From a Freedom standpoint, I'm not a fan of banning Freedom of Speech, nor Freedom of the Press.

HOWEVER, the flagrant broadcast of FALSE information, from unknown sources, should be met with Defamation and Slander lawsuits of HUGE Punitive Damages, but, with paid-for, threatened, and COMPLICIT rogue Judges, winning at Lawfare is a crapshoot, at best, and with the Roberts Court, the current make up of the USSC is right along the lines of "rogue Judges"....

“From a Freedom standpoint, I’m not a fan of banning Freedom of Speech, nor Freedom of the Press.”

That’s my starting point also. Aren’t there conservative-leaning outlets to compute with the ones being complained about.

One can also ask, what net harm have they done? The Democrat party is in shambles. Trump’s on a roll. Citizens are becoming more conservative, I think.

What would get the ball rolling would be the overturning of the Sullivan Act.

Once that is overturned, then they can be sued (and be told in no uncertain terms that lying will be no longer be tolerated) the liars can go to jail.
