Lying To The Media Isn't Against The Law...Apparently

[mudwhistle]

James Comey went to the media with a lie about Russian Collusion, which was a lie, and the media ran with it knowing it was a lie.

Adam Schiff often came out of classified briefings showing that there was no evidence of Russian Collusion (or other evidence) but he kept telling the media that he saw direct evidence of it.

Apparently this isn't against the law. It's dishonest and unethical, but it isn't against the law.

However, if he tells congress under oath that he's seen evidence of Russian Collusion, he would be committing perjury.

Right now the Trump Administration is busy fighting dishonest activist judges who seem to think they have the right to tell the president how to do his job.

Lying about Elon Musk isn't against the law if the media is getting the lies from members of the FBI or congress. Lying about anyone isn't against the law if they take our government's word. It's actionable in a lawsuit for slander, but it's not a crime in itself.
It's up to the media to double-check the information they're putting out, but they just don't do this anymore.

This needs to end.

The media lying isn't against the law either, and that need to change.
They need to be held accountable for when they lie.
