“The problem of a biased and one sided media would not be remedied by over turning New York Times v. Sullivan. It would just give the left an easier time waging all out lawfare against conservative media.”

Nonsense! It is already at that point! The left is so stupid that it will shoot itself in the foot, thereby clearing the field for new limitations for free speech.

He was referring to the actual PRINTING PRESS. It wasn’t until early in the 20th century did the phrase ‘The Press’ become a euphemism for professional media, or media of any kind.”

And in Madison’s day they weren’t the “press” who needed freedom to speak/print, because many of them were the king’s publication. It was the “pamphleteers” (eighteenth century social/alternate media) who were speaking against the crown.

...Sort of like today, except instead of the crown, the alternate “press”, FB TWIT et al silencing dissenting voices, unheard...again

Regulate and License Commercial Speech for compensation or gain. Or everyone could just take the EvVil Knevil approach and swing away.

Silberman is one-of-a-kind. Like others have noted, too bad Roberts isn’t such a one. Or Barrett or Kavanaugh, for that matter. What a bunch of spineless weasels.

One good judge when the most of them are totally corrupt.

Yeah, that bio really shows he’s a lion of the Constitution.

I’d noticed him of course but never realized just how much he’d done for us.

As the keyword says, there’s ONE honest judge left in America?

Wow. Didn’t think we had that many.

It is the essence of a MONOPOLY and further mergers should be prohibited based on their history. They damper down free exchange of thought and information. This directly imapacts consumers.

The Injustice Dept. doesn’t care.

We basically have two constitutional justices on the Supreme Court, Alito and Thomas. The other seven are weasels. These are dark times indeed.

"The problem of a biased and one sided media would not be remedied by over turning New York Times v. Sullivan. It would just give the left an easier time waging all out lawfare against conservative media."

This.

Sullivan protected Drudge running the Lewinsky story after Isikoff spiked it. Sullivan permits my tagline.

When the judge says,

"As has become apparent, Silicon Valley also has an enormous influence over the distribution of news. And it similarly filters news delivery in ways favorable to the Democratic Party. "

That's not a valid complaint against Sullivan, that's a complaint against United States v. Microsoft having neutered Standard Oil!

To be fair, the judge's screed is a good read -- Federal Judges are usually blase and pretend to be jaded so as to appear impervious (imperial!) to the Narrative, so any Judge thoughtful enough to remember Candy Crowley's scurrilous moderation of that Second Debate is someone who groks all the pieces of this nasty "1000-Piece MSM Cabal Puzzle".

But then again, Fatass Candy screwed Romney, so are we really that sorry she did it?
