I mean, we all accept that Fox can't be trusted. But then people will turn around and believe MSNBC or Anderson Cooper or whoever. Rachel Maddow's lawyers use the same arguments in court that Tucker Carlson's make: she doesn't have to tell the truth because everyone knows it's just entertainment and no sane person would believe her.
There are still people who believe all that Russiagate nonsense. There are still people who think Hunter's laptop was fake.
And I agree with you about Sanders. Even at our most cynical, if we think he was just saying those things and didn't mean them, it's a pleasure to hear somebody stand up and let us imagine government doing what it ought to do.
I would really love to see the quote of Maddow's lawyer claiming that no sane person would believe her. I can't seem to find it on the internet. Just something about her show being opinion, which I presume we all knew.
I already posted the legal decision in which the judge says that she deals in entertainment, not to be believed.
She certainly states things as if they were fact. You can read the statements she made for which she was sued.
