Liberty University sues NY Times for $10 million

Liberty University is suing the NY Times for $10 million for fabricating a story about students getting COVID-19 at school when they re-opened.

The 100-page lawsuit goes after the Times for a “made up” and damaging story that falsely charged that students returning from spring break became infected with the coronavirus because the school stayed open.”

The long-threatened suit stems from a March 29 viral story that suggested several students were infected after returning from spring break. In fact, no student, staffer, or faculty member on campus was, or became, infected.

It wasn’t at all true. A reporter got inaccurate information, a rumor from a doctor, and Liberty told them it wasn’t true. They went with the story anyway. It went viral.

The story was never retracted despite pleas from Liberty. “None of this was true. There was never an on-campus student diagnosed with COVID-19. The only actual ‘viral’ element of this narrative that existed was the intense ‘viral’ internet attention it generated for the New York Times’ website and for those paying to advertise on that website,” said the suit, provided in advance to Secrets.

Liberty is clickbait for liberal readers which is why they like to run negative stories about the university.

They had zero COVID cases.

The dishonest reporter and photographer can never return to the campus without the permission of Rev. Falwell.

The Times has had a bad week after liberal Bari Weiss exposed the terrible environment for anyone who isn’t far-left and is too supportive of Jews.

This is the only language that the leftist news outlets understand, hitting them in their deep state pockets. I do pray that Liberty U wins big.

The only way to stop ths is to hit them in the pocketbook with HUGE fines so even billionaire creeps supporting them have to pause and consider.

And, last Sunday, NY Post writer Michael Goodwin exposed the Times founding family’s support for the Confederacy! Gave big $ for Confederate Statues, and a matriarch buried with that flag.

And how many others in similar circumstance as Liberty U. because of the media.

Pandemic Lockdown:The media’s endless spewing of lies to push for a lockdown, and how many lives and livelihoods ruined and destroyed because of that. (And that continues now for a Second lockdown.)

Hydroxychloroquine: I don’t know how many times I’ve seen the words “lives were lost” in articles that referenced the media’s ‘reporting’, their campaign, against HCQ. for political purposes.

Maybe time for a massive class action lawsuit?
