The Main Stream Media has been accumulating a bad reputation for Fake news. Part of this is President Trump calling them out. Part is alternate news outlets like Informationwar, wikileaks, and other internet sources; publishing the real news, to help expose the Fake news. But the most damning force here is the Main Stream Media itself, and their propensity to publish the most obvious crap; guided by leftist political agendas. But the last shoe to fall has been lawsuits for libel against targeted people, and that shoe has finally fallen!
In this article:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has gone on the record saying that the time has come to open up the libel laws that have insulated the media.

The Protection from lawsuit by celebrities was added in the mid 1960s to strengthen the First Amendment protection of the media has allowed them to dig deeply to expose the powerful. This was extended to them to allow them to target politicians, while Journalistic integrity was strong in the USA.

Today, Journalistic integrity is non existent, and lies are replacing actual research, for political purposes:
That statement holds particularly true in the case of the Covington Catholic High School students who were bullied by a Native American activist and the mainstream media for wearing a MAGA hat and peacefully participating in the March for Life in Washington, D.C.
An adult (Chronologically) Native American activist, assaulted a sixteen year old boy. The Washington Post spun this story as though the child, ho was minding his own Business; did in fact attack, and scorn, this activist! WHAAAT? Invert a story, publish it internationally, and cause an innocent child to receive death threats; Just because the innocent child was wearing a MAGA cap! He was also there at a Pro-life rally in Washing DC; so they had, in their mind, good reason to attack this child!
Now, as is right, this child has filed a $250,000,000.00 lawsuit for their libel published in this story! I honestly do NOT see how he can loose, as the libel is blatant and obvious! This will be interesting to follow....
