The media is doing the lying and denying for the democrats (Clinton/Obama) under the protection of the first amendment.
I've often wondered, if the First Amendment doesn't cover yelling, "FIRE!," in a crowded theater, how then can it be used to cover willful deceit by massive news organs endowed with a sacred public trust that they not so misbehave.
There must, even in a truly free society, especially in a truly free society, be ways to combat and/or end the abuse of such phenomenal power.
