Listen Later

SLANDERTOWN is a podcast that dives into First Amendment slugfests. No beef too small, no lawsuit too petty.

EPISODE 4: Dan and Ari discuss two lawsuits against the news media that are trending in opposite directions: Dominion Voting Systems v Fox News and Nicholas Sandmann (aka the MAGA Hat Kid) vs everybody else. Tanvi is on vacation. 

Guests

Eriq Gardner (@eriqgardner) of Puck News drops by to discuss his article, "Inside Lachlan & Rupert’s Defamation Endgame" (https://puck.news/inside-lachlan-ruperts-defamation-endgame/) and the Sandmann case.
