Bipartisan Group Officially Introduces Bill To Protect Journalists That Was First Reported By TPM​

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Kevin Kiley (R-CA) on Thursday officially introduced federal anti-SLAPP legislation, meant to protect journalists and other critics from frivolous lawsuits, particularly of the sort that are expected under the new Trump regime.

I broke the news of the existence of the legislation, and the plan to introduce it, last week. SLAPP stands for strategic lawsuit against public participation, and wealthy people often use them to chill criticism, bury their critics in legal fees and force them to divulge sensitive information during discovery. There is a patchwork of anti-SLAPP measures at the state level, but no federal law; some federal appellate courts don’t allow defendants to use state anti-SLAPP protections, incentivizing those who file these suits to forum shop.

“The rich and powerful are all too willing to use the legal system to bludgeon reporters, activists and whistleblowers with expensive lawsuits, even if the claims have no merit,” Wyden said in a statement.

“Goliath triumphs over David in our justice system when powerful special interests can silence their critics with frivolous strategic lawsuits against public participation, or ‘SLAPPs,’” Raskin added.

This isn't going to be helpful........if it passes........in Patel's pursuit of silencing and or intimidating media critics of Baby Donald. The author of a propagandist children's book has announced his intention of ushering in a police state with respect to journalists not in the habit of fawning praise for Dear Leader.

Here is another opportunity for congressional Repubs to either honor the Constitution or bend over for the Orange Menace.

Pretty sure you know what those Rethugikkkons are going to do don't you?
MAGA

That Bill is DOA, duh.

 

[Polishprince]

The leftists are the ones who started that trend, with their attacks on leading conservative journalists like James O'Keefe and Alex Jones.

Now they are afraid the worm has turned and they will have to live by the same rules they imposed on others.

The first thing an authoritarian regime wants to do is intimidate and shut down opposing speech. That's the template, and it works like a charm.

Say that to a Trumpster, and they'll have to deflect and claim that Biden intimidated and shut down media, which is a lie. Except in their distorted minds.

They want this. Evidently, they always have.

Where is Infowars at today, if the Sleepy Joe Regime wasn't intimidating and closing opposition media?

How about the Excellence in Broadcasting Network?

 

[SeaMajor7]

The demented LEFT are completely in a PANIC.
Blanket pre-pardons, and this attempt to cycle the wagons for their lap-dog presstitutes are clear examples that they KNOW the Jig is up, and there's a new sheriff in town ready to KICK ASS.
How fucking PATHETIC.

All well and good.But remember that Conservatives are not the
same political animal{s} as them Democrats.One reason that Trump
scored such a heady victory on November 5th.
Reasonable minds tend to take things in stride and hope for
the best.Whereas Democrats are not reasonable.Nor was
Stalin,Hitler,Mao or Castro.Then Justin Trudeau.

Are you really that clueless about what the Govt does?

Those inside the POT are immediately viewed as the opposition any time they dare to criticize Dear Leader. Making intimidation apply to both Dem's and Repubs as well as all media outlets.
