    Default Rachel Maddow: War Mongering Globalist "Liberal"

    I am not a grammar Nazi, but I do have a pet peeve about people who misuse the word "literally". Some people misuse "literally" to add emphasis; however, lawyers for Rachel Maddow are claiming that when she uses "literally", she is really speaking "hyperbolically", and her misuse of this word could costs her ten million dollars! Really! Literally!



    On July 22, 2019, Rachel Maddow was on her show discussing the the One America News Network (OANN), a San Diego based company part of the Herring Networks, Inc. Maddow called OANN “the most obsequiously pro-Trump right wing news outlet in America” and is that it is “paid Russian propaganda” because one of its reporters, Kristian Rouz, had previously worked for Sputnik, a Russian state-backed news outlet.

    Of course, Rachel Maddow has a long history of insinuating anyone and every one whose politics she doesn’t like (e.g. Julian Assange, Nigel Farage) is a Russian asset working for Vladimir Putin, but this time, she now she been careless with her words and those insinuations became clear accusations, that OANN is receiving payments from Russia:

    Quote ... Trump`s favorite more Trumpier than Fox TV network [OANN], the one that the president has been promoting and telling everyone they should watch and is better than Fox, turns out that network has a full time on air reporter who covers U.S. politics who is simultaneously on the payroll of the Kremlin. What?

    ... this super right wing news outlet that the president has repeatedly endorsed as a preferable alternative to Fox News, because he thinks Fox is insufficiently pro-Trump, so now he likes this is other outlet better. We literally learned today that that outlet the president is promoting shares staff with the Kremlin.

    I mean, what? I mean, it`s an easy thing to throw out, you know, like an epitaph in the Trump era, right? Hey, that looks like Russian propaganda. In this case, the most obsequiously pro-Trump right wing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda. They`re on air U.S. politics reporter is paid by the Russian government to produce propaganda for that government.
    According to Maddow’s lawyer, Theodore J. “Ted” Boutrous Jr:
    Quote “Her comment, therefore, is a quintessential statement ‘of rhetorical hyperbole, incapable of being proved true or false,’”
    In other words, when Maddow makes clear factual allegations and adds that they are “really literally” true, then she is just an entertainer, making a joke, and the public should know better than to take network news seriously. If this is the case, then there is no such law as slander.

    The plaintiffs are calling in a UC Santa Barbara linguistics professor Stefan Thomas Gries to testify and among the many citations proving the case are the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary definitions of “really” and “literally.”

    I personally would like to see Rachael get called out on all the misinformation she has put out as truths.

    The Dems here in California see her as their 'high priest' and believe anything and everything she says as if it is gospel. I've watched her spin stories day after day - and I must admit, she is good at it.

    At one point on the altmedia it came out that she was on the Clinton Foundation payroll. Don't know if it was ever proved, but clearly she touted and praised HRC in daily glorious tones.
    Blessed are the cracked, for they are the ones who let in the light!

    The "special motion to strike" filed by Maddow's et al.lawyers should be denied. The complaint against her and her employers literally states a prima facie case for slander/libel/business disparagement and is plausible on its face.

    This limo-liberal needs to drive that limo right off the nearest cliff, literally. Very few tv personalities give me a visceral yuk feeling...but she sure does. She's a war pig.

    OAN is being labeled fake news by Facebook and others and I just posted a video of three links to some reports that I think are among the best investigative reporting I've seen in recent years and they called it fake due to Maddow which was later argued by me and they put it back up but the point is the damage is real whether the liable takes hold or not! Maddow is guilty and should be reamed good of some serious funds to teach her a lesson about spouting off slanderous statements about real journalism! I hope they fry her rosy red in a pan of hot oil for months so she has to stress over it the way she instills stress in viewers with her phony narratives!
    The genius consistently stands out from the masses in that he unconsciously anticipates truths of which the population as a whole only later becomes conscious! Speech-circa 1937

    What's sad is I'm not sure any of this applies in today's world since we've transitioned into a place where logic isn't as valuable as noise. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

    "Literal Nazi's" is an aggravating and overused term. People should be ashamed of themselves for that.

    Rachel Maddow basically admits here that the criminal charges against Trump are just a political maneuver to get Trump to back out of the race. She doesn't really seem to care if he is guilty or not, and it seems she endorses that the U.S. "Justice" system is a tool of elites to intimidate certain individuals from running for office.

    Jimmy Dore covers this story further.

    Jimmy Dore does another spot on the most sanctimonious and hypocritical war monger in the media. In the first clip, Ms. Maddow relates how they will not air actual footage of Trump talking (presumably because, according to her, his lying is of such epic proportions) and how she and her staffed searched their anguished souls to make this deeply moral decision. Then Dore goes on to air many of her own lies about how effective the vaccine has proven to be and how Russian bots are invading America with Trump at the helm.

    Then you obviously have not taken into account ANY of the information in this thread.

    If you listen to Rachel Maddow then you have undoubtedly heard hundred and hundreds of hours of her talking about "Trumps collusion with Russia". Can you tell me any of it that has proven to be true? Have you ever heard her ever apologize for mountain of lies she has told about Russigate? Have you ever heard her try and correct the record? Why is she trying to exacerbate tension between the U.S.A. and Russia, the world's two largest nuclear powers, by spreading disinformation? (If you want the answer to that last question, look into who her owner, MSNBC, was owned by: the military industrial complex).

    Traditionally, the United States has a liberal segment of the population that concerned it self with abusive and intrusive government, the horror of war and the injustice of poverty. This community still exists, however, Maddow is just one of many in the media who's job it is to put liberals to sleep and rebrand them as "progressives" - people who have given up hope that government can stop the excesses of crony capitalism, surveillance government, war and poverty and instead created a hyperawareness of issues around race, GLBT and feminism. Not that Maddow does anything to advance these causes, she just uses terms like "racist" as a branding iron (alternating with other monikers like "Putin Puppet") applying them to people against the globalist/neo-liberal/neo-conservative agenda.

    If you are interested in awakening from the slumber of grandiose and toxic lies told by Rachel Maddow, I recommend the Jimmy Dore (a true liberal, who supported Bernie Sanders in 2016) video above.

    I second Sue (Ayt). It's fascinating to me, Heartsong, that you would use any one of those modifiers to describe Rachel Maddow. Although I do grant she's educated. Then again, so was Richard Nixon and Bernie Madoff....

    Dear Heartsong, this commentary from Chris Martenson, published yesterday, night be useful here. Rachel Maddow isn't mentioned at all, but it's all about the current role of the mainstream media and how unreliable they are as sources of good information — regardless of the likeability of their presenters.

    Fake news and media lies are a danger to the world, and perhaps no one is more toxic and dangerous than Rachel Maddow, the world's greatest promoter of the hoaxed Russiagate narrative, which she is still promoting in a different form now, and increasing the agitation between the world's two greatest nuclear power based on "information" that comes from her fantastical imagination, which she presents as fact.

    At the same time, she is promoting an end to the 1st Amendment, that is, in the U.S.A., the article that gives us our right to free speech.

    With Maddow, here is Barbara McQuade, a lawyer and legal analyst, who tries to make the case that free speech is a danger to the U.S. and undermines the authority of government. (Well, can't one say that about "Russiagate" too? ) She doesn't come out to request the abolition of the 1s Amendment, but she doesn't come far from it.
