Federal Judge Silberman: We are very close to one-party control of the press


Federal Judge Silberman, in his dissent, argues the court should overrule Sullivan vs. New York Times, which holds that you can't sue the press for defamation without proving malice, which is near impossible.

[link to www.cadc.uscourts.gov (secure)]

"After observing my colleagues’ efforts to stretch the actual malice rule like a rubber band, I am prompted to urge the overruling of New York Times v. Sullivan."

"Nevertheless, I recognize how difficult it will be to
persuade the Supreme Court to overrule such a “landmark”
decision. After all, doing so would incur the wrath of press and media."

"It allows the press to cast false aspersions on public figures with near impunity. It would be one thing if this were a two-sided phenomenon."

"The increased power of the press is so dangerous today because we are very close to one-party control of these institutions."

"Nearly all television—network and cable—is a Democratic Party trumpet. Even the government-supported National Public Radio follows along."

"ideological homogeneity in the media—or in the channels of information distribution—risks repressing certain ideas from the public consciousness just as surely as if access were restricted by the government."


It's quite a read! He's got a racial spin in there, too, and a nice Silicon Valley/big tech smack down.

All the mainly leftist immigrants from Latin-America will make USA into a one-party state. Trump may have been the last republican president of USA. And there is already a tendency towards political oppression. This will only get worse.

Thanks Beeches hf

It's interesting to see the lefties' opinions and defenses in all the various comment sections. Many of them argue that doing away with Sullivan vs New York Times would be an assault on free speech. I thought the judge made a great case as to why it should be overruled.

Close? Only close?

Cementing all the evidence of fraud and corruption through HR 1 with MSM cheering them on and its only close?

Future Dem voters flooding the borders, mass amnesty on the horizon, DC and territories made into states adding more Dem votes to the rolls, packing SCOTUS to dilute an already liberal leaning court even more . . . get the picture.

Dems will extend the fraud even more until there is zero chance of common sense and rationality ruling our country ever again.
