Media Bias

“Walker was Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend—he was also supposedly a drug dealer,” Carlson declared. “That was one of the reasons the police were there. Walker admits that he fired first and that he shot a police officer.”

Walker, however, was nowhere to be found on any of the series of warrants that were served by police, including the “no-knock” warrant on Taylor’s apartment by three plainclothes policemen. Taylor’s ex-boyfriend, Jemarcus Glover, was the subject of the investigation by Louisville police, while Walker has no drug offenses to his name.

Towards the end of his program, however, Carlson issued an on-air correction about how he described Walker, insisting he “inadvertently” mixed up Walker and Glover.

“We made a mistake at the top of the show and we want to correct it, as we always do,” the Fox News host stated. “We flipped the names around of a couple people inadvertently. We said police believed Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend was a drug dealer—he might have been. We meant to say her ex-boyfriend. We wanted to correct that, sorry.”

So now should Tucker Carlson and Fox News be sued for defamation? Isnt Cardi B being sued for defamation for calling a Trump supporter racist?

I personally dont think so but I dont think any of these "defamation" lawsuits should be filed, its getting ridiculous with all these petty "defamation" lawsuits.

1. So unnecessary to add that part.

2. I had to take a law class in college. I'll always remember this: You can sue anyone for anything. Doesn't mean you'll win. People use lawsuits way too often. It's rather embarrassing. Don't care who does it.

I think we could both agree all the states that don't have pre-trial standards of evidence (to prevent frivolous lawsuits specifically designed to hurt innocent people's pockets) need to pass laws that will throw out lawsuits like those. I believe it was John Oliver who did a special on it:
