>>A felon is someone who has committed a felony. Is there a name for someone who has committed a misdemeanor?<<

even though they made errors, the news organizations didn’t do it with malice.

Adding a requirement for “intent” was a major blow to the rights of people being libeled by major “news” organizations. Basically, any MSM outlet can defend itself by declaring that it had no malice in intentionally publishing lies. It’s ridiculous.

So the MSM printing lies in defamation of character is OK as long as it the motive is not manifestly malicious, but they can ban you for objecting to liberal ethos: CENSORED: Twitter SUSPENDS Female GOP Congressional Candidate After Trans Criticism
