I understood you.... keep dreaming. Nothing the media does results in criminal charges. Remember that pesky lil think called the First Amendment? They can abuse it all they want, that's just reality. But I wish it would happen the way you said, let the people mete out justice!!!
bbbass,
The LIBEL & SLANDER laws need to be AMENDED to subject the mass media to the same TEST for possibly being SUED INTO POVERTY as the rest of us are subject to.
Members of the "popular press" & the "mass media" are NO MORE OR LESS "special" than the other 99% of Americans are.
The test to win a civil case against the media should be ONLY: WAS IT THE TRUTH.
(WNEN & IF the press gets caught telling LIES, they should suffer the consequences in civil court.)
BTW, there is NO freedom to use the public airwaves and/or TAXPAYER'S MONEY to make huge profits by broadcasting/printing KNOWING LIES.
yours, satx
