I thought the truth was an ironclad defense.

Truth is a defense. The Dim loses must also show actual malice because Kerry is a public figure to prevail.

Putting the TV stations on notice probably heightens the TV station's theoretical liability.

But it won't stop these Clymers from threatening the TV stations with a lawsuit. I bet a lot of these TV stations will decline to show the commercial because of the mere threat of litigation.

Leave it to the Rats to put a chilling effect on freedom of speech.
