Rightwing US website that spreads election conspiracies declares bankruptcy
Gateway Pundit, run by Jim Hoft, is being sued for defamation by Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss and others
Funny how fast divisive far right sites are dropping now that the Russian money pipeline is shut down due to sanctions.
Russia has cut back to only funding republican congressmen. Austerity is a bitch.
Sanctions haven't done shit to the Russian economy.
lol @ “lawfare”. Is that some new snowflake term for “consequences”?
It's a real thing, Trump's prosecution just ain't it
"We accused specific private individuals of serious crimes without evidence and now they are suing us! This is persecution!"
Happy for them, I wish them many more bankruptcies in the future
Apparently they said they weren't broke, that it was fake news and everyone saying they declared bankruptcy was a filthy liberal.
LoL, not broke, just don't want to appear to be too wealthy when those defamation lawsuits start calling.
Good. Gateway Pundit is a name I recognize well from all the shenanigans that happened a few years ago. May they rot.
Couldnt’a happened to a nicer hovel-ship of wild-eyed spit-frothed tin-foil-hatted hate-sowing conspiracist shit gibbons…. May all memory of their molding entrails fuse with Andrew Breitbart’s in the subterranean oubliette of America’s spastic attention span.
in the subterranean oubliette of America’s spastic attention span.
Well thats some mighty fine cursifyin’.
Mighty fine.
Oh yeah, they felt that, I reckon, and they'll keep feelin it too. Not often you encounter such distinguished swearers out in the wild west. Now if you'll 'scuse me, I got myself a tense shootout unfolding like a poker game over here, hope you don't mind.
Damn fox news went bankrupt?
Idiots who go broke failing to scam other idiots are the biggest idiots of all.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Gateway Pundit, a rightwing website known for spreading election conspiracies, will declare bankruptcy as it faces lawsuits for defamation.
The site’s parent company, TGP Communications, will file for bankruptcy in Florida “as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet”, founder Jim Hoft wrote on the website.
In a separate case, Freeman and Moss secured a $148m judgment against Rudy Giuliani for spreading election lies about them and defaming them.
Gateway Pundit also faces a suit in Colorado from a former Dominion Voting Systems employee, Eric Coomer, who alleges the outlet defamed him by claiming he rigged the election against Trump.
Election offices have faced waves of harassing messages after Gateway Pundit stories have published, often targeting staff members with threatening and abusive language.
Hoft said that the company seeking bankruptcy protection was “not an admission of fault or culpability”, but instead a way to reorganize and consolidate lawsuits “when attacks are coming from all sides”.

Everybody in this thread is talking like this is a good thing, but it's really just a scam to try to weasel out of paying for their defamation.
They forgot to sell "anti-woke" toxins to put in and on your body along with merchandise to advertise what a moronic and shitty person you are.
Russia having to spend money on their war?
Sanctions
Womps and Preyers🙏
Go woke go broke?
Of course! All of this was astroturfed by wealthy benefactors who only kept dumping money for the purpose of getting policy out of it.
OH NO So what's a good way to cook edamame for people who aren't used to eating it?
I steam mine with shank of oligarch. *Chefs kiss
Awwww… anyway.
