For those downvoting, this is accurate according to his current lawsuit(s) against him. Certainly not exaggerated.


sort by: page size:

Probably because he isn't actually making libelous statements.

It's not false just because you don't like it.


And he doubled down in that email to the Buzzfeed reporter and implied that he had proof for those bogus claims. He’s being sued for that.

There's very little "misinformation" about him at all. He's cased, and cased correctly. Your own cite demonstrates it amply.

You struck me as better than buying this shit. You don't have to care, but I am disappointed.


This is actually giving credence to that idiot's bogus claims. It's clickbait to pretend there's a controversy when it's just a publicity stunt that's gone on for far too long.

Who he works for won't negate the fact how ridiculous the original statement is at just bare face value.

That is an allegation which has not been proven without a doubt.

The headline, while complimentary, makes sense as it identifies him in the way most folks would recognize.


I couldn't find any authoritative source, but it's hard to believe anything else if you've been following him for a while.

That's an example of "like him or not", it's not a retraction and nothing published was false.

The thing is, that's what people said about his previous work, and so much of that was discredited, it's hard to believe it this time. Definite case of boy-who-cried-wolf, for me.

I will admit I'm biased: I find the allegations very difficult to believe and their timing extremely convenient. That doesn't mean they aren't true (any more than the sex assault allegations against Trump are false because they only just came out recently), but rather that further scrutiny is reasonable.

There's also the argument that there's a big difference between individuals in the campaign doing something, and the campaign endorsing/encouraging/demanding something. That defense has been used by the Trump campaign whenever it finds anti-Semitic, white nationalist or obviously racist campaign operatives in the media (as has happened several times), so if it applies there, it ought to apply here.


Somebody is definitely downplaying him here. Im not seeing any data to support that though.

He's not. People are still buying into 40 year-old propaganda against him.

The facts are very clear-cut and I provided sources.

> the chances of the publicly known story being accurate are pretty slim

That's empty speculation. If that's the only defense for his actions then there isn't any.

It's going to take a lot more than that to convince people to vote for him.


Is there any verification to his core claims? His videos meander so much, his claims are vague, and the statement about firing his attorneys is concerning.

You are right, I'm taking him at his word.

I'm not sure how they can prove much here. All I've seen is an activist in the space supporting him. Specifically https://twitter.com/elizableu

I could be wrong.


There's also the AJ defense for it - that at this point in time, there is a public expectation that no reasonable person should be stupid enough to actually believe such a tweet. Everyone knows that the man is just playing a media character.

Sounds like you've never read about "witch hunting". These journalists are just taking what he's done, putting it into context, and writing about it.

The man has suffered nothing this entire time. He makes millions.


There are so many false headlines about him. It’s all just outrageous.

And a lot of people believe whatever NYT or The Hill says, when they are obviously out to get him.


It comes from this according to the comments on reddit. He's treating it as fact and so are his right wing followers

While it is an attack, their cite a link for every claim they make against him. IMO they're entitled to attack as long as they have the evidence to back it up.
