The American legacy media now is facing the prospect of a new court threat: Be truthful or else.
It’s coming as a filing with the U.S. Supreme Court challenges the legitimacy of an old court standard, established in New York Times v. Sullivan, that essentially allows media organizations to “falsely vilify, smear, and attack public figures with impunity.”
America’s legacy media outlets and corporations have, in recent years, become highly politicized. Donald Trump’s age? Huge problem. Joe Biden’s age? No big deal. Donald Trump’s government papers? A felony. Joe Biden’s government papers, in his garage no less? No big deal.
The new fight is coming on behalf of famed constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and now is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The American Center for Law and Justice is working on the fight.
The origins of the case come from Dershowitz’ appearance before the U.S. Senate arguing against the impeachment of President Trump, an impeach-and-remove scheme that ultimately failed.
The media’s actual job is to report the facts and let the people form their own opinion, not try to play the favorite and promote the agenda of one political party.
It was really great to see the Trump-Kennedy Center spokesman shred tje PBS ‘journalist’ over their biased reporting on tonights newshour. He pointed out their biased reporting historically and specifically during the interview segment. They lost their funding for a good reason…which was publically uncovered tonight.
Good Job! to the Trump-Kennedy Centery spokesperson…
