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.
They will make it legal for government to not only sue but prosecute and jail journalists. Fascist playbook.
Yeah, I’m not sure why people expect his administration to follow the established rules.
Yeah, this is the bunch that would like to see people like Jack Smith murdered for merely doing their jobs.
