Media organizations can be sued for libel and slander under current law. All you have to do is prove that they knowingly published false information with an intent to do you harm. Trump wants to make it easier to sue so that he can sue anyone that he thinks is unfair to him. In other, words he wants to silence anyone who criticizes him.

We have already seen him threaten Cruz over an add that simply used Trump’s own words. Trump is showing himself to be an autocrat and you all should be scared.

Oh yea, go try to prove damages against a multi - billion dollar corp that has a whole a team roster of $1,000’s/hr lawyers that don’t lose.

Ted Cruz isn’t a media entity.
