No, you're still not getting it.

First:

Truth is widely accepted as a complete defense to all defamation claims.

Second:

Saying 'maybe' about anything without evidence is hollow and meaningless. Maybe 'the message' is wrong? It's public, watch it and come back with evidence if you think that.

It was legally tested to be true and neither of your posts have any actual substance. Maybe the sun will explode tomorrow too. I have as much evidence of that as you have put here, which is none at all.




I don’t think you understand the difference between “not defamation” and good reporting. You can easily use a bunch of true statements to paint a completely misleading narrative.

All of those are true and would invalidate a defamation claim that the soldier on the left was pointing a gun at the unarmed guy’s head.

None of that is relevant to whatever massively biased narrative shows like LWTN present. The art of these shows is to say a bunch of true things and exclude other things so the emergent picture is grossly misleading without ever lying.

LWTN is a terrible way to stay informed. It’s an entertaining way to get a very biased take on a topic though.


I don't think you understand the difference between repeating your claims over and over and having any evidence at all.

Ironically in another comment you are upset at someone for criticism with no examples or evidence.

Then you are doing the same thing here, repeating your claim, never backing it up with any information. If that's not hypocrisy, I don't know what is.
