Things just keep getting worse for the left-wing mainstream media.
NBC Universal has settled a lawsuit on behalf of MSNBC with a doctor the network falsely accused of committing numerous hysterectomies on female detainees at an ICE facility in rural Georgia.
The stories aired on MSNBC shows back in September 2020 hosted by the likes of Nicolle Wallace, Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow, as well as various NBC News reports.
Amin was even dubbed as the “uterus collector,” despite no evidence he ever engaged in such activities.
The obstetrician-gynecologist responded to the reports by filing a lawsuit against NBCUniversal, demanding $20 million in punitive damages and a further $10 million in compensatory damages.
His lawsuit accused the network of portraying him as “an abusive, unethical, and dishonest physician who treated and operated on immigrant women in an abusive fashion, without consent, and motivated by profit instead of quality healthcare.”
Last June, U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood ruled that “the undisputed evidence establishes that multiple NBC statements are false.”

“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,” she wrote in her 108-page ruling.
However, the final settlement agreement has not been publicly disclosed.
Had the lawsuit gone all the way to trial, hosts including Maddow, Hayes, and Wallace would likely have been called as potential witnesses. This may have proven devastating for the network’s already tarnished reputation.
Other potential witnesses included NBC News reporters Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley, MSNBC producer Denis Horgan, senior director of stands and practices Mary Lockhart, and deputy head of standards Chris Scholl.
The agreement was reached weeks after a Florida jury found CNN liable for defamation against U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young and must pay out punitive damages.
The jury had awarded Young $4 million for lost earnings and another $1 million for personal damages, including emotional distress.
Before the panel could finalize an additional penalty against CNN, 14th Judicial Circuit Court Judge William S. Henry announced that both parties had settled on a final compensation amount.
