Didn't Fox News go to Court saying no one should take Tucker seriously?

[Baltimike]

I seem to remember coming across that a few weeks ago...that Fox News went to Court and said no reasonable person should believe a word he says, and they won their case.

11. Similarly, the cast of "Law & Order" cannot be rationally mistaken for real cops and prosecutors.

15. If that's how they feel they should have a warning ahead of every show.

Or better yet, fire him.

[Towlie]

18. It's probably not how they feel, it's just their lawyers' favored strategy to win their case.

19. Right.

And how could they make that argument in a court if they're not letting their audience know the show is actually a clown act. A nasty clown act actually. Seems to me they ought to be consistent.

22. People Are Mockingly Referring to Sidney Powell's Dominion Strategy as "The Tucker Carlson Defense":

They did not cover this defense back when I took criminal law (I AMJURED this course in law school).

People are quick to compare this strategy to one Fox News incorporated while defending host Tucker Carlson. The Judge in the case, Mary Kay Vyskocil, agreed with the strategy, writing, “Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statement he makes.”

The Tucker Carlson Defense is now a trending topic on Twitter. Attorney Ron Filipkowski writes, “In Sidney Powell’s response to the Dominion lawsuit, her lawyers state that she never actually believed what she was saying, she was just representing her client’s position. The Tucker Carlson defense.

And author Grant Stern notes, “In deploying The Tucker Carlson defense, Sidney Powell is admitting that her credibility is completely nonexistent.”
