Smartmatic Sues OAN Over Election-Fraud Claims
Smartmatic Corp. filed a fresh round of defamation suits over false claims that the voting-machine maker rigged the 2020 presidential election, this time against Newsmax Media Inc. and One America News Network.
Newsmax and OAN owner Herring Networks Inc. knew they were spreading “lies” by reporting that Smartmatic fraudulently flipped millions of votes away from then-president Donald Trump, according to suits filed on Wednesday in Washington and Delaware.
“Smartmatic became collateral damage as these companies sought to build audience and profit at all costs,” Chief Executive Officer Antonio Mugica said in a statement.
London-based Smartmatic, whose technology is used in elections from the Philippines to Estonia, filed an earlier suit against Fox News and its top on-air talent, as well as Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump’s main lawyers in the fight to overturn the election results, and former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell, who appeared on the network.
Trump’s claims of widespread election fraud, which helped trigger the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, gained traction with millions of Americans who continue to believe last November’s election was stolen with help from Smartmatic and a competitor, Dominion Voting Systems Inc. Trump said in a statement less than two weeks ago that the election was the “real insurrection” and the riot was “the protest.”
Neither OAN nor Newsmax have argued in court filings that the conspiracy theory is accurate.
“Newsmax reported accurately on allegations made by well-known public figures, including the President, his advisers and members of Congress, as well as reporting on Smartmatic’s claims in its defense,” the company said in a statement, which also called Smartmatic’s lawsuit an attempt to “squelch the rights of a free press.”
OAN didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Smartmatic alleges Newsmax spread the lies to compete with Fox, and that viewership “skyrocketed” as a result. Newsmax and OANN both ignored one glaring fact, according to the suits: its voting machines were only used in Los Angeles County.
Dominion, based in Denver, has similar suits pending against the networks as well as Giuliani, Powell and MyPillow Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mike Lindell, who also spread the conspiracy theory on TV. All the defendants have denied wrongdoing and moved to dismiss the claims.

Faithful Steed
Neither OAN nor Newsmax OR the President have been allowed to argue in court. "No standing."
Like the loser of an election can't contest the result and have it reviewed IN DEPTH in court?
Who exactly DOES have BETTER standing? The winner doesn't need it - who else is there?
The obvious bias of this horse-shit article is apparent.

How AT&T helped build far-right One America News
MEGAPHONE: Former President Trump urged his followers to watch One America News, whose online presence soared after the election and Capitol riot.
As it lauded former President Donald Trump and spread his unfounded claims of election fraud, One America News Network saw its viewership jump. Reuters has uncovered how America’s telecom giant nurtured the news channel now at the center of a bitter national divide over politics and truth.

One America News, the far-right network whose fortunes and viewership rose amid the triumph and tumult of the Trump administration, has flourished with support from a surprising source: AT&T Inc, the world's largest communications company.
A Reuters review of court records shows the role AT&T played in creating and funding OAN, a network that continues to spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic.
OAN founder and chief executive Robert Herring Sr has testified that the inspiration to launch OAN in 2013 came from AT&T executives.
“They told us they wanted a conservative network,” Herring said during a 2019 deposition seen by Reuters. “They only had one, which was Fox News, and they had seven others on the other [leftwing] side. When they said that, I jumped to it and built one.”
Since then, AT&T has been a crucial source of funds flowing into OAN, providing tens of millions of dollars in revenue, court records show. Ninety percent of OAN’s revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV, according to 2020 sworn testimony by an OAN accountant.
Herring has testified he was offered $250 million for OAN in 2019. Without the DirecTV deal, the accountant said under oath, the network’s value “would be zero.”

Wouldn’t necessarily trust Reuters. Their (ex) CEO is on Pfizer’s board now.

Is there a way to pick an episode and sent a link or such to someone?

I have kept a number of editorials by Pearson Sharp (?) about covid and such. I’d like to be able to share them.
I think you missed it. "There is nobody on our side."
All you can do is watch what is being said by those who are worried that some other entity will sue them for millions. That is what I said about Bloomberg from the beginning but I have found in life that people hear what they want to hear.
"There is no one on our side. We are played constantly." "It is all about the Benjamins baby."
