Is it legal free speech or is it not? Who cares otherwise legally speaking. If you are so worried about defamation theres thousands of cases from maga, why aren't you fighting those?
I'm not fighting any of them. If someone has a defamation case against Fox News then I bet everyone here doesn't go and defend Fox News, because they're not principled and are just emotionally activated by Donald Trump and the BBC being involved in this one.
Yes, why wouldn't they be? Precedent and history matters. The maga side are habitual natural liars, the other aren't.
