Writing on the wall and settled for a historic sum. Because it was a historic breach of trust on the part of a main stream media outlet. One of the best cases on record of the subjects of Trumpistan being exactly what they rail against - the best case of fake news in American history.

The evidence could not be denied in court, so all you have is your tired old partisan assaults on the institution which didn’t find what you want, or the media outlet that didn’t report what you want, which is exactly how aspiring autocrats roll. It’s as predictable as the sunrise - anything that doesn’t go your political way is a result of some institution of democracy which is out to “get” you.

Delusional paranoia is a pandemic in the fantasy kingdom of Trumpistan.
