“Not true, the SCOTUS has determined that they can libel away as long as there’s no malicious intent behind it, and of course we know that liberals always have good intentions.”

If memory serves, didn’t Carol Burnett and Richard Jewell sue and win ?

Not sure about Carol Burnett’s case, but I don’t think Richard Jewell was a public figure, which means that the original libel laws would still apply.
