I hope the lawyers go to town on these media outlets. SPLC are standing by their statements - utter cunts. Every outlet needs to be hit, every politician, every person of influence hell even twitter which has deemed threatening of violence against children as long as they are white within their TOS. Make this the Gawker example for all things lefty lunatic.

The lawyer who offered his services is already involved in a similar case. I've heard a couple of rumours about that other case.
Yes, they think they have a good case against the SPLC etc but what they are really looking forward to is the discovery portion of the case.. getting their hands on internal SPLC documents. That might do more damage than any financial penalty

@No-Quarter said in Fake News:

Both sides are guilty of this, but right now and particularly in the last few days it has been predominantly the left.

Yes and of course it's only a subset of the left. I know you know that, but I think that's a point worth hammering

There's a nasty strain of progressivism that has been growing on the left this century. It would be great if the left cleaned house in a similar way to right vs the John Birch society in the 60's

Some of the loudest push back on this shit uses really sloppy language (the monolithic left) or somehow introduces Trump. All that does is turn off the people on the left who could help.

@MajorRage

This is a relatively fair summary of the 2hr video.. it gives benefit of the doubt to Phillips version as well as the kids

Is there video evidence backing it all up?

Yes

Wow Cejudo by TKO, not many were picking that. He's looked great over the last 18 months.

If he fights TJ at 135 it's hard to complain if the UFC does kill the 125 division

I'm not sure I believe TJ when he claims that was an easy cut.. some of the pictures earlier in the week did not look healthy

Cowboy Cerrone looked the best he has in years. He called out McGregor after the fight.. that would be a good payday for Cerrone. Conor needs a win against a name and it would be an entertaining fight
