One of the reasons tRump is President-elect and not is jail is he had 10s ( 100s ? ) of millions of dollars of Super PAC money to pay his hoard of attorneys. The independent journalists that will be harnessed, in the next 4 years, like Rick has been, may not have the funding to fight. I propose there be a legal defense fund for independent journalists to give them a fighting chance. Corporate media has the $$$ to fight ( or capitulate like ABC did ( maybe they saved money for the stock holders in the long run ) Bottom line profits are more important than journalistic integrity or 1A rights ). Independents need help. Where can we find an organization with the draw and integrity to organize such a fund?
This is what Trump supporters don't acknowledge. If people really understood the law and the legal precedent of first amendment cases, specifically Sullivan, they would know that your comments were clearly protected speech. Free speech was a cornerstone of the Trump campaign - they claimed they were victims. Yet they go after you and threaten the media. The US electorate is so ignorant. I have the utmost respect for you standing up against these powerful anti-Constitution bullies.
Trump’s Gestapo knew they probably wouldn’t win the outcome. Their goal was to put you through the wringer; financially and emotionally. It’s been Trump’s MO for decades. Their intimidation is to silence their critics by making an example of you.
Thank you, Rick. You stand up for what’s right and against the authoritarians trying to take over this country and the world. We need to speak out always. Congratulations on the case going your way! Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Your victory, and the excellent language of the Court's opinion, are the kind of material we will need going forward, so the next caustic opinionator who gets sued for being caustic already has a start on what they need to defend themself. And weren't you awarded attorney's fees? Hope you can collect.
Thanks, P. J. Schuster. Every little bit helps now.
Good for you, Rick. You lead by example. This going to get uglier still. But we must step up every times
Congratulations Rick. I hope Flynn is being required to pay court costs. He should also be required to pay your legal fees.
Thanks, Sue and have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year as well. Stay safe.
It's true. You make boo boos better, R W. Thank You, Joan Wiersma and have a very Happy New Year too.

Glad the lawsuit is behind you. Eric Boehlert, Press Run, asked: 'Who is paying for all these lawsuits?'(paraphrased)

Thanks again for being 😎
