A defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal is headed to trial after a Georgia judge ruled that Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, Chris Hayes and other journalists reported “verifiably false” claims about a doctor they said performed “mass hysterectomies” on ICE center detainees.

MSNBC and NBC journalists are accused of reporting 39 false claims about the doctor they called the “uterus collector” based on a whistleblower account from a nurse named Dawn Wooten who worked at the facility.

“NBC investigated the whistleblower letter’s accusations; that investigation did not corroborate the accusations and even undermined some; NBC republished the letter’s accusations anyway,” Judge Lisa Godbey Wood of the Southern District of Georgia wrote in a 108-page summary in June.

Good! MSM, regardless of which side they pretend to cater to, should be held to the highest ethical standards, and failing that, they should be held to the highest legal standards.

Utterly despicable.
