This is good. We need more of this. The media should not be able to lie with impunity.

After the election, the NYT announced they were no longer fact based, but were an anti-Trump advocate dedicated to his removal.

Machiavelli observed that false accusations are most often employed where there are few public indictments and wherever cities are less well organized to receive them. Constitutions of government must allow public charges against any citizen, done without fear, and without respect to the accuseds rank or position. Alternatively, false accusers must suffer because great disorders follow unanswered whisper campaigns.
Crush President Trump's Hearsay Accusers.

Every citizen in the US has recourse in the LAW to address this kind of thing.
Good!
If the ‘media’ recognizes what their sloppy, fraudulent and intentionally damaging ‘news’ is going to cost them... maybe they’ll return to ‘journalism’ as it’s ethically done. Maybe THEN people will respect them and actually listen to them.
As it is, who actually believes them at this point?

Love it, let’s hope for some justice and a guilty verdict and a hefty fine.

I support Trump 100% but could they also claim that the President of the United States unfairly called them the failing New York Times and fake news to intentionally hurt their business?
Trump should keep calling them that because he isnt lying about them so its not libel.

He’s got a high bar to jump. As public a figure as he is, he has to prove actual malice or willful disregard for truth. While we all know that both of those elements define the Slimes, proving it is next to impossible.

WINNING! Of course the asslown contestants in the DUHbait last night were swearing to it being a well known fact. Even to the point of tommy styro claiming he started pushing for an impeachment 3 years ago. What flaming idiots. And one is for sure.

Indoctrinate = Indoctrinated.
Plus there are the naive who believe if they see it on TV, it must be true. Why would CBSABCNBC, CNN, MSNBC and the various print media lie to them?
There are just too many of the MSM to all being lying, spinning, parsing, distorting. Kinda makes sense, unless a person has a logical and reasoning mind and the slightest knowledge of history.
Then there are the antifa and greenie anarchists types who just hate everything associated with the greatest society this Rock has ever seen. This and my earlier post above is why "Bernie the Commie" has so much support.

Good... Devan Nunes started the ball rolling. Lets hope more conservatives have the stones to do likewise.

I would target the individual. Plenty of biased bastards on MSNBC and CNN. Mark Levin could make a fortune given the task. 👍

While we all know that both of those elements define the Slimes, proving it is next to impossible.On top of that, New York courts hold that anything labelled "editorial or "opinion" is almost always libel-proof.
