  • Wow. A lawsuit where I can’t root for either side.

    That said, “knowingly” aired sure is a stretch. Did they also “knowingly” have any evidence that what they were airing was true? Or was it just a rumor they heard? Did they use the term “allegedly” during this airing? You can’t just make up crap about someone and not lose a libel* suit. Unless you’re Fox “News” I guess.

    Note that he wasn’t suing over reporting that he was involved in Jan 6. He was suing because Fox reported that, “Epps, 62, was an undercover government agent who helped incite the Capitol attack to entrap Trump supporters.”

    *libel might not be the correct term to use here. I don’t know what is.
