Democratic Attorney: Rachel Maddow's Behavior was 'Preposterous' and 'Reckless'

Back in February, MSNBC's parent company settled a lawsuit brought by a gynecologist who accused the network of defaming him after three of its anchors referred to him as the "uterus collector" on air. The suggestion being made was that he was some kind of lunatic performing surgery on migrant women without their consent and without any medical need to do so.
MSNBC parent company, NBCUniversal, has settled its "uterus collector" lawsuit that saw Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes’ programs make "verifiably false" statements that a Georgia gynecologist Dr. Mahendra Amin performed unnecessary hysterectomies at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center.
The parties have agreed to, and signed, a term sheet to settle the lawsuit, according to a joint notice of settlement obtained by Fox News Digital. The parties are working to finalize the language of the settlement agreement and are expected to effectuate the settlement within the next several weeks...
Maddow, Hayes and Wallace were among potential witnesses if it reached trial, along with NBC News reporters Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley, MSNBC producer Denis Horgan, senior director of stands and practices Mary Lockhart, deputy head of standards Chris Scholl and others.
It was Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley who brought this story to MSNBC based on the claims of a "whistleblower" who turned out to be misinformed and unreliable. Their first version of the story was found to be too thin to publish but they added some details and were able to get it through the Standards and Practices office at NBC. Then Rachel Maddow jumped on it as another way to attack the Trump administration. The problem was that none of it was true. Judge Lisa Godbey Wood looked at the claims and concluded they could be proved verifiably false.
