Trump Campaign Files Libel Suit Against NYT

Trump Campaign Files Libel Suit against NYT over Russian Interference Claims
"The Trump presidential campaign announced on Wednesday that it had filed a libel suit against the New York Times over a March 27, 2019 column by former Times editor Max Frankel...

Frankel’s column was published in the Times’s Opinion section, so it is unclear whether the libel suit will have any effect."


If campaigns are going to start suing the media where will it end. Imagine this after all the things Trump falsely claims about individuals on a daily basis. If everyone's campaigns starts running to the courts it'll end up with the judicial branch running the country. It also means every media entity (right or left) running the risk of financial ruin when they fall out of favor. Meanwhile Trump seems to be immune, free to say whatever he pleases towards anyone so long as he sits on the throne with impunity. << That was opinion.. so please don't sue me too for having one!
