Podcast appearances and mentions of ronnell andersen jones

Trunp and Musk have put Democrats on tilt using their own tactics against them. Trump is using the legal system to shut down the real misinformation experts, aka the media. And Musk is taking the tech approach, and actually using GROK to read the bills, and call legislators out. DC is in freefall and even their backup policy working.[SEGMENT 1-1] Lies exposed 1 – Trump lawsuit   RINOs and other Leftists are getting the warning and I think Hegseth will be Secretary of Defense. I think Trump will get all his appointees at this point, and Democrats will have to be happy with their one skin, Matt Gaetz.   Stephanopoulos deleted his X account after the big fine. He's been incommunicado for a few days… Leftist media are afraid of the ramifications of Trump's victory against ABC [X] SB – MSNBC Symone Sanders on Trump defamation lawsuit Sanders-Townsend said that in her estimation, language from Stephanopoulos that Trump had been found liable for the rape of E. Jean Carroll appeared to her to be factually accurate. This is why I say that Trump can't let any of these lies go. We discussed the pre-emptive pardons, and why those are even being discussed. The answer is simple: TO COVER UP LEFTIST LIES. And these are not little lies. They are huge, with implications in every area of our lives. What bothers me most are how easy Leftists lie, and the FREQUENCY. We learned more news surrounding Fani Willis targeting Trump, as Nathan Wade admits to working with the White House to get Trump on bogus RICO charges surrounding—you guessed it—January 6. Ask yourself what happens if January 6 is exposed for what it really was. What happens if the public were to wake up in the next instant and realize with certainty what we know happened: that Democrats orchestrated the events, with the help of many agencies within the DOJ. That over 1000 American citizens were wrongly arrested, as part of a coverup for the coup of 2020. Well, that's what happened. And that's not a little lie. Because it not only affected 1000-plus people directly, it affected the psyche of the nation.  [SEGMENT 2-2] Lies exposed 2 – Healthcare [X] SB – John Kerry in 2009 about melting ice cap As did the lies of covid. A generation of people in America know real oppression now. They have felt tyranny and accepted it. Our spirit was weakened, and that's the real tragedy. But let's not forget the millions of people who were negatively impacted by the handling of covid; those who died because of the protocols. And the fact that our government put a bounty on covid deaths. Outrageous. Of course, we have all the vaccine deaths and vaccine-injured. The government protected the pharmaceutical giants, rewarded them to produce what amounts to a toxin, and then tried its best to force Americans to take it. And since with scamdemic, what have we learned? From our very own CDC we've learned that none of the information regarding covid was correct. The death rates were smoke-screens, the vaccine and boosters were not effective at all. And perhaps most heinous, the cures for the disease was already in existence, i.e. HCL and ivermectin, protocols that were ridiculed in the press and by the so-called experts. I'm doing a show that is dedicated to covid where I will go into more detail about these lies. Pfizer and Moderna shield from covid lawsuits through 2029… Peter Hotez Sends Ominous Message Ahead of RFK Jr.'s Takeover of HHS Hotez, who declined a $2.6 million offer to debate RFK Jr. on vaccine science, told CNN's John Berman that polio, mumps, rubella, and other diseases could “come back” if vaccination rates fall.   https://x.com/liz_churchill10/status/1868056727524147456 Speaking of health, how's Obamacare working for you?   NOBODY'S presidency aged worse than Obama's. His signature achievement was called the Affordable Care Act and prices have gotten so high since it passed that his own party is now on board with shooting healthcare CEO'S. What a disaster. gotta love it when the MSM who praised Obamacare begin to notice its a pile of shit producing wildly overpriced healthcare $UNH stock up 2,400% since Obamacare passed ( 24% annually ) is your proof what a disaster Obamacare has been for working Americans  [SEGMENT 2-3] Lies exposed 3 - Obamacare I will be bringing on the co-founder of BiOptimzers. What he tells you will shock you. You won't want to miss this, and I guarantee you will buy it afterwards. I've told you about my personal results, but wait until you meet Wade. We are discussing the LIES told by the Left. Our government lies to us, and lobbyist get corporate America to lie to us. And healthcare is one of these lies. Obamacare was to save us all. $UNH stock up 2,400% since Obamacare passed ( 24% annually ) is your proof what a disaster Obamacare has been for working Americans When the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010, UnitedHealth Group's stock was valued at approximately $29.24. As of December 13, 2024, the stock value is around $520.48. This represents a substantial increase over the years. To give you a clearer picture:2010 stock value: $29.242024 stock value: $520.48That's an increase of over 1,600%!   [X] SB – Former Democrat on Obamacare   To everyone old enough to remember how much their insurance used to cost when your parents stopped paying for it... Obamacare took your insurance premium, multiplied it by (at least) 5, added a whole lot more government red tape, and handed you a gift wrapped turd. Let me stop here to drop a thought. The government allowed the Chinese to produce a manmade virus and introduce it into America to scare most of us into allowing tyranny in the form of mask mandates and lockdowns. Our government knew the “cure” was worse than the disease. They gave us Obamacare, which raised the cost of healthcare so high, most people couldn't afford to use it, and made it impossible to sue the pharma companies for getting us sicker with vaccines and boosters. Talk about a lose-lose situation. And did you get this news? The American Heart Association was paid by Procter & Gambe to say that heart disease was caused by saturated fats. So we stopped eating butter, meat, and eggs, etc. What do you think the prevailing wisdom is about eating the things that come natural, gifts from God?  [SEGMENT 2-4] Lies exposed 4 – Media   [X] SB – Biden says his campaign was scandal-free [X] SB – Dana Perino on Nathan Wade [X] SB – Biden WH downplays drones   Is it any wonder Trump is suing the media. Finally. Remember the white kid who sued and won the settlement after he was confronted by the Indian guy at a rally, and the media painted him as a villain. Remember how the Left allowed Dominion to sue, and win cases? NPR wrote about this, and it was meant to be a warning to Conservatives. Stop talking about election cheating or suffer the consequences. https://www.npr.org/2023/04/19/1170673893/there-are-even-more-2020-election-defamation-suits-beyond-the-fox-dominion-case [START] Legal experts say the very steep challenge of proving someone lied about things they knew or should have known were false has made defamation cases quite rare. But the huge surge of false narratives about the 2020 election has brought a wave of credible cases for the courts to weigh. Together, they could have a lasting impact by building a body of case law to enforce serious consequences for harassing or lying about elections and the people who keep them running smoothly, says RonNell Andersen Jones, a media law professor and former journalist at the University of Utah. "What we might see is that the collective whole makes a difference in a way that individual suits cannot," Andersen Jones says. "It's only in this new era of the apparent deliberate creation of known lies for politics or profit that we get some cases that put us in a place where the evidence body is deep enough and broad enough that these cases have a chance of succeeding."

Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor died Friday at the age of 93. Amicus host Dahlia Lithwick is joined by former O'Connor clerk and renowned First Amendment scholar RonNell Andersen Jones to talk about the Justice's trailblazing career, her judicial philosophy, and the combination of humility and strength that marked her time on the court, and away from it.  Later in the show, Dahlia celebrates the joyous return of Mark Joseph Stern to share some big announcements AND to discuss SEC v Jarkesy.

Libel laws and the First Amendment in the United States are meant to hit a sweet spot — protecting reputations and facts while also affording journalists the freedom to publish unflattering information about powerful people that the public needs to know. But disinformation is increasingly threatening that balance.In this episode, law professor RonNell Andersen Jones explains what could be at risk. “If it's too easy for somebody to sue for defamation over a falsehood, then powerful people will hold that over everybody's head and threaten to sue their critics and will silence a lot of conversation that we ought to be having," she said.Jones is a Distinguished Professor and Teitelbaum Chair in Law at the University of Utah and an Affiliated Fellow at Yale Law School's Information Society Project. A former newspaper reporter and editor, Jones is a First Amendment scholar who now teaches, researches and writes on legal issues affecting the press and on the intersection between media and the courts.Listen to the conversation to learn more.Additional Reading:The "Actual Malice" Standard Explained, Protect DemocracySupreme Court Puts First Amendment Limits on Laws Banning Online Threats, The New York TimesThe Multibillion Dollar Defamation Lawsuits Against Fox News, Explained, VoxDominion CEO Predicts 'Business Ultimately Goes to Zero' Because of 2020 Election Lies, TIME.comIs that a fact? is a production of the News Literacy Project, a nonpartisan education nonprofit building a national movement to create a more news-literate America.

Dozens of incriminating texts and email chains between leadership and top anchors at Fox News were revealed this week as part of the defamation lawsuit Dominion Voting Systems brought against the news station. The filings show that Fox hosts and executives knew former President Donald Trump had lost the 2020 election and that claims of voter fraud were false. But they promoted this narrative on-air because it was what their audience wanted and it was good for ratings. This is a rare case because of the implications it could have on the journalism world. Prior to this, the Supreme Court's 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan ruling established a high baseline to win libel and defamation cases. They said the prosecution has to show that the news station or journalist deliberately made false statements with a reckless disregard for the truth. Or actual malice.  The scope of Dominion's lawsuit shows that Fox News kept repeating conspiracies they knew were false over an extended period of time. But was it actual malice?  Host David Greene discusses with Mo Elleithee, executive director of Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service, and Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch. And special guest RonNell Andersen Jones, professor of law at the University of Utah and an affiliated fellow at the Yale Law School Information Society Project, weighs in on the arguments from both sides.  Plus, a middle school girl in Lewisville, Texas, was punished for how she processed her fear of a potential school shooting. She heard a classmate say, “Don't come to school tomorrow,” and texted her friends out of concern. Twenty minutes later, she told her mother.  When school officials looked into the situation, they determined there were no threats to the school. But they also decided that the student who texted her friends made false accusations about school safety. They punished her with a three-day suspension, and said she would finish eighth grade at an alternative disciplinary school. Though that punishment was later scaled back.  Was this a rumor or just a frightened teenager? And, in an era where school shootings have become more common, how should students and school officials handle moments like this? Special guests Talia Richman, staff writer at the Dallas Morning News, discusses her recent article about the incident, “How a Texas girl scared of school shootings was punished,” alongside Lisa Youngblood, the student's mother.

Barbara Lee, Mary McCord, Michael Steele, Oren Segal, David Folkenflik, RonNell Andersen Jones, Tia Mitchell, Eddie Glaude, Melissa Murray, Ryan Nobles, and Masih Alinejad 

Thanks to the Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News filing, we now know what we've always believed is true: Fox News will do or say anything to retain their power, even if it means lying—over and over and over again—to their viewers. The question is: Will they finally be held accountable this time? We're joined by RonNell Andersen Jones, professor of law at the University of Utah, for a lively discussion about defamation law (really!) and the possibility that Fox News might actually have to face the music. Writers Jay Jurden and Robby Slowik are also here to talk about the larger media implications of this case and what it has in common with The White Lotus.Season 2 is now streaming on Apple TV+.CREDITS

If you loaded up the internet or turned on the television somewhere in the United States over the last two months, it's been impossible to avoid news coverage of the defamation trial of actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard—both of whom sued each other over a dispute relating to allegations by Heard of domestic abuse by Depp. In early June, a Virginia jury found that both had defamed the other. The litigation has received a great deal of coverage for what it might say about the fate of the Me Too movement—but the flood of falsehoods online around the trial raises questions about how useful defamation law can really be in countering lies. This week on Arbiters of Truth, our series on the online information ecosystem, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with RonNell Andersen Jones, the Lee E. Teitelbaum Professor of Law at the University of Utah College of Law and an expert on the First Amendment and the interaction between the press and the courts. Along with Lyrissa Lidsky, she's written about defamation law, disinformation, and the Depp-Heard litigation. They talked about why some commentators think defamation could be a useful route to counter falsehoods, why RonNell thinks the celebrity litigation undercuts that argument, and the few cases in which claims of libel or slander really could have an impact in limiting the spread of lies.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

The landmark 1964 Supreme Court decision New York Times Company v. Sullivan shaped libel and defamation law and established constitutional principles that still govern the scope of press protections in America today. The “actual malice” standard established in the decision requires a public official suing for defamation to prove that the newspaper published a false statement “with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.” This made it harder for news publications to be sued for libel; yet it also made it more difficult for those defamed to seek redress. Recently, Supreme Court Justices Gorsuch and Thomas in separate opinions have each called for Sullivan to be revisited. Host Jeffrey Rosen moderated a debate over the importance of the Sullivan case and whether or not it should be reconsidered—featuring experts RonNell Andersen Jones, professor of law at the University of Utah and an Affiliated Fellow at Yale Law School's Information Society Project, and David A. Logan, professor of law and former dean at Roger Williams University and author of an article cited by Justice Gorsuch in his opinion questioning Sullivan.

Justice Clarence Thomas, the longest-serving Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, has in recent years expressed idiosyncratic views on some key First Amendment issues. He has gained particular attention for staking out bold new positions on the free-speech treatment of both the press and social media. Justice Thomas urged, in one instance, that the Court reconsider the watershed media-law case of New York Times v. Sullivan, which interprets the First Amendment to make it difficult for public officials to bring libel suits and suggested, in another, that the Court should adjust its constitutional free-speech approach to take into account potential censorship within the highly concentrated, privately owned information infrastructure of digital platforms. In this webinar, media law experts RonNell Andersen Jones and Jeffrey Hunt explore the contours of Justice Thomas's views, considering their origins, their place within the Justice's wider jurisprudence, and their likelihood of gaining traction with the fuller Court.

For the past three years, All The Presidents’ Lawyers has focused a lot on defamation cases, and there’s an obvious reason for that: former President Trump has been (and still is) the target of defamation cases and he has also invoked or actually used defamation suits as strategy for years. Remember when Stormy Daniels sued former President Trump, saying he defamed her by calling her accusation that she threatened in a Las Vegas parking lot not to talk about her affair with him a “con job”? Her argument did not hold up in court. Trump’s statement was protected opinion and not a provable statement of fact, and Daniels was ordered to pay his legal fees. Defamation lawsuits are difficult to win by design: balancing free speech and the need for remedies for damaged reputations is a challenge. But as the years went on, stakes in defamation suits got a lot higher than they were with the “con job” tweet. Dominion Voting Systems has filed many lawsuits against parties, including Fox News, seeking billions of dollars in damages. They say these media companies and individuals aired wild claims about the voting machine company and these allegations seriously damaged its business interests. But even its defamation suits aren’t a slam dunk. Special guest RonNell Andersen Jones, an expert in First Amendment, media and defamation law talks with Josh Barro (Ken White is taking this week off the show) about the history of defamation law in the United States, current challenges and scholarship, if defamation suits are just the cost of doing business for media organizations, and more.

"The First Amendment, like all of the U.S. Constitution, applies only to government. It's a set of rules about what government can do to its citizens," says RonNell Andersen-Jones, professor of law at the University of Utah.Want to support 1A?

We talk about the Supreme Court with writer and reporter, Dahlia Lithwick. How should one report on the Court, at a time when analysis of opinions is expected within hours or even minutes? What is the role of the Court press: middle men, translators, or something else? And come to think of it, what’s the role of the Supreme Court? Oracles, politicians, teachers? Should judges give speeches like politicians do? Politics, policy, religion, guns. And, of course, speed traps.
