Her defense in a defamation lawsuit was that she was using hyperbole in offering an opinion. She's not the only commentary show host to use that defense, but she's the most notable one on the left that a lot of people like to overlook when pointing out the exaggerations and hyperbole on the right.

She was also the first to use the defense, i.e. before Tucker Carlson used it. I mention this because it's a fact that people often overlook when discrediting extremist comments from Carlson like "the NSA read my emails."
