Oh yeah, heaven forbid the press should be held to the same standard as ordinary citizens and not be allowed to broadcast false information about people with whom they disagree politically. You'd be singing a different tune if they were spreading lies about Democrats.Most likely. He's already talking about changing the laws to make it easier for him to sue the press. That's quite a horrid sign.
They are. All the same libel and slander laws apply to the press as apply to anyone else.
Trump insisted he would *change* the existing laws to make it easier to sue the press. And given Trump's comic overreactions to criticism (talking about his dick on national television, anyone), that's not a good sign for freedom of the press.
