    Hasan threatens to sue Fox News for labeling him an "anti-semite" "They put it in f'in air quotes..are they like begging for a f'in legal battle..how far can we go until this also becomes a matter of contention in a court..they're aching for a f'in lawsuit" "Btw, since Oct 7, there have been numerous defensive lawsuits against antisemitism allegations, and there are certain districts, which Fox News operates in like New York City, where calling an anti Zionist an antisemite, or calling anybody an antisemite, actually does fall under a workable definition of slander and defamation bc antisemitism carries an additional charge in a place like New York state..this could be a costly legal battle for them" "Idk if u guys want to entertain this..it is actionable, it is prosecutable, it is being prosecuted right now and the ppl that are being falsely slandered as antisemites are winning. So I'd be very careful"

    Calling someone antisemitic in air quotes is definitely defamation in NY but I doubt this ends up in court since Fox will just spin it as protected opinion instead of admitting fault 🤦
