    Maddow literally used the same defense in court as well.

    Maddow, nothing more than a shrill propagandist for the Democratic Party as is Hannity for the GOP. I'm amazed at how many people think these night time political talk show hosts are actually presenting news and not propaganda designed to get the viewer to support and vote for the political party's candidates they support.

    They do give the die hard party supporters a place to go to reinforce their political beliefs and hear how evil and destructive the other political party is. These night time political talk shows are probably one of the reasons so many of one party hate those of the other party. The other party is always presented as an enemy to this nation. Yep, I'd say these night time political propaganda talk shows have greatly contributed to today's modern political era of polarization, the great divide and the super, mega, ultra high partisanship.

    Now you can't blame the corporate giants of these cable news networks for putting the likes of Maddow and Hannity on the tube. Both make these corporate giants tons of money by giving their viewership what they want in the way they want it by portraying the party they propagandize for as the good guys and the other party as the evil enemy out to destroy this nation. Bottom line, there's very little truth if any in the propaganda they spew, Those who believe this propaganda are very gullible, but its their own gullibility their viewers want reinforced and believe all the propaganda as gospel. Joseph Goebbels would be proud of these night time political propaganda TV show hosts.

    Nice try.
    Maddow’s show is different than a typical news segment where anchors inform viewers about the daily news," an Obama-appointed judge ruled.”

    On one hand, a viewer who watches news channels tunes in for facts and the goings-on of the world. MSNBC indeed produces news, but this point must be juxtaposed with the fact that Maddow made the allegedly defamatory statement on her own talk show news segment where she is invited and encouraged to share her opinions with her viewers. Maddow does not keep her political views a secret, and therefore, audiences could expect her to use subjective language that comports with her political opinions.

    Thus, Maddow’s show is different than a typical news segment where anchors inform viewers about the daily news. The point of Maddow’s show is for her to provide the news but also to offer her opinions as to that news. Therefore, the Court finds that the medium of the alleged defamatory statement makes it more likely that a reasonable viewer would not conclude that the contested statement implies an assertion of objective fact.”

    The actual words from the Judge.
    Massive fail on your part.

    “Viewers expect her to do so, as it is indeed her show, and viewers watch the segment with the understanding that it will contain Maddow’s “personal and subjective views” about the news. See id. Thus, the Court finds that as a part of the totality of the circumstances, the broad context weighs in favor of a finding that the alleged defamatory statement is Maddow’s opinion and exaggeration of the Daily Beast article, and that reasonable viewers would not take the statement as factual. . . .

    Here, Maddow had inserted her own colorful commentary into and throughout the segment, laughing, expressing her dismay (i.e., saying “I mean, what?”) and calling the segment a “sparkly story” and one we must “take in stride.” For her to exaggerate the facts and call OAN Russian propaganda was consistent with her tone up to that point, and the Court finds a reasonable viewer would not take the statement as factual given this context. The context of Maddow’s statement shows reasonable viewers would consider the contested statement to be her opinion. A reasonable viewer would not actually think OAN is paid Russian propaganda, instead, he or she would follow the facts of the Daily Beast article; that OAN and Sputnik share a reporter and both pay this reporter to write articles. Anything beyond this is Maddow’s opinion or her exaggeration of the facts.”

    Doh!!

    Without his inoculation campaign Washington might not have had an army large and/or fit enough to defeat the British.
