Fox News hit with another defamation lawsuit, this one from ‘Scary Poppins’

Fox News has been hit with another defamation lawsuit, this one from the Democrat apparatchik who had been tabbed to head up the Biden regime’s now-defunct Disinformation Governance Board as the sharks circle the embattled conservative network, sensing blood in the water after its $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.

Self-proclaimed disinformation expert Nina Jankowicz who has been dubbed “Scary Poppins” for her bizarre rendition of the song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from the 1964 Disney classic, “Mary Poppins” sued the network on Wednesday for essentially saying mean things about her, The New York Times reported.

The backlash against her appointment as President Joe Biden’s “disinformation czar” for the top spot at the Department of Homeland Security entity that critics had likened to George Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth” forced her out before the entire board was scuttled, and now Jankowicz is seeking to carve off her pound of flesh.

According to the New York Times, the censorship-crazed former bureaucrat filed her suit in the same Delaware state court where Dominion lodged its lawsuit against Fox News and is reportedly seeking unspecified damages.

“Even after achieving their stated goal of driving me out of government and ending the board, they kept using me as a punching bag,” Jankowicz told the outlet in an interview on Wednesday. “It shouldn’t be something we just accept — that the most powerful cable network in the world can attack individuals willy-nilly and not face any consequences after they ruin their lives.”

Some may point out that it was Jankowicz herself who invited Fox News pundits to use her as a “punching bag” with her “You can just call me the Mary Poppins of disinformation” singing video that she posted to social media in 2021, a cringe-worthy imitation of actress Julie Andrews who sang the original in the classic flick from way back in the day when Disney made family-friendly entertainment and not sexually degenerate groomer propaganda.

According to the Times, “Ms. Jankowicz’s suit specifically cites the Dominion case, saying Fox’s narrative about her ‘is consistent with Fox’s practices in other contexts, including in its election denialism and the related defamation of Dominion Voting Systems.’’’

The brass at Fox may already rue the day that they chickened out and paid the money rather than defend their honor in a court of law as well as the court of public opinion, and now opportunists like Jankowicz are looking to cash in on the network’s seeming weakness.

Rylee Sommers-Flanagan who is one of Jankowicz’s attorneys told the outlet that the Dominion Voting Systems settlement “signals that there is a path” for a parade of defamation suits against Fox News.

“Dominion shows us how egregious the internal conversations that are happening at Fox are; it shows us that Fox News has an absolute disregard for truth when it is related to their ratings,” she said.

“This has had an immense impact for my family. I don’t think our security will ever be the same,”  Jankowicz told the paper. “I want to make the point that this sort of disinformation and hate campaign doesn’t have a place in American media or American politics; that this isn’t what we stand for.”
