The news media have different laws from the rest of us. They can get away with blatant, deliberate lies and not be sued for libel

That is not accurate sir. They can indeed to be sued for libel. Trump is talking about the greater scrutiny of suits by public figures that is given. His proposal sounds quite tyrannical - keep the mouths of the plebes shut under threat of lawsuit by the wealthy elite and powerful politicians. It is one of the scariest things I have ever heard proposed openly by a candidate for office.

I heard Trump say that at the rally, but evidently he elaborated at some other time that I didn't hear.

Just what is his proposal?

Ahem, it is exactly what Scalia said should be done and it is what this country worked under until 1964.

Bring back what our Founders, Abraham Lincoln, and even FDR and Eisenhower said was right.
