On January 16, after Judge Randolph Hammock issued a tentative ruling in Leah Remini’s lawsuit against the Church of Scientology, the Courthouse News Service reported that the judge intended to grant parts of Scientology’s anti-SLAPP motions and “trim” Leah’s complaint, but her lawsuit was still “likely to survive.”
Excellent explanation. So carry on with the suit, and win it, and that reverses this "free speech" misstatement of the situation by Scientology.
Scientology always quick to misstate things, and claim free speech victory for their misstatements.
So Leah and her law team need to carry on, win their suit, and state that fact when it is accomplished.
Let Scientology have their free speech rights to misstate and exaggerate things.
Thankyou for parsing this.
It's why I donate monthly to the Underground Bunker and Tony's efforts to dissect all things Scientology.
Tony if I were your agent, I'd advertise you as an Editor/Advisor to other media doing stories on a story by story basis, so as to be their Scientology story editor consultant, and get you paid for that!
You know and understand Scientology like no one alive.
Posts like this make me wonder. How many nonprofits have the words “shudder into silence” among their policies and procedures; refuse to provide meaningful transparency of their financials to donors and the pubic (I’d like to see the line item for Handling Suppression); have no succession plan for leadership; and cannot demonstrate public benefit that outweighs its constant detriment to the communities it inhabits — and still expect to be treated like a benevolent organization?
The CNS used to get great ratings from the Media Bias site including mention of little hyperbole as recently as the May 2023 update. I am sorry to hear that's changing.
1. The reporter's other most recent work for CNS mostly doesn't seem to use sensational titles. So, why this one?
2. Why did they get a comment from CoS's spokesperson and not their lawyers? They said they received no comments from Remini's lawyers (not unusual) but didn't talk to her spokesperson?
It appears the Courthouse News Service reporter who wrote that headline has fallen prey to the same ratings virus that has infected most of the news services. Hyperbole=clicks. It’s no longer reporting the facts with diligent research.
Thank you Tony for the detailed explanation of the current state of Leah’s court case. As usual Scientology lies and Tony gives us the light of truth.
Thanks, Tony. I saw a ‘lawsuit gutted’ headline and decided I was already depressed, so I didn’t even look at it. I so much appreciate your reporting on the true going’s on in this money making scam. I think a lot about what it must be like for the people who were born into it and the ones who have given their lives and money and lived so below their means for something that is so destructive. And I love the new billboard! It’s coming, Davy boy, your day of reckoning, run away quickly. I hope I live to see it.
Keeping RTC in the scrum is an excellent outcome. Through RTC Leah can bring in her heavy guns, Rinder and Headley, who have provided evidence on how the Clampire actually works.
The 'public figures' part of the dismissal bothers me. It appears that civil discourse is no longer enforceable. I can see judges wanting to keep away from that landmine. Otherwise every 3rd grader would be suing each other over playground antics.
I remember watching Cronkite try not to cry while announcing the death of JFK. If that happened today, news organizations would be tripping over themselves to have you see their newscaster cry first. When Kissinger died, we were told how we should feel about that.
I’m old enough to remember when the headline would have read “Judge Issues Ruling in Remini Case” and the news organization would have allowed the reader to draw their own conclusion.
People are only as dumbed down as news organizations force them to be. Thanks for letting us know what was taken out and left in. That’s what is needed to draw my own conclusions.
