Conspiracy theories and lies

"The audience should understand (certain personalities) are not 'stating actual facts' about the topics (they) discuss," Fox News lawyers.

(Indiatimes.com)

First it was Fox News (about Tucker Carlson), now it is Sidney Powell claiming in a court of law, that “no reasonable person” would believe the conspiracy theories spun by Powell.

Their defense, “Reasonable people should not believe what these TV celebrities are saying.”
What are Tucker Carlson and Sidney Powell saying about all those people that believe them?

Our local Palm Harbor Community Contributor (Tim Bryce) should understand that even if that is a legal defense, it is not a moral defense for spreading conspiracy theories and lies. The former President was immune from Federal legal troubles while in office, no matter what he did or said, but everyone else is not.

Where does it end? The law protects us from bullying by those in a position of power. The problem is that process could take years if not decades and many dollars to correct in the courts.
“We the People,” have the right and responsibility to say that is not good enough. Please standup and fight for the people around you that can’t fight for themselves. Stand up and say this is not good enough. We are a country trying to correct all the injustices baked into this countries creation. Help every day to fight the racism and elitism by those trying to protect their “comfortable way of life" Bubble, at the expense of everyday hard working Americans.

Don’t get sidetracked by all the smoke and mirrors of focusing on immigration. This has been a talking point for decades, blaming “foreigners” for all our struggles. Let's discuss current life and death issues, 550,000 Covid-19 deaths.

Patch, please re-evaluate all local contributor’s classifications for those that are promoting their books or businesses. They have the right to post, but not as a sanctioned contributor if their only purpose is to perpetuate conspiracy theories or promote their business (against Patch guidelines for neighbor posts) .
