Southern Poverty Law Center’s ‘hate’ list suffers ‘monumental’ legal setback
Immigration group wins first round in challenge
This is great news.
SPLC loooooooves to slander & defame good people. SPLC then gets quoted/used by other libs, for censorship & deplatforming to maintain the fake Lib Bubble.
Now there's a chance for the curtain to be peeled back, inner workings to come out.

SPLC attorneys said the First Amendment’s free speech guarantee protects opinions, so the organization cannot be held liable for defamation.That's the same defense Facebook used to defend their "fact checkers". They do not state any facts, just protected opinions.
As I have repeatedly pointed out, our resident sniveling bitch "boy's" beloved left leaning media bias checker also uses the same "fact checkers" used by Facebook. As they use the same methods on both sites, then clearly they are just stating opinions, not facts.

@raphjd said in SPLC facing the music:
That's the same defense Facebook used to defend their "fact checkers".
It's also the same defense used by FOX News and Tucker Carlson.

NYT has yet to cover this (and much other!) front-page news.
@hubrys Hey genius, Fox didn't defend Tucker. Even you should know that.

@blablarg18 I imagine it's because, despite your bullshit news sources choice of headline words, it isn't a "massive legal victory." The case is not over; it was just a decision on a preliminary motion to dismiss, within which the rules of civil procedure state that the judge must presume, for purposes of deciding the motion, that the facts alleged by the non-moving party are true.
In other words, The Dustin Inman Society haven't proven their allegations as true. The court had to presume them true for purposes of deciding the motion.
Far from a massive legal victory, the lawsuit has barely even started.

@hubrys OMG can you read? I said in the beginning,
Immigration group wins FIRST round [right to discover]... Now there's a chance for the curtain to be peeled back, inner workings to come out.
Way to tell me what I already know & have stated.
As to this SPLC thing deserving front page: NYT reporter who said that. REad the link.

SPLC whistleblower wrote article saying SPLC as "a highly profitable scam".
In 2019, the SPLC fired its co-founder, Morris Dees, amid a racial discrimination and sexual harassment scandal that barely made a blip in the legacy media. At the time, a former SPLC employee by the name of Robert Moser published an article, “The Reckoning of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center” in The New Yorker.
Moser wrote about the guilt he “couldn’t help feeling about the legions of donors who believed that their money was being used, faithfully and well, to do the Lord’s work in the heart of Dixie. We were part of the con, and we knew it.” He wrote that SPLC staffers would chat “about the oppressive security regime, the hyperbolic fund-raising appeals, and the fact that, though the center claimed to be effective in fighting extremism, ‘hate’ always continued to be on the rise, more dangerous than ever, with each year’s report on hate groups.”
“‘The S.P.L.C.—making hate pay,’ we’d say,” he wrote. “It was hard, for many of us, not to feel like we’d become pawns in what was, in many respects, a highly profitable scam.”
Moser’s revealing article has become even more important since he published it in 2019. Moser himself wrote for the Intelligence Project, the SPLC division that produces the “hate group” list.
Unclear if King defamation suit against SPLC use whistleblower's testimony or just his articles. But either one a help.
