OAN is suing Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, NBC and Comcast

[fraurosena]

OAN (One America News) is suing Rachel Maddow, NBC and MSNBC, and their owner, Comcast. Why, do you ask?

It's because Comcast refuses to carry OAN on its cable service, and Rachel Maddow allegedly accused OAN of being financed by Russians.

This tweet has a link to the full complaint:

From the complaint: 

Desptie OAN's rapid rise and growing audience, Comcast has refused to carry OAN on its cable service. Comcast refuses to carry OAN because it counters the liberal message of MSNBC. By this blatant censorship, Comcast is depriving millions of its subscribers from hearing a different viewpoint.

Here's the part about Rachel Maddow:

Maddow is obsessed with conspiracy-mongering about a connection between Russia and President Donald Trump. Her obsession is so pronounced that even other media-outlets have called her out for her lack of journalistic integrity. [...] Then Maddow made a new, false and maliciously defamatory claim [...] Maddow said, "In this case, the most obsequiously pro-Trump rightwing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda."

Of course OAN wants punitive damages:

Maddow, MSNBC Cable, NBC Universal and Comcast acted with oppression, fraud and malice. Plaintiff is therefore entitled to punitive damages.

Oh, and they want a trial by jury.
