You can tell a lot about people when their backs are against the wall. How they behave in highly stressful and dangerous situations truly defines their character. Take President Trump, for example—he’s been relentlessly attacked by his own government, yet he still stands tall and strong. He even shrugged off an assassination attempt. This showcases his resilience and ability to rise to the challenge, no matter what is thrown his way.

Can you say the same for the dregs of humanity who work in our media? Of course not. Which brings us to this latest unbelievably despicable story.

Today’s question is this: Why would a respectable, professional, and serious American company legitimize Sharia Law? It’s actually a trick question. A truly respectable, professional, and serious American company would never do that, but CNN would. And they just did that while trying to weasel their way out of a $1 billion defamation suit against them.

This lawsuit could be the end of CNN, once and for all.

“Fake news aficionado Jake Tapper is at the center of this defamation lawsuit.

Headline USA:

CNN could be forced to pay up to $1 billion in a defamation lawsuit over a report about a military veteran who decided to help people flee Afghanistan when the Joe Biden regime withdrew from the country in 2021 that aired on anchor Jake Tapper’s show.

The news came right before the network’s presidential debate on June 27, 2024, between Biden and Donald Trump, NewsBusters reported. Tapper is expected to moderate with fellow anchor Dana Bash.

This month, a Florida appellate court affirmed that U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young and his company, Nemex Enterprises Inc., could seek punitive damages for the Afghanistan story. Young said that CNN improperly suggested he was an illegal profiteer.

Vel Freedman, Young’s lawyer, said Young lost $40-60 million in economic opportunity and could get up to $600 million if a jury awards him emotional damages. In the end, CNN could be forced to pay $1 billion to Young, if punitive damages would be included.

According to the lawsuit, CNN destroyed Young’s reputation and business after the network’s correspondent Alex Marquardt published the report about Young. Tapper introduced the segment by telling of a “black market” with demands of “exorbitant fees” and “no guarantee of safety or success,” the news source added.

Now, in a desperate attempt to stay afloat, CNN is now invoking the “Sharia Law defense.” They’re actually legitimizing (and defending) Sharia Law, which routinely abuses women, sometimes to death, in an effort to try and win that billion-dollar lawsuit. In the process, they’re also branding the Navy Vet at the center of the defamation suit a “criminal” for trying to save women’s lives.

Nicholas Fondacaro:

What’s the most ridiculous, desperate thing CNN could do to try to get out the $ 1 billion defamation suit against them?
This is it: CNN cites Sharia law for their innocence in defamation suit, argue Navy vet is a criminal for saving women

One of the opening lines of CNN’s latest filing argues that Zachary Young, in helping to get women out of Taliban oppression, carried out “activities he orchestrated and funded, which involved moving women out of Afghanistan, almost certainly were illegal under Taliban rule”

CNN goes on to argue that they were right to suggest Young was a criminal in their allegedly defamatory report, because “To get women out, the operators on the ground were required either to break the law directly or to find someone to break the law for them.”

CNN listed off a series of illegal activities Young was supposedly guilty of: “avoiding the Taliban,” “mak[ing] it past the Taliban checkpoints,” and keeping “people hidden from the Taliban”—i.e., all activities that were illegal in Afghanistan at the time.”

A CNN spokesperson told me: “Young takes issue with CNN referring to the conditions on the ground as a black market. Acknowledging the state of local law is a necessary part of the legal analysis. There is no good faith reading of CNN’s filing that supports such a false, reckless, and malicious characterization.”

In case you were still wondering, no, CNN are not the “good guys.”

Just when you think CNN has hit rock bottom, they pull a rabbit out of their hat and outdo themselves. This has to be, by far, one of their lowest and most desperate moments.
