OAN Loses Appeal Against Maddow, Must Pay MSNBC at Least $250,000

[634-5789]

Fringe right-wing network One America News lost the appeal of its defamation suit against MSNBC and star host Rachel Maddow on Tuesday, with a panel upholding a previous federal court ruling against OAN that required them to pay $250,000 of the defendants’ legal fees.

OAN, owned by Herring Networks, initially sued Maddow for $10 million in July 2019 after the MSNBC star said on her show that the Trump-boosting network is “paid Russian propaganda,” calling her remarks “malicious and utterly false.”

5. It's legal fees that Rachel/MSNBC don't have to pay so that's good

And not losing and getting dinged for million$ is even better.

Plus, it's an asskicking by our side.

And I doubt ANYONE likes coughing up a quarter-million bucks.

So there's that

8. Are the contract negotiations over? MSNBC should consider this as (her) added value/credibility.
