The only thing the Communist Times can do is lie and spread disinformation.

Quick, somebody call the FBI.

I am surprised the Libs are not on board with this as they seem to be AGAINST free speech now. Though they really just want free speech for them and not anyone who disagrees with them. If you disagree with them, your speech is hate, violence and/or a civil rights violation of some kind.

DeSantis is taking on the challenges that Trump will not.

The “Press” is a machine that is used to print newspapers. It does not have rights. People that use Presses to distribute news as a profession do have rights—but those rights are no different than anyone else. They do not get special rights that the rest of us do not have.

The target is propaganda, not journalism.

DeSantis should also go for tort reform while he is at it. Put an end to frivolous shakedown civil lawsuits by endorsing “loser pays” legislation.

“....the precedent discouraged people from running for office.”

That is one of the goals for sure. It didn’t work with Trump. After he was elected they shifted their goal to make his presidency a living hell, so much so that he would resign. When that didn’t work they shifted to impeachment. When that didn’t work they shifted to voting rigging and voter fraud.

Mr. DeSantis and his guests laid out a detailed case for revisiting a landmark Supreme Court decision protecting the press from defamation lawsuits.

Stop it, Governor DeSantis! Just stop it! Stop destroying liberal institutions!

You're making Trump look bad.

Is the Times trying to protect its right to continue to say “false” claims of election fraud?

Ken Bensinger of The Walter Duranty Times - just another Media fabulist, lying for The "By Any Means Necessary" Party:

New York Times Hires Buzzfeed Lead Reporter on Steele Dossier [Ken Bensinger] to Cover ‘Right-Wing Media’
August 18, 2022
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4086875/posts

The New York Times announced Thursday that it has hired Buzzfeed News’s Ken Bensinger to “pioneer a new beat” covering right-wing media — the same Ken Bensinger, the Times omits in its announcement, who first reported the Steele Dossier...

...The [coming-out] statement [for Ken the Fabulist] provides an exhaustive list of topics and stories Bensinger has covered — from campaign finance, to “political disinformation,” to the Oath Keepers’ finances.

Curiously absent, however, is any mention of Bensinger being the lead reporter on the uncritical Buzzfeed story that injected the infamous Steele Dossier into the public conversation in 2017, with the headline: “These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia.”

The Dossier was eventually revealed to be full of false information, after it was used as the basis for the “Russia collusion” investigation that consumed the majority of former President Donald Trump’s term, ultimately proving to be a hoax.

Bensinger never reported any follow-up stories on the topic of the Dossier, according to his byline on Buzzfeed, after it was confirmed to be disinformation.

The bulk of his work following that story focused on foreign workers being employed at Trump properties.

News reporting is one thing, what we’ve been seeing the last 20 years or so is basically opinion editorials. It’s not enough that a journalist wants to cover news events but they ALL desire to express their own personal little editorial opinions... which is not news reporting.

Yes, I also believe that we need to crack down on American journalism. Especially since most is made-up political BS.

Under Sullivan, public figures who sue for defamation must show not only that a report contained false and damaging information, but also that its publisher acted with “actual malice” by knowing that the report was false or by recklessly disregarding the truth.

In other words, the writer accused of defamation must declare in court "I didn't care that it really happened! I just wanted to hurt him!" in order to be breaking the present law.
