Mark Steyn Back in Court

Above is a short video statement from Mark in England.

I haven’t followed the case closely, but if memory serves Mark was fined by Ofcom in the UK for covering the cases of a few vaccine-injured. Mark promptly sued OfCom, and ultimately was fired by GB News. Details here.

Mark suffered another heart attack a few weeks ago and is in England against doctor’s orders.

I assume with Mark we’ll be able to dispense with the tedious discussion of whether or not he’s a “real” journalist. (To my eye, the “real” journalists are easy to spot - they’re the ones being prosecuted and persecuted)

This post was promoted to the Main Feed at the recommendation of Ricochet's members.

    What is going on with Mark’s health? I know he’s had a series of heart attacks, but are they doing anything for him? A pacemaker? A defibrillator? Do we know why his heart has suddenly become so unstable?

    I have no idea of the details of his treatment. But he spoke highly of the doctors who treated him in France, and then again in Italy. Recently he’s been here in the states.

    I know he had a heart attack in England, another in Paris, and another recently here in the states. To be honest, I think I’m forgetting one.

    He sounded very weak and depressed in his most recent Q & A.

    Mark Steyn says (14 Jun 2024):

    Last Wednesday, over lunch, I had another heart attack (mild), necessitating a trip to hospital, where a couple of days later I had yet another (milder). If you're going to have heart attacks, a medical facility (other than the NHS or the University of Vermont Medical Center) is about the best place to have them, so the doctors and nurses couldn't understand why I was so eager to bust free of their ministrations and leap on a flight to Heathrow for the additional stresses of a hearing in the English High Court:

    If there was ever a personality to be preserved via AI, it should be Mark Steyn.

    Ofcom and the CRTC should make one ever so grateful for the First Amendment. There’s almost nothing else like it in the Western world.

    You can complain all you want about the biases in American media, but be grateful that the Constitution guards their right to spout their beliefs as it guarantees your right to do the same.
