Yesterday, FTVLive told you that KVVU News Director Cristi Jessee has been spending time with hard Right Reporter Laura Loomer. 

Many staffers were worried that Jessee was looking to hire Loomer to join the staff at the Meredith station. 

Sources tell FTVLive that last week, Jessee told the staff at KVVU that, "Laura Loomer is doing a better job than any reporter we have."

After we posted the story, Loomer posted this to Twitter about the Reporters at KVVU: 

Last night Loomer sent FTVLive a direct message on Twitter: 

A Google search for Loomer comes back with many hits describing her as Alt-Right. Here's a small sample: 

But, she says she's not Alt-Right and so FTVLive changed our story to take out that reference and we apologize for saying that.

As for referring to her as a "racist"? Let's go  to one of her tweets: 

That Laura is racist and that is what got you banned from both Uber and Lyft. 

Then there are these other tweets sent by Loomer:

Newsweek wrote a story about how Twitter was un-verifying accounts of a number of people that violated the term and conditions.

Mentioned in that Newsweek story was Loomer, writing, "Some who have been unverified, including journalist Laura Loomer, said the policy change doesn’t have anything to do with verification, but rather she blamed censorship. In a tweet, she outlined why Twitter said they removed her: “Translation: I'm a conservative.” Loomer is a far-right activist whose complaints about Muslim drivers saw her banned by Uber and Lyft."

Loomer should also understand as a public person, she is open to being called many things. 

"In the context of defamation actions (libel and slander) as well as invasion of privacy, a public figure cannot succeed in a lawsuit on incorrect harmful statements in the United States unless there is proof that the writer or publisher acted with actual malice by knowing the falsity or by reckless disregard for the truth. The legal burden of proof in defamation actions is thus higher in the case of a public figure than in the case of an ordinary person."

So yeah, we called you a racist based on your own statements. 

Did the FTVLive story really cost you los wages? Are you saying that KVVU was going to hire you and now they are not? 

As for damaging your reputation? I think you did that all by yourself, you did not need any help from us. 

Laura, the Reporters you refer to as Liberals are not. My guess is that some are Democrats and some are Republican and some are independent. Their job is to report the story in a fair way, giving both sides of a story. That is what they do and that is what is called Journalism.

What you do is activism, it's not Journalism. That's fine you do what you do, but don't call in Journalism, because it is not.   

I have no idea if KVVU News Director Cristi Jessee was actually going to hire you or not? Your DM claims the FTVLive story caused you lost wages, so maybe they were. 

If that is true, then the person that should be out of a job is Cristi Jessee. But, that's just my opinion.

So, to sum up, we'll take back the part about calling you Alt-Right since that definition is so large anyway. As for taking back calling you a racist? That's our opinion of you and that's where it stands.

We'll take our chances in court.
