The lawsuit faces long odds in court. To succeed, the campaign will have to carry the heavy burden of proving that the Post’s claims were false statements of fact, and were published with actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth.

Oh no, that will be the easy part. WAPO has to handle the hard part.

Nick Sandmann broke the ice on suing the Fake Media. Now we are seeing the follow up. They aren’t immune for their knowing fake lies.

WaPo & NYT will double down to make Trump a laughing stock.

I hope Atty. Gen. Barr has nothing to do with it.
He will stretch the case out for years, and there still won’t be any conclusion.He would probably write a speech or two about the experience.

Well, since it is both the NYT and WP, we can assume that Trump is working a plan. I wonder where this is going...

I agree, WAPO is easy to dissect here, easy to prove they acted knowingly, fraudulently, to injure the President and his supporters.

The writer is relying on old case law of a different, less open era. The era we live in now, The Great Awakening, is making new case law. There are now thousands more ways to pin malice on persons professing to be journalists for malicious, willful, deliberate injury on others.

The arena appears the same, but the lights are much brighter, the view is clear with angles revealed in every corner and crevice, and the rules have changed.

We have freedom of speech but not to deliberately lie or commit fraud. If the President wins the lawsuit perhaps the bad guys can tossed in jail as well.
