D.C. Circuit Judge Laurence Silberman penned a scathing dissent Friday on a defamation case

• The Reagan-appointed judge slammed the 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan landmark decision requiring plaintiffs to prove 'actual malice' by defendants
• Silberman claimed the ruling has only increased the power of the press, which is almost completely controlled by the Democratic Party
• 'Two of the three most influential papers, The New York Times and The Washington Post, are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets,' he wrote
• He named Fox News, The New York Post, and The Wall Street Journal as the 'few notable exceptions to Democratic Party ideological control'

'After observing my colleagues' efforts to stretch the actual malice rule like a rubber band, I am prompted to urge the overruling of New York Times v. Sullivan.'
'Justice Thomas has already persuasively demonstrated that New York Times was a policy-driven decision masquerading as constitutional law,' Silberman said, citing the fellow conservative judge.
'As with the rest of the opinion, the actual malice requirement was simply cut from whole cloth. New York Times should be overruled on these grounds alone.'

Comment:
More rational people in positions of power need to speak out.
Need proof? - just look at the fact that the American media didn't cover Biden falling 3 times on his way up the stairs yesterday. Just look at the fact that the biased media in the midst of a critical election would not report on Biden's son Hunter - imagine if that was Trump's son? Add in the SJM elements banning conservatives constantly and we are heading quickly towards Totalitarian Marxist Facism.
Why isnt every conservative completely boycotting the msm and some of them starting their own information bureaus? With todays technology we dont need embedded msm any more to get true information.
Who needs those biased talking heads?

WH press conferences should not have pre screened questions either. This is supposed to be the leader of the country (tongue planted firmly in cheek) and he should be able to answer questions off the cuff.

Yep, The New York Post, Fox, and the WSJ are Murdoch
The Washington Post has been owned by Jeff Bezos since 2013.
The New York Times also remains an extension of Wall Street so lobbies for billionaire interests and endless war regardless of Party.
All accelerate our takeover by giant corporations.
