Earlier today during a news conference Florida Governor hinted at legal action against CBS News for their “intentional” and “premeditated lies” during the 60 Minutes hit piece against him and the administration.
By all accounts the intentional creation of a false story, with specific intent to lie, is enough for legal action against the corporate media outlet. This could get very interesting…. WATCH:
.
Even Democrats in Florida are upset at the way CBS intentionally lied about the facts of the events. Making matters even more interesting CBS attacked one of Florida’s most cherished companies, Publix Supermarket, who sets the standard for community stewardship and taking care of employees.
Ron DeMAGA Truthteller
Excellent , Mr Piddles ! ?
Go get ’em Ron!
One word: “Good”.
Immediate response is what’s needed, and that’s what we might be getting here. It’s about time.
The Sad-Funny thing is that the wounds from these episodes on the part of the MSM Propaganda Machine are entirely self-inflected. It’s mostly sad(!), and a little bit funny.
The being said… we need bigger wounds. Legal Hacksaws, Buzzsaws, Blow Torches… let ‘er rip!
“They’re smear-merchants; that’s why nobody trusts corporate media.” ?
Hence, why they got the moniker of presstitutes.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/presstitute
Pelousi’s ‘wrap up smear’ is what they are doing to Matt Gaetz, too.
And highly paid actors.
God. Protect this amazing leader of courage and wisdom. He is rare these days.

If he’s able to get them, won’t it be a first ever?
I don’t recall there ever being consequences from Trump.
Slander AND Libel. I like it.
Publix actually should lead the charge any lawsuit since CBS cannot cower behind the First Amendment…
Kudos to him for fighting back. Trump taught them all how, but only a tiny fraction of the GOP actually learned the lessons.
The GOP doesn’t want to learn any lessons. President Trump taught them to fight but the GOP wants the CCP running the USA.
Can he sue them for slander or something? was also wondering that about Trump; can he sue them for slandering him? Right now they are just cancelling him out of existence but since he is no longer a public official can he go after them for past offenses?
I would think he could. I would watch Trump on streaming media, live at a pres onference. he wo0uld say “I wanna do A B and C, and we also need to ditcdh D E and F.” The next day the Associated Press would run a story on the press conference and report that Trump stated “I would never think of doing A B and C and I fully plan on keeping policies D E and F”
Then the Talking Heads on TV and radio would repeat this fabrication ad nauseum.
By contrast, Paul Ryan’s Fox News is pimping Gov. Kemp as the hero of the battle for Honest Elections. They want him re-elected, so he’ll be in place to help them steal the next election, too.
China would never have allowed Kowtow Kemp to sign the bill if it touched the the massive CheatWare Voting Machine Fraud, machines which are made in China and report to China.
Just like Gov. Kemp does.
… Paul Ryan … barf
The law is a joke. It actually expands opportunities for fraud, enshrining drop boxes into the law, and allowing people to vote an absentee ballot if they swear out an affidavit of citizenship. Kemp and Raffensperger are both dirty.
Yep, the Liberal Hysteria is likely camouflage.
Pretty sure I read the drop boxes are to be located inside polling places so they will be monitored. Here:
Hopefully. this will prevent ballot harvesting, unless harvesters only do 1 ballot at a time.
BUT, you can request your absentee ballot SEVENTY EIGHT days before the election. That seems a bit much
https://www.11alive.com/article/news/politics/elections/georgia-voting-law-rules-for-absentee-voting-ballot-drop-boxes/85-aaec28ac-678c-49db-8a87-f77d93b32aea
No need for an of this, not at all. If you can walk to a drop box you can walk your ass to the polls on voting day.
I’m glad you said it. My mother watches Faux and I couldn’t help notice that they are trying to rehabilitate Kemp. It’s not going to work. The Dominion machines they purchased for the 2020 election won’t be able to save him from the wrath of MAGA!
Kemp and the POS GA SOS Raffensperger need to be in prison.
Saw an article yesterday that said Raffensperger is still fighting the audit in Fulton county. Doesn’t want them to have access to the original paper ballots….they are to use the images. Claims it’s against GA law for unauthorized people to handle ballots or some such,
Yet, they allowed people to cure and ballot harvest….oh the irony.
Gov. Desantis is a hero!
After the past 5-6 months of being gagged from Twitter, watching channels get scrubbed from YT,
and blatant lies and manipulation / PrAVDA tactics concerning the theft of an election,
“fightin’ words” coming from a MAGA governor is truly
welcome music to my ears!!
Thank you, Gov. Desantis.
It’s amazing how close Florida came to being run by a crack head. But saying that I’m sure there’s plenty of crack head Democrats in the nation like Biden.
Also, by cleaning up the voter and election fraud in Broward county, DeSantis forced the fraudsters to do their vote stealing in 6 other counties in other states, making the fraud much more obvious and difficult to pull off.
Super kudos to Governor DeSantis.
That would be CrackHead(D) Nicole “Nikki” Fried, who won her position solely by promising the bums and dopers legalization of pot in Florida.
I agree, she’s where the problem is coming from. She’s going to run for governor in 2022.
Parmesan cheese heads.
I know that clown would have ruined our state. I thank God very day that Ron DeSantis became the Governor.
The threat sounds palpable.
Lacking a prominent and unambiguous retraction by “60 Minutes (of Fabrications)” that is every bit as sensational and visible as was their original false report on Sunday, Gov. D should press forward with litigation seeking heavy $$$$ damages.
But, IMHO, 60 Minutes of Libel will be unable to apologize. They will weasel word their defense to try and make excuses while not outright apologizing. No doubt their amoral corporate lawyers believe they have more to lose by confessing their blatantly visible sins.
I wonder if he would lend his Cojones to our AZ Governor?
Even one would do, hahaha…..
https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/22/lesley-youve-discredited-yourself-trump-posts-full-60-minutes-interview/
60 Minutes has been destroying itself for a while now. Maybe they have reached a critical mass of corruption and lies.
I have never watched even one segment of 60 Minutes.
They were actually pretty good forty years ago but like all media became a voice of the D’s.
Everyone watched 60 min back in the 70s. Upon reflection, I’m not sure they were ever any good. It was always gotcha reporting. What a waste of time, 60min at a stretch.
I remember the expose on the pickup truck gas tanks that miraculously exploded milliseconds before impact in their staged collision
Mike Wallace personified the “gotcha reporting.” His legacy is Chrissy.
Have to disagree. They habitually destroyed businesses and individuals without giving them a chance to fight back. They are and have always been malicious and out for blood.
Is it a bit much to hope they self-immolate and take out a few others in the enemedia with them?
For year Publix was listed in the top 10 employers in Florida. I know guys who had wives working there and after 15 years had a few hundred grand in their profit sharing plan.
Grew up in FL back when Publix was getting it’s start. They weren’t open on Sundays (back then), no tipping allow for assisting in taking the groceries to one’s car and they had/have a policy of hiring people to bag the groceries who would not be hired elsewhere, particularly people with downs. It’s a great company.
MaineCoon, I have always loved the hiring that they do also. I’m in GA. and have a special place in my heart for Downs Syndrome friends. In St. Auggie, there is a school for the deaf, and I see that they are also happily working at those Publix stores as well. If I may, Publix is like the Chic-Fil-A of grocery stores. Most pleasant and helpful workers by far!
Yes, the Publix founder was a strong Christian and those values carried over into store policy. They have always hired Downs Syndrome friends since my mom starting shopping at Publix in the 60s. Employees are treated well.
Per Wiki (sorry):
Publix Super Markets, Inc., commonly known as Publix, is an employee-owned, American supermarket chain headquartered in Lakeland, Florida.[1] Founded in 1930 by George W. Jenkins, Publix is a private corporation that is wholly owned by present and past employees and members of the Jenkins family.[5] Publix operates throughout the Southeastern United States, with locations in Florida (817), Georgia (192), Alabama (79), South Carolina (63), Tennessee (49), North Carolina (49), and Virginia (19).[1]
Sizable deaf community where I live and Publix hires deaf people, too.
Wow. Didn’t know that. Publix has to be one of the best corps out there.
Love our Governor, he takes no crap from anyone. ??????
Publix might just own CBS outright and in short order. Would be fun to watch. CBS messed with the wrong crowd.
Their lawyers are already working on the issue.
CBS better apologize and retract, soon.
I, and I suspect others, hope CBS fights it in court, and losses the part they sit on.
Squeeze ’em until their pips squeak Ron
I hope Publix goes after CBS.
As an aside, if you’re ever in Florida, I highly suggest visiting a Publix. They have amazing sandwiches.
where shopping is a pleasure..not just a slogan
And un-breaded spicy hot wings! Mmmmm
nothing compares to the fresh breads, or the cheesecakes, or the cookies..and boar’s head meats and cheeses are the bomb! and i don’t have a Publix in my neighborhood – have to travel to shop.
lets discuss “practical” law.
as a private citizen, with a public “standing” filing and pursuing legal action is expensive.
BUT….as a Governor, an elected official, with a full compliment of attorneys with the backing of a constitutionally recognized AG, WITH A STATE WHO IS BY FAR MAGA LAND PERSONIFIED,
I think DeSantis has the means to deliver severe beatings at CBS.
In fact DeSantis doesn’t need to lift a finger. His AG can file a case, that CBS by intentionally distorting his comments have caused HARM TO CITIZENS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA by setting confusion about COVID…
which I will remind, is still regarded as a National and a State Emergency Order. (special state of emergency, but certain powers and protections come into play).
It would be so lovely to see a Judge in Florida ordering the email and all communications and the full raw video and who was involved in chopping it.
lets the bodies hit the floor.
they will settle
Florida ain’t settling…nothing.
it’s war.
I hope they are thinking like you Reg. DeSantis is playing the game by the Dems rules just as Trump did. The Dems don’t know how to play when both sides have the same rule book.
I like how Bongino puts it- it’s a time for war time rules which means you play by no rules or in the cases he references you play by the rules the enemy sets and you force them to live through the consequence of those rules.
In the past, conservatives played by the set rules rather than the rules being established as the game is played. Dems rely on that….they always move the goal posts or change which rulebook they are following.
I hope DeSantis follows through and by the method you laid out.
This would be a key moment for Stephen Miller’s new law firm to step in since Lin Wood is tirelessly working in SC on gaining a lead role in the Republican Party.
But I do like Regitiger’s idea of the FL AG stepping in with the full weight of FL MAGA government.
The blessing is that in 2021, there are options.
May God save America!
If only de Santis had been born 8 +/- years earlier, and had been elected Governor of Florida 8 years earlier, Trump might well have picked him for VP instead of Pence and Jan 6 might have been a lot different.
President Trump picking Pence as VP was equivalent to President Regan picking Bush as VP, he had no choice.
Catturd weighs in:
??????
Heavy D on steriods. Bring it, Gov. DeSantis!
“Heavy D” I like it.
I so enjoy Catturd’s memes. They are hilarious???
Man, DeSantis speaks with his hands just like Trump. Even calling the media a “disaster” is Trump-like
I’m hoping for DeSantis and Publix to disembowel CBS first and the rest of the manurestream media next.
Nail’em.
CBS has gone Full Toilet Swirl. They just read Democrat hand-outs now. Or Democrats read theirs-whatever. Absolutely no journalism, just Pure Agit-Prop.
Edward R. Murrow, my ass.
The uniparty looks down on anyone outside of DC or Manhattan as little rubes who can be stomped on for pleasure.
They are about to learn how wrong they are . . .
DeSantis better file his lawsuit in Tallahassee because it’ll be tossed out in New York City!
He will. Tallahassee will do. MAGA.
Absolutely correct.
Easy case. 60 minutes intentionally edited out almost all of the governor’s answer. A lawyer who has experience and success litigating big media defamation cases is Lin Wood. I wonder if DeSantis will hire him or if Wood is now too toxic.
It should be an easy case.
Considering the state of much of the courts and the legal profession these days?
I would not make any specific predictions about how it would turn out.
I would hope DeSantis taps our state AG Ashlee Moody to file suits representing the state, the Governor and the Florida based Publix. Trials held here with Florida judges, in Florida courts with Florida residents on the juries.
CBS = Criminal BS
He may be toxic, but a good case is a good case.
The ministry of propaganda needs to pay for YEARS of lies and half truths.
Give ’em hell !!
Here’s what will actually happen … they go to court and after months of legal wrangling win and 60 Minutes is forced to admit their mistake … which will be in the form of a small statement issue at the end of the show, when people are no longer paying as much attention.
I have to say , here in Washington State , I’m just a Little Bit Green You Floridians have Governor Ron DeSantis ?
Greeness Aside ?, I’m So Very Happy and Pleased to Know that Floridians are So Blessed to have Such Strong and Fearless Governor for Your State !
That Really Gives me
Hope that Someday That will be Our Reality here in Washington State !
I Just Know there Have to be More People like Ron DeSantis Out There !!!
And I Totally Get why Florida doesn’t want to let him go until he has done his second term there !
I wouldn’t either !!!
everything everything everything changed when in early 2017 mike pence did a sunday morning interview on cbs cbs cbs.
we know this; and now this.
I am so thankful I left Michigan several years ago.
I am so thankful Gretchen Whitmer is not my Governor
I am so thankful I do not have to shop at Meijer stores (owned by family of Peter Meijer)
I am so thankful I live in Florida
I am so thankful Ron DeSantis is my Governor
I am so thankful I shop at Publix …………… daily.
Living the good life!
We, Thank God Daily!
Governor DeSantis is a God Send! We almost had Crazy Ass Gilliam!
I can’t even phantom what this State would look like, with a Meth/Crack Head in the Governors Office!
Thank you,RonnieD! You make Us Proud to be a Floridian!
I have ZERO trust in the judiciary. The left will find the judge who will either toss the case, or slant it in favor of CBS.
Libel and Slander are only punishable when the right is “accused” of doing it.
Every time something good happens or there is a positive thread, you show up and take a dump.
You’re so predictable.
Wait until we get closer to the midterms…gonna get sporky.
The BaracKamala with Joe Biden administration has ushered in a new level of falseness and lies even greater than the years up to Election 2020. This has made the MSM proagandists and co-conspirators even bolder and a bit more reckless. Not even bothering to cover their tracks. The will to fight using the truth is encouraging. It’s really our only hope.
Please sue somewhere there is an honest judge. And an honest Appellate Circuit.
That leaves out DC, for sure. There may be one or two honest judges in Florida? Somewhere out of the juror cesspool of miami. (west coast, panhandle region? ) The slander was propagated in Florida, which has factual connection to the slander.
Florida is in the 11th Circuit, supervised by Justice Thomas, who is an honest Justice. Republican-appointed judges are in the majority in the 11th circuit (but that doesn’t mean they are honest (see Chief Justice Robert’s strange decisions)
CBS carried the Okra Winfrey interview with commie Prince Harry/Meghan Markle. CBS showed multiple headlines from various outlets of British media, to prove how racist they were to Markle.
No surprise, CBS intentionally changed the headlines on the articles to make it look like British media is racist to Markle. CBS outright lied. Just as they did with DeSantis.
The British people were outraged and one British station, ITV, demanded CBS apologize and show the true headlines from British media regarding Markle and apologize. CBS told the British……screw you.
I hope DeSantis is successful in getting CBS.
Arrogant ? commies.
I want to MOVE to FLORIDA
Luv Gov De Santis
The MSM Whores Of The CCP are the enemies of Liberty and it’s time they be held accountable for the evil vomit they spew day in day out.Turn them off, cut the cable,dont buy what they sell. Break them financially. WE have all the power.Don’t feed Lucifer’s Children.
Been bitten one too many times trusting the honeyed words of supposed conservative politicians. Will never blindly or wholeheartedly trust another one again.
That said, I remain impressed by the willingness of Governor Desantis to take a stand and do wholeheartedly wish he was still my governor.
If he remains steadfast, I would love to vote for him in the future. I hope he does, but he will be put through all manner of hell in the months to come. It’s clear the establishment despises him and will be out for blood.
.
He called what they did “horse manure”. That’s not too honeyed. 🙂
We’ve discussed this before…. BUT keep the sound off and watch the mannerisms.
.
Hang around Donald J Trump long enough, and you end up picking upon his movements and mannerisms. DeSantis is exactly like Trump with the way he communicates.
Yes! I thought the same thing.
That’s wild.
Thank you SD for the observation.
Bigly!
I noticed it too. Put a smile on my face.
DeSantis should executive order a permanent chyron for every CBS station with a signal in Florida that says “known to publish false and misleading information” and require it to take up 1/3 of the screen similar to FB and Twit posts.
I’m glad he’s fighting back, but I still don’t get why he thinks the vaccines are a good thing. Supposedly there are a lot of bad reactions published on the VAERS site, a reporting place for doctors who have noticed adverse effects from vaccines. I tried and tried, but I couldn’t get the info to show up. They make it very complicated to extract the data.
.
I suspect it’s one of those things where he has little practicable choice. Trump too, in doing Operation Warp Speed. Florida has the oldest and largest retirement population in the country, and also is roughly half Democrat. Here in South Florida, I have talked to many retired people, and I can recall only one who said she was not getting “the vaccine”. That unfortunately includes many older Republicans.
Maybe he can ban CBS from his State.
Guys that’s how you do it you punch back harder than them and take the fight to the enemy.
Yey. Bring that lawsuit. That’s all these idiots understand
DeSantis Best Governor and smart,
Go get em fake news CBS,
