of all the crazy from trump this is the one thing i can definitely get behind.
Freedom of the press is the freedom to share news, facts, to ensure you have an educated population. That's the purpose of it, anyway. Bias is one thing, but for the last decade and especially the last several years the "news" has become nothing but outright lies and fabrications. The internet, with an assist from 24 hour cable news, killed journalism, and SJWs destroyed their ethics and integrity. I'm fine with the courts finishing off the institutions and journalists themselves.
I wholeheartedly support Trump's desire to strengthen libel and slander laws, to the point that anytime one of those pieces of shit opens their mouth and tries painting a false narrative they open themselves up to immediate hulk hogan level lawsuits by anyone, without the requirement of the billionaire backing your suit.
100 million dollars per infraction until the blue hairs and hate pundits are eating out of trash bins should resolve the current culture war rather quickly.
One caveat, of course, is Op/Ed. If you are going to run a story about someone's opinion, that article should be clearly labeled in 40 point font across the top and bottom that it is an opinion, and not the news. It should be written as an opinion piece, and not stated as fact. This applies to all blogs as well. It removes it as a valid source for citation, it's just one random assholes opinion on something. It's not "press" and shouldn't enjoy the protection that press is provided, like press shield laws, etc
