American Thinker's Conservative and Principled Reponse to Letter from Dominion Voting Systems

[essentialsaltes]

These statements [we made about Dominion] are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims.

It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees. We also apologize to our readers for abandoning 9 journalistic principles and misrepresenting Dominion’s track record and its limited role in tabulating votes for the November 2020 election. We regret this grave error.

I saw your post and thought, "wow, their lawyers must have got to them." Then I read the article:

We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why...

lololol

American Thinker has always been a pile of hyberbolic trash. I hope Dominion's lawyers sue them into oblivion.

I wonder if they’ll send Trump a letter when he gets out of office.

We can only hope.

In spite of the apology, American Thinker makes no attempt to explain why it abandoned "9 journalistic principles" and published material which was "completely false and (have) no basis in fact".

Given the lack of explanation we can only assume it was an intentional attempt to wrongly characterise Dominion and the election as fraudulent. A mistake is one thing - intentional misrepresentation is another. In spite of the 'apology', legal action to obtain punitive damages is entirely appropriate.
