Since when is Karen McDougal part of the Government??

Re: Karen McDougal loses lawsuit over ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ segment slamming ‘extortion’ of President Trump

But Manhattan Federal Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled that context is key. Viewers, she wrote, tune in specifically for Carlson’s “overheated rhetoric” and “pitched commentary.”

“As (Fox News) notes, Mr. Carlson himself aims to ‘challenge political correctness and media bias,’” the judge wrote.

...

Fox News in a statement said McDougal’s suit was a threat to free speech.

“(Her) lawsuit attempted to silence spirited opinion commentary on matters of public concern. The court today held that the First Amendment plainly prohibits such efforts to stifle free speech. The decision is a victory not just for FOX News Media, but for all defenders of the First Amendment,” the statement said.


Is Vyskocil another un-qualified RWNJ judge?
