@Perroden -- J B doesn't trust news media, and was too lazy to google or search YouTube for info. I get it, I have many relatives like that, if FOX doesn't say it and Newsmax doesn't confirm it (parrot it), it ain't true. Doesn't matter that it's on video on a hundred stations, it's fake news. Odd that this only seemed an issue once Trump started calling mainstream news fake news. It doesn't matter to them or any Trumpet cult member what the truth is, they WANT to believe Fox News, even though in the dozen some odd lawsuits against them Fox defends themselves that they aren't news, they are entertainment, and as such are allowed to lie under free speech rules. Let's also posit that free speech goes as far as public safety allows, shout "FIRE!" in a theater when there is none and you risk lives, and will likely go to jail. Trump and his Trumpet army trumpeted lies about the election which was argued in over 140 cases in the US in almost every state, shopped predominately to Republican Judges and only one single case of election fraud won (Texas, a county had a law that poll watchers had to be in the same room as the vote counters and that county had erected small glass rooms inside the big room due to COVID. A recount was ordered which changed nothing.). ALL other cases ended up being thrown out, and several lawyers lost their licenses to practice law as a result. Why? you can lie in a case filing, in court, to a jury, but NOT to a judge. If you watched the cases all end the same essentially as Giuliani's cases did; The judge repeatedly asks if they have evidence of voting fraud, gets a non-answer (remember can't lie to a judge), and finally Giuliani says "No, but we just KNOW there was fraud." Followed by "Case Dismissed." Trump's LIES cost LIVES, although the number is debatable due to after the event suicides by disillusioned officers, it did cost lives. Just like a theater and yelling fire, free speech laws end where it affects public safety (per SCOTUS).
