“I cannot imagine how ANYONE on our side can defend them.”
We’re not.
We’re defending the Constitution. Imagine the outcry here if Hillary said the same thing but substitute NYT with Free Republic. The danger is the media may be made to fear even printing something about a politician that’s true because even the threat to be sued can instill fear. How many times have you heard a politician claim something that was said about them was was a lie only to find out later it was the truth?
My God. It appears more and more some want a dictator as long as that dictator is Trump.

You’ve been here a while - THAT IS THEIR PLAN - and no, we are not happy about it.
Given where the media is taking us, that will be the end result anyway - FR and Rush being SILENCED, the left running a state-controlled media. A few more FCC appointments and they get there ANYHOW.
So I prefer Trump PUTTING THEM ON NOTICE that they will be HELD ACCOUNTABLE NOW, while we still have a chance to stop this - rather than letting them finish their takeover.
