"I'm going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money. We're going to open up those libel laws. So when The New York Times writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace or when The Washington Post, which is there for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they're totally protected."



Why shouldn't the New York Times be held accountable?

Stop running with fake news and non-stories to push an agenda. Major news organization should be compelled to print the facts and instead go on a constant witch hunt (eg Maddow's non-story about Trump's taxes). They are trying to undermine the administration of the president of the united states. This should not be taken lightly.

And despite (maybe in spite of) the constant aggression towards potus and his administration, the people trust Trump more than the media.

And just because someone has a small blog, they still shouldn't make up stories.

Remember this?

You mean make up stories like that Obama was born in Kenya? Or that Democrats ran a child sex ring in a DC pizza joint? Or that a terrorist attack occured in Bowling Green?

Also, any sentence starting with "major news organizations should be compelled to print" is, uh, pretty much the definition of non-free speech.

Come on. I expect more than that level of illogic on this forum, even from Trump apologists.
