Eh. Ignore the first line of my last post. I wanna talk reasonably in this case, and a semi-flame was a bad start for me.
Thanks. I appreciate your last post. I would say that making it easier to sue news outlets is not going to increase anyone’s free speech. The reason that public figures have a harder time suing for libel is that the Supreme Court thought that was necessary in order to protect free speech. This is because in the rough and tumble of politics there are going to be many things that one side thinks are true and the other side thinks are false. We don’t want the courts having to rule on all of those disputes.
