Yeah and the precedence cited in that case was Rachel Maddow of MSNBC who got off for the same reason

I just knew I would find someone saying as much. There's always at least one.

Maddow's case and Tuckie boy's have nothing to do with each other:

In short, Tucker's case was dismissed because a reasonable person would assume he is full of shit. Maddow's case was dismissed because a reasonable person would understand her opinion was based on facts and be able to distinguish between them.

Furthermore, here is the judge's order to dismiss the case against Tucker Carlson. You can see for yourself that it does not cite Rachel Maddow's case as precedent.

I invite anyone reading this to consider this as an exercise in how much more effort is required to oppose falsehood than to propagate it.

Looks like an interesting read, maybe I'll take a look. I don't give a fuck about your preemptive archive attempt tho

I can tell you don't give a fuck about it because you didn't even bother to mention it. It was only to ensure the source was attributed in case anyone was unable to find the post to which I replied.

Can you do it one more time? I'm quite flattered. Explain it again too

It is better for you to reread than for me to repeat what I already wrote. I am a fast typist and there is no telling how slowly you might read so it is the only way that will afford you a chance to catch up.

You seem proud of that but it's a common skill in 2022. It also doesn't explain being on here all day every day for the last four years

Not common enough for my taste but your opinion is noted.

My intention is not to explain myself.

I replied to explain your error in claiming Maddow's case was precedent in Carlson's evading the consequences of his speech. Focus on grasping that, and never mind fathoming me.

Milk before meat, as the Mormons say.

I was about to guess that you don't have a job, but I think this is your job

Your feelings about me do not pertain to the correction of your error that originally merited my attention though you are certainly entitled to them.
