    Yes, Goliath is. Great show, BTW.

    The key to ending this kind of BS by the media is to do what Justice Thomas suggested, and revisit the liable laws as it relates to public figures.

    Stupid their quest for clicks and continued propaganda spreading regarding the President had them trying to destroy a young person.

    Malicious defamation of public figures is illegal and common.

    The NYT vs. Sullivan case decided by the SCOTUS established there must be demonstrable malice directed at public officials before a publication can be found liable for misrepresentation and fraud.

    It's pretty easy to twiddle ones thumbs in declarative innocence while twisting a knife made of lies and distortions.

    That needs to end. The malice test needs to be removed as it applies to public figures.

    How quickly the ENTIRE Left condemned him for Smiling While White.

    But now the Left, eager to divide us into "people" and "enemies" are splintering as Marxists divide on old fault lines associated with the West's bloodiest wars. Democrat infighting: the inevitable clash of the identity groups.

    doesn't matter, the msm knowingly reported false & twisty facts which put that kid & his family in peril from potential harm by leftie extremists... no different than screaming 'fire' in a crowded theatre and someone being injured in the process.

    Yes, It should be much easier to establish malice in defamation lawsuits.

    We would be able to punish all malicious defamation. Which would be a good thing.

    There is evidence that they began to slaughter their children because of heavy rains in an area that normally has light rainfall. Not unlike the modern Left embracing infanticide as Cortez and other young left wing women swear off children due to "climate change".

    Malicious falsehood is a false statement made maliciouslythat causes damage to the claimant. Malicious in this case means the defendant either knew the statement was not true or did not take proper care to check. It is often covered under laws regarding defamation.

    In this case, especially with the internet, the damage can be severe in the future for someone looking for a job. In effect, Malicious defamation tramples other rights which is why there are laws providing punishment for it.
