Trump and His Picks Threaten More Lawsuits Over Critical Coverage

[Orangecat]

The article is about unfavorable coverage and that is what I commented on.

Can you define “unfavorable coverage”, or will you just use the term as an umbrella for lies and defamation?

Well, according to the snippet posted in the OP, the article is about a "flurry of threatened defamation lawsuits"

"Crack down on unfavorable coverage" is what the article states.

Unfavorable coverage is coverage unfavorable to a person.

The article is spin-designed to make you think that Trump is going after the freedom of the press.

Of course, they will still be here four years from now. Nothing I said implied that they should be silenced, but in terms of CNN and MSNBC, their ratings will do them in. It may take four or more years, but they are on their way out.

Trump is a coward and fascist; he fears legitimate, warranted criticism of his failed, wrongheaded policies.

And like a fascist dictator, Trump uses threats of lawsuits and prosecution to silence the press, displaying Trump’s continued contempt for the First Amendment.

Pknope: A woman is someone who defines themselves as a woman.

That's a rather biased opinion by the writer describing the actual and threatened defamation lawsuits. Some of would characterize them as "about ******* time."

Good news is that such lawsuits won’t be won if a news organization made a mistake due to bad information from “a source.” to be successfully sued they would have to deliberately lie with “actual malice. “

So the mainstream outlets have nothing to wor - oh wait . . .

Did you read my reply? I said I've seen one. You then questioned me and posted the one.

Do you inhabit the same reality as the rest of the planet? Trump has been the ONLY candidate and Politican that goes int o the snake nest and takes on the failed media and their attempts to carry water for the Democrats.

As for Fascist, you, along with your entire ideology don't even know the ******* definition of the word. If you did, you'd see that the only Fascists in American politics today is the left.
