For an alternative take:
This takes the victimhood to 11.
I didnât read your article because Guardian but Iâm not surprised if in it they actively participate in making Phillips a victim.
For the American left, identity is currency, privilege is a thief, and victimhood is wealth. The Guardian is executing a bog standard win-win-win here. Democrats win if Phillips is enriched by victimhood, Phillips is also enriched, and the Guardian takes the middlemanâs cut. Truth is irrelevant.
Just another day among Democrats.

These people deserve it. I hope they make it rain litigation after litigation on these people. Awful journalism and idiot political sheep. I donât think any of them even issued a formal apology. They should start a go fund me for lawyer fees.
Sadly , I read somewhere, that Litigation costs are generally covered by insurancs. At least their premiums may rocket . I think it is about time ( on both sides), that there should be a little accountability, but quite hard to police with Freedom of Speech. Not sure of the solution
I think itâs true for news agencies, but some of them a of them are not part of the news. And winning it will be a documented case of them being âfake newsâ for the news agencies and go on record against politicians like Ilhann Omar.
Freedom of speech does not cover libel and slander, which is what they would say they did I believe.

Trump tactics. Go big and settle for what you really wanted. Wash Post will be glad to settle for $20-30mn after this is over.
Think itâs time I invested in MAGA hat
Donât think of it as a MAGA hat, more like a crazy detector.
I tried to buy one but they donât ship outside of US. I wanted to wear one when I go to the carnival in Italy where they have a giant emperor Trump float.
Plus you have to be a US citizen to get a real one 
What? How would they know if youâre a US citizen or not
Not sure but thatâs what Iâve heard; due to campaign donation laws
Yeah. I think it would count at direct contribution to the campaign. Wish they would ship it to me though.
Appeal appeal appeal
So, same judge who first âDismisse[d]â lawsuit againts WaPo in late-July now says parts are good to go.
In his court order Thursday addressing the suit against NBCUniversal, Bertelsman said NBCâs motion to dismiss the case was being âgranted in part and denied in part for the same reasonsâ as the motions to dismiss the suits involving CNN and The Post.
â[T]he court finds that the statements that plaintiff âblockedâ Phillips or did not allow him to retreat, if false, meet the test of being libelous per se,â he wrote.
So, now the defendants should start discussing how much to settle for.

The settlement will allow CNN to avoid a lengthy and potentially unpredictable trial. Sandmann sought $275 million in damages in the lawsuit he filed against CNN last March.
Haha. There is justice for media gone wild.
