US President-elect Donald Trump has launched lawsuits claiming damages against several media outlets. Days before the presidential election, Trump’s lawyer Edward Andrew Paltzik issued a letter to the New York Times and Penguin Random House that demanded $10 billion in damages over articles critical of Trump.

The letter, revealed by Columbia Journalism Review, accused the publications of “false and defamatory statements” about Trump, adding that the New York Times is a “a full-throated mouthpiece of the Democratic party” that wages “industrial-scale libel against political opponents”.

CNN deserves a 100 billion dollar lawsuit for the “Liz Cheney Firing Squad” hoax.

The New York Times and Washington Post is defaming Matt Gaetz, using their infamous “ anonymous sources “.

It’s time to bankrupt these slime balls.

All the major media does it, all the time. And I’m talking about the AP also. Our local newspaper rag did it when Trump’s reelection was confirmed. The AP article said Trump won the election even though there was a “violent insurrection” on January 6th, with other made up facts.

This newspaper is a skinny piece of paper compared to what it was 20 years ago. It’s hanging on by threads as a leftist rag in a solid conservative community and state.

There's gotta be a place in the Trump Administration for Kari Lake somewhere. I think she'd be a great pick to Chair the FCC-

"The government agency primarily responsible for dealing with the media is the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates interstate and international communications including radio, television, cable, satellite, and wire.

Key points about the FCC:

Function:

Oversees media broadcasting and ensures compliance with communication laws.

Regulation areas:

Content standards, licensing, ownership rules, and technical aspects of broadcasting."

In addition to the New York Times, Penguin Random House and Daily Beast, Trump and his campaign lawyers have sued CBS News, alleging in a lawsuit last month that its October interview with Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes was edited and was hence “election interference”.

The writ sought $10 billion in damages and accused CBS of going “into overdrive to get Kamala elected”.

CBS has called the lawsuit “completely without merit”, denied that the interview was edited and vowed to “vigorously defend” against the lawsuit.

The old media called him every derogatory name they could and said he was a criminal when they knew all was false.
