A group of alleged counterfeiters was just grabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York City. It was a group that's believed to have been around for years, operating out of Chinatown.Meanwhile, a new lawsuit is targeting what's being described as AI defamation targeting conservatives—and it's being brought by filmmaker Robby Starbuck against Google.We'll discuss these topics and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

"The NOW CDs, as they are often called, started in the UK in 1998 with Richard Branson. They were a hit out of the gate, each crafted to a specific formula. They are a professionally made mix tape. We have the full history and a good bit of trivia about the series."

Two fronts opened against Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown over her Epstein reporting and book. First, multiple defamation suits were filed by people portrayed in her work: Epstein survivors Courtney Wild and Haley Robson alleged Brown misrepresented their experiences and, in Robson's case, cast her as a collaborator rather than a victim; and Ghislaine Maxwell's former assistant Emmy Tayler filed her own defamation action over claims that she “organized” Epstein's massages. The Tayler matter proved especially damaging to Brown's publisher: HarperCollins issued a formal apology in 2024 acknowledging Tayler was defamed in the UK edition and wrongly inserted into the narrative—an extraordinary concession that undercut the book's editorial due diligence and handed ammunition to critics who said Brown's project sometimes sacrificed precision for impact.Second, Brown became embroiled in a contractual fight with private investigator Michael (Mike) Fisten, who said he'd been cut out of a promised collaboration and sued for compensation tied to the book deal. That dispute showcased the commercial tug-of-war behind high-profile “accountability” bestsellers: Fisten's early winless turn in arbitration (rejecting his $350k claim) didn't end the saga, which spilled into Miami-Dade court and later reached Florida's Third District Court of Appeal. The upshot is a messy, credibility-draining litigation trail: while Brown's reporting helped reignite scrutiny of Epstein, the courtroom aftermath—defamation claims from survivors, a publisher's apology to Tayler, and a protracted fight with a key investigator—has raised uncomfortable questions about methods, attribution, and whether the rush to own the narrative came at the expense of accuracy and fair dealing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

"Cryptozoology is the study of a creature that probably doesn ot exist. Think Bigfoot. What is great about it is that every state seems to have its own monster.

Larry Sanger is the co-founder of Wikipedia and coined the name “Wikipedia' in 2001. He established many of Wikipedia's founding policies, including the original neutrality guidelines, before he left in 2002.Since then, he has become a vocal critic of Wikipedia's growing ideological bias, particularly on politically charged issues.Sanger says certain outlets are favored as sources while others are blacklisted, creating systemic distortion and exclusion of dissenting views.Most of Wikipedia's top editors are anonymous, which means that people have no legal recourse for lies or inaccuracies about them that may be published on Wikipedia's pages.In this episode, Sanger breaks down what went wrong with Wikipedia and how it can be reformed.Sanger has put forward nine theses for reform, including enabling competing articles, restoring original neutrality policies, convening an editorial assembly, and creating transparent rating systems for entries.But what is the likelihood it will happen? Can—and should—Congress do something about it? And could Elon Musk's Grokipedia offer a more balanced alternative?Editor's Note: The Wikimedia Foundation did not immediately respond to our request for comment.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports artist Drake has lost a legal battle.

Drake just lost his defamation case against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us,” with a federal judge ruling the lyrics were protected opinion, not fact. Drake had claimed UMG wrongfully released and promoted the diss track, which accused him of being a pedophile — allegations he said were false and damaging. The court, however, determined that diss tracks aren't taken literally by the public, and UMG celebrated the dismissal, calling the lawsuit “an affront to artistic expression.” Hosts: Jason Beckerman & Derek Kaufman Learn more about your ad choices.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dug deep into four headline-making stories: Kim Kardashian has launched a defamation lawsuit against Ray J over his assertions that she and Kris Jenner are under federal investigation for racketeering—a claim her team strongly denies and calls entirely baseless. Meanwhile, media mogul Cathy Hughes celebrated 45 years of building Urban One from her radio-station roots into a powerhouse reaching over 80% of Black households. In a lighter, yet equally compelling segment, legendary producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis joined the show to reflect on their multi-decade careers shaping R&B and pop, teasing projects and sharing studio stories most fans haven’t heard. And on the national front, President Trump has formally declared a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels, justifying recent lethal strikes on alleged narco-vessels in the Caribbean under the law of armed conflict.

New protections for businesses against defamation claims aren't good enough, according to business owners.The Defamation Bill 2024, which is due before the Seanad today, does not go far enough to protect businesses, they claim, and they have called for certain amendments.Joining Andrea to discuss is Tara Buckley. Retail Grocers Trade Association Director General, Ronan Lupton, Senior Counsel and Specialist in Media Law, as well as business owners.

Members of the Seanad are being warned that they must amend the Defamation Bill coming before them this week, as the legislation in its present form won't do enough to protect small businesses from “vexatious” defamation claims. That is the view of the Alliance for Insurance Reform, which says a large volume of these claims affect local retailers, corner shops, and businesses in the tourism and hospitality sectors. ISME – the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association – is also warning Senators that they have a “last chance” to reform defamation law. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Brian Hanley, CEO Alliance for Insurance Reform and Crystel Robbins Rynne, HR Locker CEO. Picture (c) Oireachtas.ie

In a four-page court order that is one for the ages, Judge Steven Merryday "struck" for the record Donald Trump's complaint that he filed in his absurd $15 billion defamation suit against The New York Times.Judge Merryday, appointed to the federal bench by President George H.W. Bush. eviscerates Trump's legal filing, saying it does not comport with the Rules of Civil Procedure.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports President Trump files a $15B defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: The administration may have accused Venezuelan cartels of bringing fentanyl into the United States, but the New York Times has reported that Venezuela plays essentially no role in the fentanyl trade. The story does return to the fact that there is no legal basis for these killings, but it mostly slides past the fact that the extralegal basis doesn't hold up either. Mostly though, the question is when an unrepentant killer racks up new victims, does that make the overall story smaller or bigger? Is the Times here to tell us the story of an out-of-control killing spree or the story of business as usual? Please visit, read, and support INDIGNITY! https://www.indignity.net/
