More libel lawsuits against fake news
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/48627...l-lawsuits

The Hill is kind of an establishment Republican website. They do have some liberal Democratic articles. Usually they identify the author's background. In this one they don't. Its CNN level one-sided questioning Trump's libel lawsuits.

Personally, I think these are long overdue. Flat out lies shouldn't be allowed against anyone. Hollywood figures have won such cases. The media has crossed a line and needs to be punished. Its a high bar to win, but NYT, WaPo and CNN have regularly been leaping over high bars in their lies. Its only intimidating to those who flat out lie. And its purpose is to drive good people out of politics, leaving only those in cahoots with the MSM.


"...The lawsuits, filed in consecutive weeks, allege that the outlets knowingly published false information about the president in opinion pieces that touched on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., against the Post cites a June 2019 piece from Post opinion writer Paul Waldman.

"The 2020 election will obviously be distinct in all kinds of ways we can’t yet anticipate," Waldman wrote. "For instance, who knows what sort of aid Russia and North Korea will give to the Trump campaign, now that he has invited them to offer their assistance?" In the sentence, Waldman linked to an ABC interview in which Trump suggested he would accept potentially damaging information from a foreign government about a political opponent...."
