Purported “clear” messaging just means parroting talking-points that are easily recognizable through familiarity. Such clear messaging can obscure rather than reveal realities. It means that there is no sensitivity left over for the intelligence of irony, parody, and reflective distance. Time shows that factions that demand “clear” messaging want to monopolize all expression and prefer to deliberately misinterpret and gaslight novel thought instead of charitably contemplating an unfamiliar point of view.

Reality is complicated. Many honest people don’t have their minds made up in advance about all matters. There is not a simple us vs. them dichotomy anywhere but in the maths of plebiscite. Consider, for example, that Lincoln was a Republican. Parties change. People change. All is in flux. Some people might accuse one of disloyalty when voting your conscience. But there is no way to regulate sincerity. This is why the parallel language of Freemasonry exceeds at passive aggressive behavior and unaccountability.

“Keep fighting,” #JeaninePirro told #SidneyPowell. #Fox settled a similar #defamation case brought by #Dominion for $787.5 million in 2023.

Pirro’s producer, Jerry Andrews, warned her directly to stay away from claims of election fraud as concerns spread internally about their veracity. “You should be very careful with this stuff & protect yourself given the ongoing calls for evidence that has not materialized,” he said.

AP News · Newsmax agrees to pay $67M in defamation case over 2020 election claimsThe conservative network Newsmax has agreed to pay $67 million to settle a lawsuit accusing it of defaming a voting equipment company by spreading lies about President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. The settlement announced Monday comes after Fox News Channel paid $787.5 million to settle a similar lawsuit in 2023 and Newsmax paid what court papers describe as $40 million to settle a libel lawsuit from a different voting machine manufacturer, Smartmatic, which also was a target of pro-Trump conspiracy theories on the network.

Dominion says it's pleased to have settled.
