No, it doesn’t. Slander laws. And while the restriction against domestic propaganda has been lifted, it should be restored.

Something has to be done to counter an utterly out-of-control media.

Putin just blows them up in their cars. That actually destroys a perfectly good car. /Sarc. Not much you can do about lying sack o craps, except ignore them and ridicule them.

Slander laws.

Yes, slander against private citizens should be actionable in civil law suits. But not against public figures, because that is a slippery slope down which we dare not go.

One man's propaganda is another man's advertising campaign. I don't want OBama's government to have the power to go there. We've already seen the DOJ try to go after companies for disagreeing with climate change.

Amen, Laz.
It’s a free country where anyone can express an opinion. No matter how much we, the people, find it repugnant.
The proper response is to ignore, rebut, and ridicule.

I agree. Too many Americans are unable to filter out the truth. Flat out lies being published as truth should be a crime.

Personally, I want Trump to put back together the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, including Lon Horiuchi, that went after Randy Weaver, and send them to the Washington Post HQ.

Buy it back!


Or; there is the Mormon method of destroying the printing press.


It appears that the NEW way of getting our 'news' is doing just that!
