D.C. Circuit Judge Laurence Silberman penned a scathing dissent Friday on a defamation case
- The Reagan-appointed judge slammed the 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan landmark decision requiring plaintiffs to prove 'actual malice' by defendants
- Silberman claimed the ruling has only increased the power of the press, which is almost completely controlled by the Democratic Party
- 'Two of the three most influential papers, The New York Times and The Washington Post, are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets,' he wrote
- He named Fox News, The New York Post, and The Wall Street Journal as the 'few notable exceptions to Democratic Party ideological control'

Tough and very needed talk. Unfortunately his vote was with the minority.
Prediction: Nothing will come from this. I hate that.

“Why isn’t this guy on the Supreme Court?“
Reagan considered Silberman, but after the Democrats borked Bork, he wanted to go with someone easier to confirm and some Republicans indicated they wouldn’t support Silberman, so it was a no go. (Typical GOP lol). George HW Bush considered him, but well, you know HW...

Keep the 1964 decision. It protects the shallow pocketed conservative press against liberal kangaroo courts.

Where are the younger judges talking like this? Why isnt every conservative completely boycotting the msm and some of them starting their own information bureaus.?.there should be 75 million boycotters and at least 500,000 info. Bureaus. With todays rechnology we dont need embedded msm any more to get true information.
Who needs those talking heads? Cut the cable or link or stream or whatever leftist woke propaganda source you think you need. You will save money, defund them, and source your info from other trusted sources.
