NOW you’re talking. I would be fully behind Trump suing. He’ll never win, but I would still be all for it.Last time I looked, defamation was against the law. When a fake news org intentionally defames ANYONE - even a sitting President - they should be held accountable for that. For some reason we've been giving them a pass on this and I don't know why the press is above the law.
We cannot keep ourselves informed if a large portion of our accredited information sources are lying to us for political purposes. Most people don't want to have to run down every little thing that happens; that is what our news media is for. If we wanted to do it all ourselves, we don't need them.
I don't think it's too much to ask that we DEMAND our news sources either report factual news OR be labeled as entertainment. Our First Amendment does not cover intentionally lying from their position of power in order to overthrow our government and replace our duly elected President with one of their choosing. In fact, that is the epitome of UNconstitutional.
That is ENTIRELY different from the government deciding what’s ok to print in a general way.
