A conservative television network sued Rachel Maddow for more than $10 million on Monday for calling it 'paid Russian propaganda'
SAN DIEGO — A conservative television network sued Rachel Maddow for more than $10 million on Monday for calling it"paid Russian propaganda."The small, family-owned network based in San Diego is challenging Fox News for conservative cable and satellite TV viewers and has received favorable tweets from President Donald Trump.
A week after Herring sent an email to a Comcast executive, Maddow opened her MSNBC show by referring to a report in the Daily Beast that said an OAN employee also worked for Sputnik News, which is linked to the Russian government. "Their on-air U.S. politics reporter is paid by the Russian government to produce propaganda for that government," Maddow said.
The lawsuit includes a statement from Rouz that said he wrote some 1,300 articles over the past 4 ½ years for Sputnik but"I have never written propaganda, disinformation, or unverified information."
