Summary
Donald Trump has launched a series of legal actions against major news outlets, including the New York Times, CBS News, and the Washington Post, demanding billions in damages for alleged defamatory coverage.
A letter from Trump’s attorney accuses the Times of engaging in “industrial-scale libel” and targets articles scrutinizing Trump’s business and political conduct.
Legal complaints have also been filed over CBS’s alleged pro-Kamala Harris edits and Washington Post articles purportedly aiding her campaign.
Legal experts warn that such litigation could have a “chilling effect” on journalism, especially for smaller outlets.
But they repeatedly promised while campaigning that they are the party of free speech! Surely they didn’t just lie to my face??
They are for freezed peach like the Nazis are for “peace” - if there is no opposition, those in agreement (and are the “right” kind of people) can have all the free speech and peace they want.
