LMAO, you mean the infamous convicted felon and right wing propagandist Dinesh D’Souza got busted again for his constant grifting?? Say it ain’t so!
Came here to say this, but it’s important to note what D’Souza was convicted for…
FRAUD:
Hmm… I don’t seem to know what you mean. He was FALSELY convicted as evidenced by his PARDON!!! INNOCENT!!!111
According to a court filing in a related case, Salem settled the lawsuit brought by Andrews for an undisclosed “significant” amount.
And likely this public apology. They didn’t just suddenly grow a conscience, they settled a lawsuit.
Ah, this will assuredly convince the conspiracy crowd to cease trusting grifters with their time, money, and mind space. …Right?

You would think, but… Trump campaign says it raised $52.8 million after guilty verdict in fundraising blitz
I’m starting to think these conspiracy theorists aren’t quite as clairvoyant as they say they are.
I think it was Will Summers who stated that, “Qanon begins with a hospital bill you can’t ever pay.”
We can mock them for their stupidity, but when stupid people are facing trauma like bankruptcy or divorce, or a child’s death, etc., conspiracy theory communities are the easiest to find. They’re on the radio, the television, the Facebook and the YouTube.
Its even a wise decision for a stupid person to join a community willing to accept their reality over the ones who both point out their stupidity, even if we are the path most likely to actually help them solve their traumas.
I’m wondering if this is a measurable case (in actual dollars) of the backfire effect:

In other words, these people have learned that their golden emperor-king is, in fact, a felon. This is then filtered through their extreme biases and then out pops: “I must help fund him”.
Seems reasonable to me, actually, but it sort of brings a sense of doom to think we (humanity) or eve just they (magas) are that far gone.
Apologize with your wallet you evil prigs.
Salem wrote, “It was never our intent that the publication of the ‘2000 Mules’ film and book would harm Mr. Andrews.
Maybe it wasn’t their intent but they sure as shit didn’t care if it happened.
It was definitely their intent lol
It was totally their intent. I mean, look at the lie they still insist on spreading.
Bunch o’ liars.
This is hilarious! Get fucked.
Separately, Salem is also suing its insurer for allegedly failing to cover the costs stemming from Andrews’ lawsuit.
Denying insurance since it was a grift. This is huge news and I’m surprised media isn’t all over it. What better way to discourage fraud than to show people they will be personally or professionally liable.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a statement posted to their website, Salem Media Group, Inc. apologized specifically to Mark Andrews, a voter from Georgia falsely depicted illegally voting in “2,000 Mules.”
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation cleared Andrews of wrongdoing, and found he was legally dropping off ballots for members of his family.
Andrews filed a defamation lawsuit against Salem, as well as the team behind the movie: right wing commentator Dinesh D’Souza, and the group True the Vote.
Though “2,000 Mules” has been widely debunked by law enforcement officials and the media, including NPR, the film and book developed a widespread following among supporters of the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
“They worry that again they will be baselessly accused of election crimes, and that believers in the ‘mules’ theory may recognize and seek reprisal against them, and that they may face physical harm,” the lawsuit alleged.
According to a court filing in a related case, Salem settled the lawsuit brought by Andrews for an undisclosed “significant” amount.
The original article contains 514 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 67%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Nothing makes me happier than seeing dinesh get sued into oblivion that fucking moron felon
Can this felon just go to prison?
By the way, I am pretty sure my account had a timeout for calling him “D’Felon” on Denver Post. At the very minimum, the post was removed. Meanwhile, there were at least a few accounts where they’d invariably work themselves up to making threats of violence against other posters and fellow citizens they disagreed with (their worst posts would eventually get taken down, but properly labeling D’Souza a felon is not morally equivalent to advocating violence). This, on the website of a newspaper of this so-called “liberal media” I keep hearing so much about…
When you’re a conspiricist this means nothing. So the “bad guys” legally forced you to retract and apologize? Big surprise.
I hate how unredeemable their position is. These are fellow humans, I don’t want to give up on them!
I suggest you do give up on them.
