CBS 60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley: “He said the—the Democrats making so much of it is a Democratic hoax, not that the virus was a hoax.” Snopes: “Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.”

The very same Scott Pelley who was FIRED as anchor of The CBS News for being so virulent anti-Trump and lying to his audience, Oh, that one.

Catching lies on a small TV station up in God’s Country.

A good sign that the Trump Rapid Response Team is on top of its game!

Good. I love it when he goes on offense like this. His legal team gave them a chance to end it properly and they ignored it, so it came to a lawsuit.

It’s a shame that the FCC doesn’t step in and threaten to yank their license rather than just the suit hitting them with “unspecified monetary damages and legal fees.”

The President’s campaign is seeking unspecified monetary damages and legal fees.

Soros and the rest of them will just pay whatever the fine is, and keep right on coming up with fake anti Trump ads.
They don't care what the cost is, as long as they beat Trump in November.

If we had common sense licensing and regulations on Commercial Speech, this could be dealt with easily.

For the president’s campaign to sue is well and good. It’d be better if the president himself sued personally.

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.
