Salem News has published a statement retracting Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2000 Mules. From the wording, it looks a lot like it was compelled by a legal settlement. It is currently sitting beneath a Sebastian Gorka broadcast. salemnewschannel.com

Salem Media Group, Inc. and its former publishing division, Regnery Publishing (together, "Salem"), published a film and book entitled 2000 Mules that examines allegations of voter fraud related to the 2020 presidential election. In publishing the film and the book, we relied on representations made to us by Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote, Inc. ("TTV") that the individuals depicted in the videos provided to us by TTV, including Mr.
Andrews, illegally deposited ballots. We have learned that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has cleared Mr. Andrews of illegal voting activity in connection with the event depicted in 2000 Mules.
It was never our intent that the publication of the 2000 Mules film and book would harm Mr. Andrews. We apologize for the hurt the inclusion of Mr. Andrews' image in the movie, book, and promotional materials have caused Mr. Andrews and his family. We have removed the film from Salem's platforms, and there will be no future distribution of the film or the book

I believe them. Thousands wouldn't. (You do get sarcasm, right?)

Are they the ones who burned witches?

If regular citizens who've been viciously libeled by a half-wit ex-con former "University President" can get a fine documentary withdrawn from circulation where does that leave the First Amendment? Do psychotic reactionaries in the throes of a fever dream have no libel rights in Biden's America?

They knew exactly what they were doing when they contracted with Dinesh. They knew they were buying a pile of horse shit, polishing it up and re-selling it to the public as chocolates.

"It was never our intent..." is not something people just sit around saying without impetus from a higher authority.
