造謠誣衊美國總統選舉投票機器者,要小心了!
「美國思想者」(American Thinker) 是美國右翼保守派線上雜誌,創立於2003年。關於美國2020總統大選,這份線上雜誌及其作者群,毫無根據地誣衊多米尼投票公司操控選舉,以致川普落選。在多米尼發出律師信函後,美國思想者的編輯暨發行人利夫申(Thomas Lifson) 終於在昨天正式發表道歉聲明,對無端誣衊多米尼的行為感到懊悔。由於這個事件的重要性,下面是該道歉聲明全文譯成中文(如附),供大家參考。 6park.com這個事件對法輪功旗下媒體(如大紀元),以及台灣一些自媒體不斷配合誣衊多米尼與美國總統大選,應有相當的棒喝提醒與法律壓力。 6park.com美國是一三權分立的民主國家,是非與正義一定會獲得彰顯!企圖以政治立場綁架是非者,或被政治狂熱矇閉是非思辨者,千萬不要低估美國的道德底蘊,因為美國社會的是與非的分野,不會因你的起鬨,而會有絲毫的變動。 6park.com 6park.comFrom American Thinker: January 15, 2021 6park.comStatement By Thomas Lifson 6park.com
We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatory statements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their request that we publish the following statement:
American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently.
These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims.
It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees. We also apologize to our readers for abandoning 9 journalistic principles and misrepresenting Dominion’s track record and its limited role in tabulating votes for the November 2020 election. We regret this grave error.
