"Instead of retracting the false statements about
Dominion—as detailed in our last letter—Newsmax instead decided to double down on its libel while
simultaneously claiming to 'clarify' its news coverage."
—Dominion counsel on non-retraction
To Lin Wood's purported expert who confused Michigan with Minnesota:
"You have positioned yourself as a leader in the ongoing attacks against Dominion by recklessly promoting long-debunked conspiracy theories that Dominion is somehow responsible for widespread voter fraud."
To SNL-spoofed Mellissa Carone:
"You gained international infamy earlier this month as Rudy Giuliani’s so-called 'star witness' who could supposedly corroborate outlandish accusations that Dominion has somehow rigged" the 2020 elections.
To Kraken 'witness' Josh Merritt:
"You have worked closely with Ms. Powell and positioned yourself as 'Spyder,' a self-described 'U.S. military intelligence expert'—despite having no such expertise—and as a prominent leader of the ongoing misinformation campaign."
To Fox's general counsel:
"We hope you are staying healthy and safe," followed by info about how the network's guests have unleashed "disinformation" and "death threats" against them.
The softer tone is significant. They're giving Fox a chance to right the ship at the end.

Wisconsin Supreme Court’s chief justice denounces threats against her peers.
Context: There have been multiple reports of threats against justices who ruled against Trump, including one he attacked by name and antisemitic abuse against two Jewish justices.

It should be easy enough.
Trump's relatively stingy with pardons.
All it takes is an Excel spreadsheet, a sum function, and a calculator for the percentages.
Just saying.
The internet abhors a vacuum.
It apparently already exists, my readers inform me, quite quickly.
"I have read more briefs than any of us care to recount."
The conference is being held on Zoom, but she says that she would recognize the attorneys' voices even if the feed cut off.
Judge Levy emphasizes that today's proceedings cannot and will not end all litigation: "Let me be clear about this: This is a proposed partial settlement on the litigation."
The same sentence applies to both and has the benefit of not lying to users that a “dispute” exists or that “sources” of misinformation have any value.
Think about how many words Twitter has to expend simply to demonstrate a lack of vertebrae.
Three words are all you need.
If it insists on being wordy, try this likewise accurate alternative by YouTube, which surprisingly has shown Twitter up in how to correctly label misinformation.
The Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit that would have blocked Trump's census-apportionment memo for lack of standing, a principle Trump vilified before that boosts him now.
