Melania Trump Wins Defamation Case Against Daily Mail over model claims

A WARNING TO THE MSM, BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR FAKE NEWS YOU SPEW …

As reported at Sky News, First lady Melania Trump has accepted damages and an apology over allegations stemming from a Daily Mail article previously published in the newspaper that “included false and defamatory claims” about her work as a model. The amount of damages was not disclosed in court, although it is estimated that the total payment of damages and costs is believed to come to less than $3m (£2.4m).

Melania Trump has accepted damages and an apology over allegations about her work as a professional model.

The action was against Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Daily Mail, after it ran an article headlined “Racy photos and troubling questions about his wife’s past that could derail Trump”.

The amount of damages was not disclosed in court, although Sky News understands the total payment of damages and costs is believed to come to less than $3m (£2.4m).

The article published in the newspaper and on Mail Online last August “included false and defamatory claims” about the First Lady “which questioned the nature of her work as a professional model, and republished allegations that she provided services beyond simply modelling”, the court heard.

The piece referred to rumors that a modelling agency Mrs Trump worked for in Milan was “something of a gentleman’s club” and another in New York “operated as an escort agency for wealthy clients”.

Her lawyer John Kelly said the story included statements that Mrs Trump denied the allegations and that Paulo Zampolli, who ran the modelling agency, also denied the claims.

The article, he said, also said there was no evidence to support the allegations.

CNN … Very Fake News: Juan Williams Rips CNN Report Claiming Sean Hannity Pulled Gun on Him After Argument … (Update Williams: This incident is being sensationalized)

CNN REALLY IS VERY FAKE NEWS AND VERY DESPERATE …

It has come to the point now that CNN is no better than MSNBC. CNN has become nothing more than “very fake news”. Witness the story below via Breitbart and the yellow journalism and compete sensationalizing of a story that has no news value and was only done in an effort to smear some one on the right and cause trouble, where there was none. In the end, even Juan William was calling the CNN hit piece bovine scatology. These people have no shame. If that actually did some investigative journalism and got away from their bias liberal agenda, maybe they might become respected again. Until then …

The fake news establishment media at CNN is at it again. Now they are attacking Fox News host Sean Hannity, smearing his reputation with a phony story about him allegedly pointing a gun at liberal Fox News contributor Juan Williams.

Dylan Byers, one of the media writers at CNN who works for media industry defender Brian Stelter, printed a story on Thursday alleging: “Last year, after ending one of his many spirited on-air arguments with liberal contributor Juan Williams, Hannity pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at Williams.” Byers cited “three sources with knowledge of the incident” to make the claim.

“He even turned on the laser sight, causing a red dot to bob around on Williams’ body,” Byers wrote, adding in parentheses: “Hannity was just showing off, the sources said, but the unforeseen off-camera antic clearly disturbed Williams and others on set.”

Byers added in the next paragraph that the alleged incident was investigated, and it was determined nothing bad happened.

“For the record: Hannity’s colleagues brought the Williams incident to the attention of Fox News executives, though it’s not clear whether anything came of it,” Byers wrote. “The sources said it went to Bill Shine, the network’s co-president and longtime Fox News executive, who is Hannity’s longtime friend and a former producer. A Fox News spokesperson said the incident was referred to the legal and human resources departments.”

Juan Williams defended his friend Sena Hannity and stated the story was a big nothingburger and being sensationalized. But this is what the liberal media does. They make something out of nothing and then try to make the false reporting an actual news story.

“This incident is being sensationalized — everything was under total control throughout and I never felt like I was put in harm’s way,” Williams said, according to the CNN report. “It was clear that Sean put my safety and security above all else and we continue to be great friends.”

President Donald Trump at CPAC 2017 … “I want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news. It’s fake, phony, fake.” (VIDEO)

TRUMP ATTACKS MSM … ‘THEY’LL SAY HE NEVER GOT A STANDING OVATION”…

President Donald Trump spoke today at CPAC 2017 much to the thrill and enjoyment of those in attendance. President Trump began his speech by calling out the MSM and their fake news by asking the people in the audience to sit down as the media will say that Trump never got a standing ovation from CPAC. Trump added that they will forget to mention that those in attendance never sat down during his speech. ZING!!!

Trump exposed the MSM and their fake news for not even being able to properly report the story where he said that fake news was the enemy of the people. The president stated, he is not against the media, he is against fake new.

I am only against the fake news media or press. I’m against the people that make up stories and make up sources. They shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name. Let their name be put out there. There are some great reporters out there. You have no idea how bad it is. You have a lot of them…the Clinton News Network is one.

Trump said networks like CNN, ABC and CBS use fake polls to discourage voters from voting and to promote their own agenda.

Via The Daily Caller, President Trump blisters the MSM and its fake news.

“Sit down, everybody,” Trump said as he took the stage. “You know the dishonest media, they’ll say, ‘He didn’t get a standing ovation.’ They are the worst.”

“You know my first major speech was at CPAC, probably five or six years ago. My first political speech. I wanted to come last year but I thought at that time I was too controversial.”

“The media didn’t think we would win. The pundits didn’t think we would win. The consultants that suck up all that money, oh they suck it up there so good, but the consultants didn’t think we would win. But they all underestimated the power of the people — you. And the people proved them totally wrong.”

“Never underestimate the people,” he continued. “Never. I don’t think it will ever happen again.”

“I want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news. It’s fake, phony, fake. A few days ago I called the fake news the enemy of the people, and they are. Because they have no sources. They just make it up when there are none. They make up sources. They’re very dishonest people. They did not explain that I called the fake news the enemy of the people. They dropped off the word fake. That’s the way they are. I’m not against the media. I’m not against the press. I don’t mind bad stories, if I deserve them. I love good stories. I don’t get too many of them. I am only against the fake news media or press. I’m against the people that make up stories and make up sources. They shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name. Let their name be put out there. There are some great reporters out there. You have no idea how bad it is. You have a lot of them…the Clinton News Network is one.”

Trump said networks like CNN, ABC and CBS use fake polls to discourage voters from voting and to promote their own agenda.

“It creates a whole false deal, folks,” he said. “And we have to fight it. They get upset when we expose their false stories. They say we can’t criticize their coverage because of the First Amendment. Nobody loves it [the First Amendment] better than me.”

“As you saw, throughout the entire campaign, and even now, the fake news doesn’t tell the truth. So, just in finishing, I say it doesn’t represent the people. It never will represent the people. We have to go out and speak our minds and we have to be honest.”

DONALD TRUMP FULL SPEECH AT CPAC

President Donald Trump Rally in Melbourne, FL – Full Speech (VIDEO) … ‘I want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news.’

DONALD TRUMP GOES STRAIGHT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND BYPASSES THE LIBERAL AGENDA DRIVEN, BIAS MEDIA …

President Donald Trump took his message directly to the American people yesterday at a campaign event in Melbourne, Florida telling a cheering crowd: ‘I want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news.’

I also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. The dishonest media which has published one false story after another with no sources, even though they pretend they have them, they make them up in many cases, they just don’t want to report the truth and they’ve been calling us wrong now for two years. They don’t get it. By they’re starting to get it. I can tell you that. They’ve become a big part of the problem. They are part of the corrupt system. Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln and many of our greatest presidents fought with the media and called them out often times on their lies. When the media lies to people, I will never, ever let them get away with it. I will do whatever I can that. They don’t get away with it.

Full transcript of Trump’s speech.

I also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. The dishonest media which has published one false story after another with no sources, even though they pretend they have them, they make them up in many cases, they just don’t want to report the truth and they’ve been calling us wrong now for two years. They don’t get it. By they’re starting to get it. I can tell you that. They’ve become a big part of the problem. They are part of the corrupt system. Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln and many of our greatest presidents fought with the media and called them out often times on their lies. When the media lies to people, I will never, ever let them get away with it. I will do whatever I can that. They don’t get away with it.

They have their own agenda and their agenda is not your agenda. In fact, Thomas Jefferson said, “nothing can be believed which is seen in a newspaper.” “Truth itself,” he said, “becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle,” that was June 14, my birthday, 1807. But despite all their lies, misrepresentations, and false stories, they could not defeat us in the primaries, and they could not defeat us in the general election, and we will continue to expose them for what they are, and most importantly, we will continue to win, win, win.

We are not going to let the fake news tell us what to do, how to live, or what to believe. We are free and independent people and we will make our own choices.

Poor Chuck Todd and the Whining Fake Establishmemt News Elite … Says Trump’s Delegitimization of Press ‘Un-American,’ ‘Not a Laughing Matter’

NO CHUCK TODD, YOU ARE A LAUGHING MATTER AND A PARTISAN HACK  …

In lockstep with the liberal, establishment  MSM, Chuck Todd voiced his partisan horror at President Donald Trump’s press conference on Thursday. Todd called Trump’s presser “Un-American” and “not a laughing matter”. Actually Mr. Todd and the rest of the MSM, it is you that are a laughing matter, partisan hacks and un-American. It is one thing to question authority, although where the hell were you during the last 8 years of the Obama administration, it is quite another thing to just attack, attack and attack with fake news. The days of the Democrat-media complex getting away with their lies and attacking the right are over. The media has met it’s match.

In a tweet sent during President Donald Trump‘s Thursday press conference, MSNBC host Chuck Todd indicated he didn’t find the bizarre hour-long back-and-forth with reporters all that humorous.

The Meet the Press host live tweeted the spectacle, at times sending tweets that indicated he didn’t believe the president was telling the truth, and that the rambling press conference would damage his relationship with Congress.
