Fire him again!
What did they do- fire him from one job and promote him to the next?
Gee there were a whole bunch of flu bro’s who thought Donald Trump was saying the same thing....in fact they’re STILL saying the virus is a hoax.
Been playing left and right here in Michigan too.
If you stop their lies then they will have nothing to say.
Why not YOUR PRESIDENT, TOO?
The New York Times Co. v. Sullivan decision - a unanimous 1964 decision by the Warren Court - justified limitations imposed on officeholders with the fatuous claim that
". . . libel can claim no talismanic immunity from constitutional limitations. It must be measured by standards that satisfy the First Amendment”As if the First Amendment had anything at all to do with libel law. The claim is fatuous because the entire motivation of the Bill of Rights was to eliminate controversy over the preservation of rights under the Constitutional regime.
Even tho the first eight amendments enumerate rights, they were tailored not to compromise any unenumerated right. E.g., “the” freedom of the press was freedom as it already existed, and as it already was limited by pornography, libel, and other restrictions.
The rights enumerated in the first eight amendments were only those which tyrants had historically denied their subjects. That is the only difference between the those rights and the rest of the rights - more or less definite, and more or less ill-defined - which are (also, in principle) covered by the Ninth Amendments.
Any sensible originalist interpretation of the First Amendment concludes that the right to sue for libel is unaffected by 1A. No court ruled otherwise until the 1964 Sullivan decision was handed down. Sullivan must be challenged and struck down.
It’s a shame if the FCC doesn’t step in & put that station completely & utterly out of business.
