@shepgo I guess that's a cute line but, we're just going to let Media Matters get away with misleading the public?
We don't actually care about it?
@Jamesboswell that's a convoluted theory when the alternative is that Media Matters is simply guilty of yet another sensationalized story, just as the legal filings lay out.
@Jamesboswell well no because that's not what's being alleged here. They don't question whether MM found such an ad. In fact they flat out said the outfit did.
The complaint is that MM intentionally set up accounts that were abnormal, that put fingers on the scales, and then reported as if their results were normal, misleading the public.
It's like going to a restaurant and asking for some bizarre addition to your meal, over the chef's objections, and then putting out a review acting like that's just the way the meal always came.
@volkris @shepgo well, surely MM can win that case by producing a single ad appearing next to hate speech... I doubt that would be too challenging given the incredible amount of hate speech on there
