was their go-to figure during the Russia Collusion Hoax.
But now her career is over after she doomed herself in a major lawsuit.
In July, Rachel Maddow took aim at One America News Network (OAN), a much smaller news network that she despises because OAN is pro-Trump.
She went after an employee of OAN, claiming that the employee is “paid by the Russian government to produce propaganda for that government.”
Her claim was entirely false and based on an OAN staffer once doing freelance work for Russian-owned Sputnik News. The OAN staffer at the center of Maddow’s claim was never employed by the Russian Government.
That’s why OAN hit Maddow with a $10 million lawsuit for defamation.
Now that the smear is being litigated, Maddow’s attorney just outright admitted that she regularly lies, claiming that she doesn’t always mean what she says on air as a defense.
Breitbart News reports:
“In this case, the most obsequiously pro-Trump right-wing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda,” The Russia Hoax Queen told her audience.
“Their on-air U.S. politics reporter is paid by the Russian government to produce propaganda for that government,” Maddow said.
Maddow’s smear was based on nothing. She fabricated it out of whole cloth. Prior to being employed by OAN, an OAN staffer had done some freelance work for Sputnik News. She was not even employed by Sputnik, and she didn’t do any work for Sputnik after going to work for OAN.
And from that, Maddow tells the world OAN “really literally is paid Russian propaganda.”
It was an outrageous lie, and now Maddow’s attorney is all but admitting she lies like this all the time. In fact, his defense appears to be an announcement to the world that no one should ever take Maddow seriously.
From the San Diego Times:
“Maddow lawyer Theodore J. “Ted” Boutrous Jr. argued that the liberal host was clearly offering up her “own unique expression” of her views to capture what she saw as the “ridiculous” nature of the undisputed facts.
“Her comment, therefore, is a quintessential statement ‘of rhetorical hyperbole, incapable of being proved true or false,’” he said.’”
Maddow’s lawyer is outright admitting that she lies in his defense.
In fact, his defense is based largely on the fact that it is well known that Maddow lies, or as he describes it, engages in “rhetorical hyperbole.”
If this is the best her lawyer can come up with, she’s going to have a hard time surviving the OAN’s lawsuit.
Do you think OAN should win against Rachel Maddow?

CNN is never reporting news, they are 100 percent anti trump opinion writers. The problem is that the small mass audience they have remaining are “ sponge sheep” that soak up all the lies without question, as if it is the gospel truth. They are incapable of actually thinking and reasoning for themselves. I once watched CNN but very soon saw how ultra biased whey were, so I deleted them from my channel listings. I have smart fingers 🙂

Acosta should lose his job with CNN. He is just a hate-filled poor reporter with a lot of nerve to lie all the time. How can we the people become so inundated with lying reporters? It is disgusting.

As a journalist, Jim Acosta is mostly a fiction writer. Acosta is also a mean-spirited, nasty, vile fool who cannot see truth or reality.
