Conservative radio host seeks dismissal of election fraud defamation case before Colorado Court of Appeals

Courthouse News Service: A conservative attorney and the network that hosts his talk radio show asked the Colorado Court of Appeals on Tuesday to reverse a lower court’s denial of anti-SLAPP motions to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by a target of 2020 election fraud disinformation.

“The plaintiff’s entire case is based on a theme of self-censorship,” argued attorney Thomas Quinn, on behalf of Denver-based Salem Media, which hosts conservative talk radio shows, including Wake Up with Randy Corporon.

Following the 2020 election, Corporon interviewed Joseph Oltmann, a Castle Rock-based businessman who claimed he heard a man identified as “Eric from Dominion” say on a call that he was going to make sure Trump lost the 2020 election.
