"Government control of the press (or any other speech) is dangerous. The only good solution is a robust conservative press to counter their lies. 3. Gig 'em. Class of 82 (for Southack) How dare you call me a troll. You must be a B.Q.!"

Telling our courts to NOT prosecute libel, slander, conspiracy, contempt, and outright lies in the news media would be a disastrous policy to follow.

Don't go there.

Jail the tainted reporters and expose their whole sordid affair.

Do you really want to make lying and slander criminal? Really? Who defines the lies?

If a paper had printed that Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broderick, should the Clinton Justice Department have had the power to take the reporter throught a criminal trial?

Sure, he might have been found innocent, but the mere threat of criminal prosecution, with all the legal costs, stress, and possibility of conviction, would stifle free speech.

Our courts are corrupt, the goverment is corrupt, and any Democrat justice department would certainly be corrupt. Do you really want to give them that kind of oppressive power?
