Libel laws mean something in Great Britain, not so much in the US.

Far more scurrilous things are published about public figures in this country than would ever be allowed in most other English-speaking countries.

But nobody ever said the press corps in any country was “fair”.

We need serious libel laws reform in this country. It'd put fake news CNN out of business in next to no time. Little chance of that passing when the GOPe and Queen Nancy are against it.

Gagging laws in the UK mean more.
